Tom BallardHOST
I don't always agree, but that's probably, uh, you know, to be expected.
Tom BallardHOST
You've got Tony Barry from the Liberal world involved, and you've had experience working on Zoe Daniels' campaign in Goldstein as well.
Tom BallardHOST
I mean, I don't know, does Redbridge have a specific progressive mission? Are you, are you broadly on the progressive side of politics? Is that where the company places itself, or is it more just about finding out more about people on, on all parts of the political spectrum for, for anyone who, who's interested?
Alex FeinGUEST
Yeah.

Michelle GrattanHOST
Meanwhile, in Canberra, everyone has eyes firmly on the southern state, especially for this latest real-time test of One Nation's support in the electorate.
Michelle GrattanHOST
In this podcast on the Victorian election, Tony Barry, from the Redbridge Political Consultancy and a former Liberal staffer, sets the scene.
Michelle GrattanHOST
We then speak to Premier Ben Carroll, Opposition leader Jess Wilson, and the Victorian One Nation deputy leader Colleen Harkin.
Michelle GrattanHOST
[pensive music] Tony Barry, can we begin with an overview of how the land lies in Victoria? Labor's on the nose, but the coalition needs some 16 seats for majority government.
Michelle GrattanHOST
That would be difficult at the best of times, but there's the complication of One Nation, which has been polling strongly, but we don't know how that will translate.
Michelle GrattanHOST
So what's your view of it?
15 MINS LATER
Michelle GrattanHOST
Yes, news of the potholes has even, uh, reached us here in Canberra.
Michelle GrattanHOST
We've had, uh, clips on television about all those potholes.
Nick DyrenfurthHOST
Coalition leads on economic management, national security, and tax.
Nick DyrenfurthHOST
Great line from your, um, uh, co-director there at Redbridge, Tony, Tony Barry, um, which you've been running through, uh, "The cash register never lies." Terrific line, but you have to wonder why now, when the focus should be on economic management, and the Coalition ostensibly, um, are reasserting the strength on economic management, um, uh, government spending, tax, cost of living, et cetera.
Nick DyrenfurthHOST
Why then have they chosen this moment to go big on immigration? I mean, I think the answer's obvious, but it seems, um, deeply counterintuitive.
Kos SamarasHOST
Let's be blunt.
Shane McInnesHOST
I want to hear from you, 133693.
Shane McInnesHOST
And before we get to Tony Barry, who is Director at Redbridge, and to your calls, what about this from Ben Carroll today? Playing underdog and embracing Wharfie time in a similar vein to the Brisbane Lions.
Shane McInnesHOST
It's warfie time.
Ben CarrollSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's very clear that the Liberals and One Nation think they've got this election in the bag.
Matt GranlundCORRESPONDENT
I want to hear from you.
Shane McInnesHOST
1-double-3-6-9-3.
Shane McInnesHOST
Has One Nation lost some of its luster in Victoria? Are you thinking now that you will go for the devil you know in Labor or the Coalition two months today before the November state election? Joining me on the line now is Tony Barry, director at Redbridge.
Shane McInnesHOST
Tony, good afternoon.
Tony BarryGUEST
And Jess Wilson is putting more policies out there and a more values-based narrative that they're starting to sort of move towards that but I think we're still going to see the soft edge of the vote for a few more weeks yet because state politics people are quite disengaged relative to federal politics but as we get to the pointy end and we are starting to get to the pointy end as long as the coalition are effective in their messaging then I think we're going to see a big break in the voting perceptions towards the coalition I think.
Shane McInnesHOST
Tony Barry, Director at Redbridge, always appreciate your time.
Shane McInnesHOST
No doubt we will talk again in the lead-up to the election.
Shane McInnesHOST
133693, I want to hear from you.
Shane McInnesHOST
We're going with One Nation.
Shane McInnesHOST
Has that subsided now that we're just two months out from the state election? 133693, is Jess Wilson winning you over? showing that age and maybe some inexperience isn't necessarily a barrier to her being the Premier.
Shane McInnesHOST
And do you agree with Tony Barry that, Ben Carroll, if you're arrested on Labor voter, is he struggling? 1-double-3-6-9-3.
Shane McInnesHOST
I've said it before, I'll say it again.
