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.
