ملخص مفصل

Welcome to our rolling live coverage of the campaign launches for the Victorian state election, now under two weeks away.

About 250 volunteers, MPs, power brokers and party faithful have filed into the Kellaway Community Centre in Moonee Ponds for Labor’s campaign launch.

Premier Ben Carroll and his deputy Gabrielle Williams will address the crowd, as they try to defy dire opinion polls pointing to a heavy defeat on November 28.
