The Victorian Greens have slammed the state government's decision to run an open ticket in the crucial inner-city electorate of Prahran, warning the move could pave the way for a conservative coalition victory. Greens leader Ellen Sandell strongly criticized the choice on Tuesday, arguing that refusing to preference progressive candidates in the closely contested seat is a major risk.
Prahran is currently held by Liberal member Rachel Westaway by a very slim margin of 1.3 percent. More details are expected as the story develops.
