Fifteen candidates for Point Cook

The new seat of Point Cook will be contested by 15 candidates.

The seat takes in Altona Meadows and Seabrook.

The electorate was created following the 2020-21 redistribution of state electoral boundaries, as Seaholme and Altona were transferred to the Williamstown electorate and Laverton to the new seat of Laverton.

As a result, 46,880 voters within the seat are within the former Altona electorate.

Labor holds the seat with an estimated margin of 12.8 per cent.

A total of 15 candidates are nominating for election in Point Cook. They are: Carolyn Cronkwright (Family First Victoria), Terri Beech (Animal Justice Party), Shamsher Khan (Greens), Larry Zhao (independent), Angela Newhouse (Liberal), Alex McAulay (Victorian Socialists), Lisa Jane Gatti (Transport Matters), Emma Law (Health Australia Party), Rakhi P. Chaudhary (New Democrats), Mathew Hilakari (Labor), Adrian Abdulovski (Freedom Party of Victoria), Shwetali Sawant (independent), Scott Grimley (Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party), Daniel Hamman (Labour DLP), and Joe Garra (independent).
