The Greens are planning to bring together conservative Muslim voters and young progressives in an effort to win a key Melbourne seat from Labor. This contest will test the implications of the Albanese government's stance on the war in Gaza. Greens leader Adam Bandt criticized Labor member Peter Khalil for failing renters, first-time homebuyers, and for not condemning Israel's invasion of Gaza.
The Greens will seek to unite conservative Muslim voters with young progressives to take a key Melbourne seat off Labor , in a high-profile electoral contest testing the implications of the Albanese government’s nuanced position on the war in Gaza.she wanted to quit state politics to run for preselection in the inner-northern seat, which is the epicentre of Melbourne ’s large pro-Palestine protest movement.
“The people of Wills are progressive and compassionate, but their values are being betrayed by a Labor Party approving new coal and gas projects and backing the invasion of Gaza.” The Greens now hope the more than 10 per cent of Wills voters who are Muslim will be swayed by the party’s stance against the war which has killed more than 32,000 people in Gaza, according to the strip’s Hamas-run health authorities.
Pitted against the Greens’ passionate rhetoric and continuous campaigning on the war, Khalil faces a difficult task in convincing voters sympathetic to the Palestinian cause that he is on their side.
