As the Victorian Electoral Commission published it (VEC results ↗). Parties are those the candidates stood for then; a member may have changed party since. The 2021 redivision of Victoria's State electoral boundaries came into effect on 1 November 2022 and will remain in place until the writ for the 2030 State election is issued, unless triggered sooner.

Where they stand, issue by issue

Each entry is that person's own stated view, with its sources. The badge says what kind of source backs it — official record, own statement, news report or encyclopedia — which describes the evidence, not how much we believe it. Nothing is totalled or ranked; recorded votes are counted only to point to the member's record, where each is listed. See methodology.

Welfare & social services

Nina CrawleyGreens own statement

Nina Crawley says BANSIC does its work "with NO secure state funding", and that "If candidates are serious about tackling the cost of living for families and improving community safety", they should back the call for "$4.9 million a year in secure funding for frontline community support services."

Nina CrawleyGreens own statement

Of a "designated area" at "Northland Shopping Centre" giving police and PSOs powers "to stop and search people", Nina Crawley says "Giving police greater powers over ordinary people is a big deal and we shouldn't do it just because it 'might' help", adding "The evidence is that it doesn't and it contributes to racial profiling."

Oscar LopezLiberal own statement

His Liberal candidate page campaigns on community safety, including "safer bus and train services for Ivanhoe with 3000 more police and 200 new PSOs".

Native forest logging

Anthony CarbinesLabor · sitting official record

Voted aye on 30 May 2024 on an amendment moved during the Legislative Assembly's consideration of the Sustainable Forests (Timber) Repeal Bill 2024, which repealed the Sustainable Forests (Timber) Act 2004 following the cessation of native forest logging on 1 January 2024. The question was 'That the words proposed to be omitted stand part of the question' (Legislative Assembly, 30 May 2024; Ayes 53, Noes 24; agreed to): an aye vote kept the words the amendment proposed to omit. It was a vote on the amendment, not on the bill.
