Projection: #Melbourne ALP gain from Green. Seat has been moved to expected win status.

Peter Dutton: "We will revitalise discussions on a Free Trade Agreement with our trusted partner, Israel – building on a strong economic relationship and looking to harness Israel’s strengths in technology and R&D."
🧵 Dutton says he'll seek an FTA with Israel if he wins the election.
