Labor claims historic Aston by-election win

Labor has secured a once-in-a-century victory in Melbourne's outer eastern suburban seat of Aston, with Mary Doyle claiming the win over Liberal candidate Roshena Campbell. Questions are now being raised about what this loss means for the future of Peter Dutton's leadership of the Coalition, and whether the party needs a re-brand.
