0221 GMT - Australian pollster Redbridge-Accent says the country's Labor government could face disaster in the coming federal election by losing up to eight seats in the southern state of Victoria alone. The polling suggests Labor's support has fallen sharply on a two-party preferred basis across the state, leaving a large number of marginal seats vulnerable to being lost to opposition parties. The Labor government currently has 77 electorates out of the 151 electorates in the country. The polling comes as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese indicates he is moving closer to calling the election, which must be held by May 17. A political party needs to secure at least 76 electorates to form the government. (james.glynn@wsj.com; @JamesGlynnWSJ)
