Albanese Labor Govt Watch

[dedja]

This government isn’t the first and won’t be the last to do it … using public money to fund blatant political ads in the guise of ‘informing the public’ with regard to the tax rate changes on July 1.

How else is he supposed to cover up the fact he's broken this election promise?

But have to hand it to them; their alternative was pretty smart.

Opposition leader Peter Dutton has slid ahead of Anthony Albanese as the nation’s preferred prime minister, according to the results of a new poll.

The latest Resolve political survey revealed Mr Dutton held a narrow lead with 36 per cent of voters support, slightly ahead of Mr Albanese’s 35 per cent.

It comes after the Liberal leader sharply rejected Labor’s climate policy last week, vowing to abandon its interim legislated carbon emissions target to focus on the economy.

The results of the poll, conducted for the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age, surveyed over 1,600 eligible voters last week.

The poll revealed Labor’s primary vote fell to 28 per cent, with the Coalition remaining at 36 per cent.

About 40 per cent of voters believed Mr Dutton and the Coalition would better manage the economy while 24 per cent preferred Mr Albanese and Labor.

A drop in approval over Labor’s economic policies come after its third federal budget which included a $300 power bill rebate, welfare support and tax cuts from July 1.

In his budget reply Mr Dutton vowed to cut the permanent migration intake to shelve up housing stock and deploy nuclear energy to supplement Australia’s transition away from coal power.

When about Mr Albanese’s performance as prime minister about 36 per cent of voters said he was doing well, while 50 per cent believing he was doing poorly.

About 40 per cent of voters said Mr Dutton was doing a bad job as opposition leader while 42 per cent approved of his performance.

Both major parties held equal standing with backing from 32 per cent of the voters on the issue of jobs and wages.

Mr Albanese and Labor attracted more support on the issue of environment and climate, with 24 per cent of the vote in contrast to 22 per cent support for Mr Dutton and the Coalition.

The next federal election is due by May next year.

Dutton is unelectable.
More and more votes are going to go to the teals and greens and I’d suspect Labor win next election with a minority and has to work with those two

[dedja]

All that poll shows is that the people polled thought Dutton was fractionally less shit than Albanese.

The choice at the next election is like choosing between sleeping with your sister or mother.

Interesting how Albo has gone from looking like a "good bloke" to a bit of a bumbler.
He's tried to be a friend of everybody and people are starting to see through it
Shorten tried the same thing and came a cropper. Told the Melbourne luvvies that coal is bad then told Queenslanders coal is good
The Voice thing really hurt his appearance.
People are hurting financially and someone has to cop it. They did promise life would be cheaper under them and its not (it never was going to be. Interest rates and cost of energy were always going to sky rocket)

On the other hand; nobody likes Dutton and their track record is awful but people have short memories.

Do people really care about climate change or keeping warm and/or feeding their kids?
The Teal areas can afford to care about climate change - I'm not sure people in Laborland give the same $hit.
It certainly came out that way in the Voice referendum where the Labor vote completely smashed them

[MW]

Could put Pauline Hanson in charge of the coalition right now and she'd be the preferred PM...
Cost of living will kill every sitting government at their next elections around the world.

This is certainly his chance, no doubt. Cost of living is out of control, the economy is actually in the absolute shit is crashing hard and this won't be a soft landing which should show its face on the next few months.

Dutton had plenty to work with. The main difference though between Dutton and Abbot is that firstly Abbot didn't have the teals to contend with and they are an issue and Holmes à court has his "not targets we don't do that" well set at the moment.

I read an analysis of the seats Dutton would need to flip and the affect of the Teals and I'm not sure it can be done regardless of how bad Albo tanks leading up to may.

Also the thing to remember about Abbott was his community work was huge. Actually a point I really respected him for, actually being out there and holding a hose with the RFS. He was crazy as a cut snake at times, but he had the passion. You can't say that about Dutton and he has this Teals issue to deal with as well. The LNP need a strong leader, a true statemen to lead them through this and Dutton is not that person.

The next government will be a shit mess of Labor, greens and Teals. It will be an absolute shit show.

Actually it was a pretty funny comment

[Jim05]

Surely it’s time to expel Lidia Thorpe from Parliament. Disgraceful

Agreed.
She's an embarrassment to ALL Australians.
You've had your fun Lydia now go back to your former life

[Booney]

Thorpe says, and it has been shown, that she pledged allegiance to the Queens "hairs" not the Queens "heirs".

For mine then she's not a sworn in senator and she should immediately be removed from the senate.

[dedja]

LOL, good luck with that one, the Australian Constitution says hello.

Yep, she’s a looney and disgrace, but was duly elected, so stuck with her unless she resigns, does not seek re-election (which she has claimed, but who knows) or is not re-elected.

She was required to toff her lid to Camilla then?
