VIC:Labor, Liberal leaders to sharpen pre-election pitches

Federal and state leaders of Australia's two major political parties will rally their troops as an election looms large.

Victorian Labor and Liberal faithful will gather in Melbourne on Saturday for annual state meetings ahead of the November election.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader Angus Taylor are expected to attend, alongside their respective state party leaders Jacinta Allan and Jess Wilson.

In her speech, Ms Wilson will revive a 2022 election commitment to direct 25 per cent of all new Victorian government infrastructure spending to regional projects if the coalition wins government.

Recent reputable polls indicate the Victorian coalition holds a slight edge over Labor on a two-party-preferred basis as support for One Nation rises.

Ms Wilson also led Ms Allan as preferred premier, according to Resolve Strategic's latest bi-monthly poll.
