Anthony Albanese’s government has suffered another blow, with the Coalition now leading in Australian public support – with political commentators saying Labor needs to get its act together.
The Coalition now leads with 50.5 per cent of the vote, compared to Labor’s 49.5 per cent, according to a recent Roy Morgan poll.
news.com.au political editor Samantha Maiden said as the election was still quite a way away, Labor would not be “panicking” about the polls yet.
“We don’t know where they’re going to be, but it would certainly be something that would make some members of the Labor Party take a sip and think a little bit about what they’ve achieved this year,” she said. told Sunrise on Tuesday morning.
Anthony Albanese’s government has suffered another blow, with the Coalition now leading in Australian public support – with political commentators saying Labor needs to get its act together.
“They ruined the referendum. It did not work. Anthony Albanese spent a lot of political power and time on this and it just didn’t work and now they have all these problems with interest rates and inflation.
Maiden added that while she did not think Labor would be a one-term party, they needed to “get their act together”.
Natalie Barr said it appeared the “honeymoon” period with Mr Albanese was well and truly over.
Journalist and columnist Justin Smith said he would be surprised if polls did not show a drop in support for the Albanian government.
“I mean, they had a shocking few months with The Voice and then what happened at the High Court,” he said.
“If it doesn’t go down, you’ll wonder whether the poll is accurate or not.”
Roy Morgan’s recent results match the low point reached by the Albanian government following the defeat of the Voice to Parliament referendum last month, when all Australian states voted overwhelmingly no to the proposed constitutional change.
Labour’s fall in the polls also coincides with the High Court’s controversial decision to release 93 asylum seekers, some of whom are convicted criminals.
