Victorian election, 15 days to go

Which party matches you?

15 questions on live Victorian issues. Every party's answer comes from something it has said or done, and is linked so you can check it. Your answers never leave this device.

  1. 1Victoria's Treaty with First Peoples should be kept rather than repealed.

    In 2025 the Victorian Parliament passed the Statewide Treaty Act, Australia's first treaty with Indigenous people, which created an elected First Peoples' body called Gellung Warl.

  2. 2Pill testing (drug checking) services should continue to operate in Victoria.

    Victoria legalised pill testing in 2024, ran an 18-month trial with mobile testing at festivals, and opened a fixed testing site in Fitzroy in August 2025.

  3. 3The supervised injecting room in North Richmond should stay at its current site.

    Melbourne's only medically supervised injecting room opened in North Richmond in 2018 next to a primary school and public housing, and there has been a long debate over whether it should move.

  4. 4Anyone charged with a new offence while on bail should be automatically refused bail.

    Labor tightened Victoria's bail laws in 2025, including stricter tests for people accused of offending while on bail; the Coalition proposes a 'one-strike' rule that would remove the court's discretion in those cases.

  5. 5Construction of the Suburban Rail Loop East should continue as planned.

    The Suburban Rail Loop East is a planned underground rail line from Cheltenham to Box Hill; works are under way and the project is estimated to cost tens of billions of dollars.

  6. 6Planning rules should allow more apartment buildings, including towers, around train stations and shopping centres in established suburbs.

    The state government's Activity Centres program rezones areas around dozens of train stations and shopping strips for denser housing, including buildings of up to 20 storeys in some inner suburbs.

  7. 7New homes should have to be all-electric, with no mains gas connection.

    Victoria already bars gas connections for many new homes and, from January 2027, requires all new homes to be built all-electric; the opposition has pledged to repeal the rules.

  8. 8The VNI West high-voltage transmission line linking Victoria and New South Wales should be built.

    VNI West is a planned interconnector to carry renewable power between Victoria and NSW; its route through farmland and its rising cost estimates have been contested.

  9. 9The 7.5% levy on short-stay accommodation bookings such as Airbnb should be kept.

    Since January 2025 Victoria has charged a 7.5% levy on short-stay bookings (principal residences exempt), with revenue going to Homes Victoria for social and affordable housing.

  10. 10Melbourne's 44 ageing public housing towers should be demolished and replaced with new developments.

    The state plans to retire and rebuild all 44 high-rise public housing towers by 2051, with mixed public, community and private housing on the sites; tenants' groups and some parties want them refurbished instead.

  11. 11The Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund levy on property should be scrapped.

    Since July 2025 a levy collected with council rates funds fire and emergency services; it replaced the narrower Fire Services Property Levy and raises more money.

  12. 12High-fee private schools should pay payroll tax.

    Since July 2024 non-government schools charging above a per-student fee threshold (initially $15,000) have lost their long-standing payroll tax exemption.

  13. 13First home buyers should pay no stamp duty on homes worth up to $1 million.

    Victorian first home buyers currently pay no stamp duty on homes up to $600,000 and reduced duty up to $750,000.

  14. 14Commercial logging of native forests should be allowed to resume in Victoria.

    Commercial native timber harvesting in Victoria's state forests ended on 1 January 2024.

  15. 15Reducing state debt should take priority over funding new major infrastructure projects.

    Victoria's net debt is forecast to approach $200 billion by the end of the decade, largely from borrowing for transport and other major projects.

How it works: each answer is scored against each party's position on a five-point scale (same answer 100%, opposite answers 0%), and questions you mark as mattering count twice. A party is only matched on questions where it has a sourced position, and parties with fewer than four aren't shown. Positions were researched from party sites, media releases, Hansard and news reports and are re-checked as the campaign goes on. Spotted something out of date? The source links are the place to start.
