Mornings in Prahran | The Prahran by-election is shaping up as a barometer for key issues across the state, including crime, housing and transport. Polls show the Allan Government is on the nose, and with the ALP choosing not to contest this seat, the Prahran by-election will be the first test of whether voters trust the Liberals or the Greens more than Labor. Join Mornings presenter Raf Epstein at the Prahran Market on Tuesday, January 28, from 8.30am for a live broadcast. Raf will be joined by a panel of candidates and delve into the issues that will decide this by-election. Lawyer David Whiting will also join Raf at the Prahran Market to help you with free legal advice. |
