There are currently 17 sitting members not re-contesting.
There is one endorsed candidate for One Nation (didn't win the Nepean By-election). As State and Federal governments have different responsibilities (eg education, health, state levies/taxes, transport), different policies are required.
I have had a quick look at the health policy. It states that there could be a 100k nurse shortfall in Australia by 2025! and 123k by 2030, then goes to talk about a few strategies for Victoria. It doesn't say what the Vic nursing shortfall is likely to be - so doesn't address the Vic issue. Does bring up an interesting question, though as it talks about having discussions between Vic ON and Unis to make nursing a more attractive degree - as the funding is federal for Unis, does this type of conversation happen a lot?
A read of the education policy is a bit scary.
No preventative measures for tackling crime.
From the "Looking after our environment" policy:
protecting iconic native flora like koalas from the expansion of wind and solar farms.
As the ON leader doesn't know what the monoculture policy is - last I saw she answered a question on it by saying 'Howard and Abbott didn't think that multiculturalism works"
There is not a lot out there to attract a vote!
At least 1 Emergency won't play. Probably Hollands.
