Reported at www.abc.net.au: The Victorian Labor government is investing over $400 million in road projects in the Werribee electorate ahead of a critical by-election, reflecting the area’s growth and residents’ concerns about local infrastructure.

While Labor remains the favourite to hold the seat previously secured by Tim Pallas, polls indicate a significant swing against them, raising doubts about their prospects.

Voter dissatisfaction, particularly regarding infrastructure and cost of living issues, has prompted local sentiments for change, making Werribee a vital indicator for the future of the Labor government.
