Muslim Votes Matter (MVM) is shifting its approach for the upcoming Victorian election by supporting Labor candidates in key outer suburban seats to counter the potential rise of One Nation. The group plans to deploy volunteers in electorates like Greenvale and Narre Warren South, where they aim to bolster Labor's position against the right-wing party.
This marks a change from MVM's previous stance during the federal election, where they focused on endorsing Greens and independents due to dissatisfaction with Labor's handling of international issues. MVM will still prioritize independents on their how-to-vote cards but will prefer Labor over the Liberal party in specific contexts to minimize One Nation's influence.
Watch for MVM's grassroots efforts in Greenvale and Narre Warren South as they mobilize volunteers to influence voter turnout. Their strategy reflects a pragmatic shift to counter One Nation's rise, emphasizing community concerns over Labor's past actions on international issues.
