Comment:
At the 2016 election, the Coalition polled 2.31 half-Senate quotas, while Labor polled 2.15 half-Senate quotas.
The Coalition and Labor will therefore most likely win two seats each. The Greens polled 0.76 half-Senate quotas.
Victoria is now the Greens' strongest state apart from Tasmania, and Senator Janet Rice seems likely to be
re-elected, unless the Greens' vote collapses - in which case Labor could win three seats, as they last did in 2007.
The Liberal ticket in Victoria was unresolved until September, when new Prime Minister Morrison intervened to ensure
that Senators James Paterson and Jane Hume (both relative moderates, and both first-term Senators) would head the ticket.
This headed off possible challenges from right-wing candidates including Karina Okotel, who was number six on the 2016
Coalition ticket.
On the Labor side, the Right's Senator Jacinta Collins was selected to head the ticket, but in February she resigned to become head
of the National Catholic Education Commission. Her successor is Raff Ciccone, an official of the Shop, Distributive and Allied
Employees' Association (SDA). The Left's Senator Gavin Marshall has been
demoted to third - the second spot will go to Jess Walsh of United Voice (left). Marshall will only be re-elected if the Greens
fail to win a seat, which seems unlikely.
Senator Derryn Hinch polled 0.43 half-Senate quotas in 2016. If he runs again (he is 74) his personal brand may well be strong
enough for him to win on Coalition preferences. If not, his seat will probably go to the Coalition.
The most likely result is therefore two Coalition, two Labor, one Green and Senator Hinch, a result which
would mean no overall change. The most likely variation on that is Hinch losing to the Coalition.
One Nation and the other far-right parties have little support in Victoria.
