One prediction market prices this story:
- One Nation — the market puts it at 59%, closing 28 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if One Nation holds the third-most seats in the Victorian Legislative Assembly after the 2026 state election. It resolves to No if they do not hold that position. Readers often mistake the linked news story about abortion funding for the actual resolution criteria.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
