‘Best’: Coalition’s huge call after shock poll

‘Best’:Coalition’s huge call after shock poll (msn.com)

The Coalition has not “given up” onclinching an outright victory in next year’s federal election despite a keypoll backing expectations Labor will return in minority government, Nationalsleader David Littleproud has said.

Labor and the Coalition are neck and neck on a two-party-preferredbasis, according to the latest Newspoll.

“We haven’t given up on the fact that we can still govern in our own right,” Mr Littleproud said.

“I think the fact that we have been able to get to such a competitiveposition in two years of an Albanese Government shows the consistency anddiscipline that Peter Dutton and I brought to the leadership of the Nationaland Liberal Party.”

Conducted between July 15 and July 19, it surveyed 1258 voters and putthe Albanese government’s primary vote at 32 per cent.

The result comes as the government battles inflation and rising cost ofliving, a key issue Mr Littleproud keenly seized on.

“This cost of living crisis has been created by Anthony Albanese and JimChalmers, it’s the 1.67 million new migrants that are going to come in withoutgiving them a home, pushing up rents, pushing up the costs, it’s theirelectricity bills and an ideology of all renewables, that’s not only costingthem their electricity bill, but their food bill,” he said.

The figure marks a one per cent drop for Labor since the last Newspoll.

Support for the Coalition has risen to 39 per cent – marking one of thewidest gaps between the two major parties.

Mr Albanese remains the clear favourite at 46 per cent, compared with MrDutton’s 39 per cent.

But voters still remain dissatisfied with both leaders – with MrAlbanese’s approval rating dropping a point to 43 per cent.

Dissatisfaction for Mr Dutton also dropped by a point to 40 per cent.

The Greens primary vote fell a point to 12 per cent while other majorparties had their primary vote lifted a point to 11 per cent.

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation remained unchanged at a six per cent primaryvote.

The latest Newspoll follows the Reserve Bank of Australia holding firmon the official cash rate, which stands at 4.35 per cent.

RBA governor Michele Bullock said the bank would “not hesitate” to hikeinterest rates if it meant not exposing Australians to prolonged highinflation, while warning those levels may not return to the 2-3 per cent targetband until December next year.

The Albanese government is also facing renewed pressure on its responseto cost of living relief measures, including its promised $300 energy rebates.

Australian households were set to save $300 on electricity bills as partof the federal budget, but bureaucratic red tape has delayed the rollout.

Earlier in the week, the Prime Minister announced early childcareworkers would receive a significant 15 per cent wage increase, starting with a10 per cent increase from December.

Parliament is set to resume on Monday following the five-week winterbreak.
