Victorian Labour has been decimated in the Werribee by election.
With a margin of 10% in the last poll, even with the usual swing against the sitting government, they might still be expected to hold it.
but even this morning, the result very much on knife edge.
Labour has had a 16.5% drop in its primary vote, but thanks to the joy of preferential voting, is marginally ahead on a two party preferred basis.
Neither Labour or the Liberals could muster a primary vote of 30%, hardly a ringiing endorsement of the major party political class.
Anthony Green is not calling it either way, so must be close.
In another Victorian byelection, the Liberals have stunned the Greens by taking the inner city seat of Prahran after the former Greens MP sam Hibbins resigned after having an affair with a staffer.
Hibbins had held the seat since 2014.
Victoria, interesting times ahead.
