While most tight contests for Victorian seats are concentrated in Melbourne, there's one regional electorate that is getting a lot of attention.
The seat of Nicholls, spreading from the Murray river down past Shepparton into central Victoria, is home to a three-cornered contest between the Liberals, Nationals and a prominent Independent, and pundits and candidates alike are struggling to figure out who's in the lead.
In addition to common concerns like cost of living, health and housing, climate change and water security are big issues in the region.
ABC Shepparton Breakfast Presenter Matt Dowling joins Melissa Clarke and James Glenday to discuss an campaign that has everyone scratching their head.
