00:00The sports capital.
00:06The arts capital.
00:08The coffee capital.
00:11Melbourne has always prided itself on being a leader.
00:14This election, it's no different.
00:15The city and the state will determine who leads the country.
00:20I'm renting at the moment and it's difficult to find a place.
00:24Cost of living crisis.
00:25Taxation.
00:26All roads to the lodge run through Melbourne.
00:28If Peter Dutton is to win, he must pick up seats here.
00:32Right now the Liberals hold just two seats in metropolitan Melbourne.
00:35Meanwhile, Labor is facing a cost of living crisis.
00:39Seats once considered safe are much less secure.
00:42And hardheads are worried about the impact of a poor-performing state government on the
00:45Labor vote.
00:46So, what are the seats to watch?
00:49There are conventional Labor and Liberal battles in suburban Aston, Chisholm and Dunkley.
00:54Liberals are also targeting outer suburban MacEwan.
00:56And they're looking to capitalise on voter angst in Labor strongholds, filling the economic
01:01pinch.
01:02In electorates like Hawke, Bruce and even Holt.
01:05Labor is also fighting on its left flank, with the Greens throwing everything at wills
01:09where it hopes to capitalise on pro-Palestinian sentiment.
01:14McNamara will also be a tight watch in the three-horse race.
01:18The Liberals, on the other hand, need to win back Kooyong and Goldstein, the former jewels
01:23in its crown that were won by teal independents Manek Ryan and Zoe Daniel.
01:27Those contests are tipped to be tight again.
01:29And in Wannan, in Victoria's West, frontbencher Dan Tehan is facing a well-resourced challenge
01:34from independent Alex Dyson.
01:36The battle for Victoria we've fought on many fronts.
01:39And after years of being an afterthought, voters here now have a greater level of influence.
01:45Cost of living is crazy.
01:48Kinder Buenos used to be $1.50.
01:51They're $3 now.
01:53That's the indicator?
01:54That's the indicator.
01:55Every vote counts.
