Turnbull's government is more unstable than Gillard's. At least Labor had policy consensus

Last week’s parliamentary ambush may have caught the Turnbull government by surprise, but it seems that most voters saw mischief coming a long way off.

While Labor was winning the first floor vote from the opposition benches in more than 50 years, Essential was polling the public on their expectations for the longevity of the current Coalition.


The results show that just one third of voters, and only 50% of Coalition supporters expect the government to run full term.
