Macca and Paul talk to Federal MP for Wills, Peter Khalil, about Gaza, AID Workers, Religious Discrimination Policy, The Greens eyeing his seat and so much more.

The Victorian Greens leader, Samantha Ratnam, has put her hand up to run in the federal seat of Wills, in a move that has some Labor figures worried about the party’s grip on the seat.

Ratnam on Thursday announced she has nominated for preselection to contest the federal seat of Wills, which takes in the northern Melbourne suburbs of Brunswick, Coburg, Glenroy, Fawkner and Pascoe Vale. It is held by Labor MP Peter Khalil on a margin of 8.6% on a two-candidate-preferred basis against the Greens.

But senior Labor figures have expressed concerned that the margin could narrow, amid backlash over the party’s response to the Hamas-Israel war.
