In the lead-up to the Dunkley by-election, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, labeled his team as the “Albanistas” and is facing criticism for his leadership and trustworthiness, with Sky News hosts Sharri Markson and Paul Murray being “relentless” and highlighting a decline in his “trust factor”. Former Victorian premier Jeff Kennett predicts a voter rebellion against Labor policies, partly due to unfulfilled promises like the $275 power bill reduction. Polls suggest a close contest, with the Liberals potentially securing a shock win. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and Albanese have clashed over various issues, including a controversial tweet from deputy Opposition leader Sussan Ley about “Victorian women being assaulted by foreign criminals”. Albanese accused the Coalition of “running fear campaigns”. The outcome of the Dunkley by-election is seen as crucial for Albanese's leadership, with a narrow victory or loss potentially proving fatal.
