after it had exhausted attempts to investigate an alleged violation of political donation disclosure laws. The investigation followed a leak of documents showing a proposed contract requiring a Liberal donor to pay a total of $125,000 to the chief of staff's private marketing firm, potentially in breach of the $4,210 limit on donations from individuals or organisations. In a statement outlining the referral, the Victorian electoral commissioner stressed that the VEC had not "received full co-operation from those connected to its investigation". However, Guy denied allegations of wrongdoing and insisted that he had provided material to the VEC. The following day, the Liberals accused the VEC of deliberate electoral interference and an "intent to damage the Liberal Party in the State Election" in a cease and desist letter by the party's lawyers. On 19 November, the Liberal Party dumped Renee Heath, the first ranked candidate for the Liberal ticket in the

Conversely, there was a smaller swing towards Labor in more marginal seats in Melbourne's east. Ultimately the Labor Party lost the seats of Hawthorn and Nepean to the Liberal party, as well as the seat of Richmond to the Greens. The Labor-held seats of Bass and Bayswater, which were made notionally Liberal following redistribution, were retained by their Labor incumbents. The Liberal-held seats of Pakenham and Ripon, which were made notionally Labor following redistribution, were won by Labor candidates. The independent seat of Morwell, which was made notionally Labor following redistribution, was won by the Nationals candidate. No independent candidates were elected, with all incumbent independents defeated by the Nationals.
