Labor is sending out mass texts about a decision from the Greens that could ‘put in jeopardy’ its ability to form a government.
The party is slamming the Greens’ decision not to give preference instructions in two key Melbourne seats, giving the Liberals an advantage.
‘The Greens have made a decision to NOT preference Labor in the critical seat of Deakin held by the Liberals by 375 votes and other critical marginal seats,’ the text on Saturday afternoon said.
‘Preferences are critical in keeping Dutton out and this decision by Adam Bandt will put in jeopardy Labor forming government.’
The party also took to social media to condemn the move, saying on Saturday afternoon: ‘Adam Bandt and the Victorian Greens are helping Peter Dutton become Prime Minister’.
‘The Greens’ open ticket in Deakin is helping Michael Sukkar win, taking Dutton one step closer to the Lodge and keeping ultra-conservative Sukkar in his seat,’ it said.
‘Adam Bandt needs to explain his decision. The Greens should be embarrassed.’
