Labor is expected to pick up a number of seats from the Coalition in progressive Victorian seats at the upcoming May federal election.
Mr Shorten has veered away from exact costings for his emissions reduction plan, saying no figure will appease climate sceptics. Regardless of costings, Labor's Althony Albanese has said ‘the country can’t afford not to act’, maintaining the economy will grow by 23 per cent under Labor. Image: News Corp Australia

Progressive Vic bs under dodgy Dan!+++
Good! We need a change of government! Enough of Dutton, Abbott, Christian Porter and Michaelia Cash! Times up! 👏🏽
I’d call them regressive.
Seriously there must be something wrong with people! Don’t they realise what little Bill’s all about? Certainly not the country, just himself, so sad
The people are determined to learn the hard way, they who vote Labor will be the first to whinge.
Bill Shorten has the smile of a dishonest car salesman
Regressive Victoria it would have to be to vote labour
I can less about Victoristan everyday...
Time to start building a wall along the Victorian border.
Progressive the word used in early 1900’s in USA to describe Socialists
Be VERY afraid. We’ll have Dodgy Dan and the country will have BS Bill. 🤦🏻♂️😵
