In the latest Newspoll released today, primary support for the Coalition has lifted to 40 per cent for the first time since the 2022 election, and Peter Dutton’s net approval now surpasses Anthony Albanese’s.
Dr Zareh Ghazarian, Politics Lecturer in the School of Social Sciences said that:
“These results demonstrate that the Albanese Government is shedding electoral support. While the primary vote for both major parties has risen, in the all-important two-party preferred poll, the Coalition has consolidated its lead over Labor.
“Furthermore, voters are seemingly shunning other parties such as the Greens and One Nation.
“With Labor currently enjoying a slim majority in the House of Representatives, the results today suggest that the next election will be very close. The prospect of neither party winning a majority is very real based on these numbers.”

What a surprise, we dumped the most corrupt and incompetent bunch of grifters and were hoping for an adult government that was going to move us into some sort of utopian future, even though they are certainly better than the other mob, what a disappointment , fucken support a genocide, a totally weak and piss poor NACC, and thrown billions away on Fuck All subs that will only prop up the Septics and Poms war industry, now they’re blaming Social Media instead of going for the lying MSM. Albo and Wong are a fucken disgrace and are not the labor party people that I voted for. And now we have the Orange Shitstain as well, stop the world, I want to get off, We’re Fucked
Truly a “cqptured” Vichy-style government.
The lack of intelligence displayed by the duopoly over the last year has been mind boggling.
yep, with you Steve – where is the Labor party that promised so much, and has delivered so little.We are dreadfully disappointed – not enough to vote Liberal or Green but what do we do?? I write to my members often asking why why why. They just spout the same old tripe – the situation is more dire than we thought before blah blah blah. So tired of that argument. Do something amazing, and do it fast.
Maybe by the time of our election people will be able to see what happens in the US with Trump and realise that Dutton is a chip off that block. Or maybe that’s what the majority wants.
Peter Dutton needs to tell us NOW how he is going to make the cost of living drop, house prices drop, fuel prices drop. They can;t keep saying “we’ll fix it” without saying HOW.
Heaven help us if Potty Boy Dutton wins the next election. One reason I can suggest why support for the Greens has dropped is that rather than supporting Labor, they are demanding more and when it’s not granted or impractical, they vote with the Noalition. One neuron is just a rabble of dickheads!
If Potty Boy Dutton wins the next election, democracy will die!
keitha:
I can’t remember right now: what did they actually promise?
I’m not. It was always clear that they would dish out more of the same. Maybe without spilling the policy slop they’re serving up quite as clumsily as the previous Morrison “government” – in that regard, they really were in a class of their own. But gormless, bland, cowardly, small-target, LNP lite policy slop they promised, and gormless, bland, cowardly, small-target, LNP lite policy slop they serve!
The Albanese government are caught in a Catch22 created by the Reserve Bank of Australia and it is likley to cost them government at the 2025 election.
Having produced two back-to-back surpluses since coming to office which in turn have helped reduce inflation from 6.2% to 2.8% they have failed to bring down interest rates, the yardstick by which they will be judged and over which they have no control.
There is still a possibility that the RBA will reduce interest rates in their February meeting which could save Labor but if not, with an election scheduled for May, the perception in the electorate will be that nothing has been achieved by Labor in three years and the coalition will jump on this with the question that Dutton is already posing : do you feel better off after three years under Labor ?
The land of Oz and its great expectations.
Ah, the clarion call from the colony at the end of the globeiverse … It’s been made right and readied since the cleansing party wrought the hard yards. Whether one is fleeing via a £10 burden or escaping with a bag of loot, come one, come all to design yer own paradise of convenience.
Leave all your nightmares and history behind, as they will be replaced by the beauty of this new land, a land that will accommodate your ambitions and aspirations for a new culture of wealth, health and enlightenment, free from bonds of the past.
Ours will not be to compare. She’ll be right, mate. We have an abundance, Newscorpse, television, radio (AM & FM), internet, Netflix, iview and On-Demand streaming to your fertile minds. Oh, and we have libraries should you be bothered to read, and a parliament should you be bothered, but that ought not matter as we have multi-national global commodities coursing to and from our shores and airports (for the time being).
Yes, it’s all here to fulfill the building of your castle in the air. Never a need to stave off despair, all you must do every three years is vote. Oh, and bring yer magic wand so as to bless the contenders. Or you could head for the hills or the deserts fair.
No need for hope, no time to wait, she’ll be right mate.
They’ll wish you well as they wave you goodbye.
You don’t want the Coalition to win government which is reasonable enough, but to avoid that catastrophe you will endorse the evil Albanese government that not only shamelessly supports the genocide in Gaza, but also maligns anti-genocide protests as antisemitic, such is the level of dishonesty they are prepared to go to in order to deflect attention from their criminal complicity in the worst atrocity of the 21st century.
Yet you will not even countenance voting for the Greens, because of your conditioned hostility to a party that is unfairly unrepresented by Australia’s biased electoral system that denies Greens voters the representation they deserve. More people vote for the Greens than for the National Party and the discrepancy between the number of seats each party receives in Parliament is a disgrace to democracy. It just doesn’t occur to you that the Greens are the only party of conscience that can rein in the despicable behaviour of Labor and the Coalition. Nor does it occur to you that if the Greens voters and the Nats voters were fairly represented in parliament that the Coalition could never win enough seats to ever form government.
