Labor has retained the Victorian seat of Dunkley in a by-election despite a swing towards the Liberal Party. Liberal candidate Nathan Conroy, described as a 'very strong candidate,' conceded to Labor's Jodie Belyea. Sky News analysts noted a swing to the Liberals but projected a Labor victory. The absence of One Nation or United Australia Party candidates was seen as hopeful for the Liberals. The by-election result was viewed as a 'wake-up' call for the Albanese government by Peta Credlin, with the Liberal Party gaining momentum to challenge Labor in the general election.
