Greens lash Labor over Prahran preferences The Victorian Greens have released a scathing rebuke of Labor's decision to deny the party preferences in the key election seat of Prahran. Labor had previously given its preferences to the Greens, which helped the party claim the inner south-east Melbourne seat in 2014. Liberal MP Rachel Westaway now holds the seat, after winning it by a slim margin in a 2024 by-election. Yesterday, Labor confirmed it will run an open ticket, meaning it will not direct its supporters where to put their remaining votes on the ballot. Victorian Greens leader Ellen Sandell says the preference arrangement is shocking considering the election could be one of the most consequential in the state's history. "This is Labor admitting that they have more in common with One Nation and the Liberals than they do with the Greens — because the Greens want real change," she said.
