NORTHCOTE POLL ALERT
■ Could Kat Theophanous lose the traditional Labor seat of Northcote to the Greens, in a repeat of the November 2017 by-election? The Greens believe their candidate Campbell Gome has a strong chance of taking the innersuburban seat at this Saturday’s State Election. “Northcote was first contested at the 1927 election. It was a safe Labor seat for 90 years until being lost to the Greens at a November 2017 by-election,” said Anthony Green, ABC election analyst. “The Greens have finished second to Labor at the last five state elections with Labor's lead declining at each election.” The ALP has a 3.4 per cent margin, based on the 2018 results. The 11 candidates are Adrian Whitehead, Anastacia Ntouini (Freedom), Campbell Gome (Greens), Tim Oseckas (Animal Justice), Ken Larkin (Socialists), Anthony Cave (Liberal Deomocrats), Kat Theophanous (ALP), Kathrine Ashton (Family First), April Clarke (Reason), Stewart Todhunter (Liberal), Ashish Verma.
