The Australian has dropped a new Newspoll a fortnight rather than three weeks after the last, perhaps portending a quickening of the schedule as the federal election approaches. Labor’s two-party lead is unchanged at 53-47, from primary votes of Coalition 37% (steady), Labor 37% (down one), Greens 11% (up one) and One Nation 2% (down one). Scott Morrison is up two on approval to 48% and disapproval to 49%, while Anthony Albanese is steady on 37% and down one to 47%. Morrison’s lead as preferred prime minister edges from 47-35 to 47-34. The poll was conducted Wednesday to Sunday from a sample of 1545.
UPDATE: The poll also found 59% approval and 31% disapproval for Australia “building and operating nuclear-powered submarines”, which was put to respondents after an introductory spiel explaining the AUKUS deal. Forty-six per cent felt it would make Australia more secure, compared with 14% less secure and 29% for no difference. Seventy-five per cent rated that China posed a significant threat to Australia’s national security, compared with 15% who did not.

Peta Credlin had wtte on Saturday.

Credlin is a frickin joke.
She is a paid shill. Shameless to her core.
Thoughts and prayers. Anyway, at least he won’t have to go through all that play acting and faux sincerity anymore. Sad.
Kinda puts the issue of ICAC should have waited, with the seriousness of the pandemic and all, to bed.
Is Barilaro mentioned in the Pandora papers?

Before there is talk about the NSW government being defeated while seats are vacant, there is past precedent that Premiers will be granted a prorogation of parliament if looming by-elections cause a temporary change in numbers that could defeat the government. #nswpol #auspol

What does that mean in simple English?

The only renewal and replacement that we need is at the federal government level.
The non clay pigeons are coming home to roost ….
Before the federal ICAC or integrity commission comes into play
Barilaro might see this a chance of being the federal leader of the National party finding a safe federal national party seat to be a candidate , if labor does become the federalGovernment
Barnaby Joyce is unlikely to remain in parliament

Exactly.
There is so much Schaudenfreude about.
The herald sun as well as the daily tele had front pages after the protests about Victorian govt losing control.
And barely a week later. NSW is going to have a new premier and deputy

When asked about Gladys and Barilaro resignations will Morrison feign ignorance and say “I barely know them personally”?
If you can’t govern yourselves, you can’t govern the state.
The latest from Barilaro via ABC’s Matt Bevan:

GladysB came before icac 12 months ago.
I was shocked that she didnt resign then.
Of course with the help of the media she was presented as a poor damoiselle unlucky in love.
Vomit inducing stuff.

She reminds me of Cruella De Ville.
Credlin is a failure. She couldnt keep Captain Clownshoes from being dumped by his own party.

Taylormade
Surely you jest.
Each and every day our media here in Victoria regurgitates how wonderful the NSW state liberal govt is and how magnificently they are running the state in light of pandemic.
They continually ask vic state govt counterparts questions that start off with
Why arent we doing what NSW is doing. Blah blah blah……..
And meanwhile, both Premier and deputy have resigned and are leaving parliament altogether in the midst of covid wave and lockdown.
You seriously cannot be this stupid
I have no doubt Taylormade was referring to the traditional method of renewal, a change of government, and he is right, nothing wrong with a bit of renewal.
@Scott – Barnaby needs the money. He’s going nowhere.
Vic,
The fact that the media are running the anti ICAC line after Berejiklian resigned, is also vomit inducing.

Nor can I. Another one who has that impact on me is rita panahi. Uggh

Is it like drinking cold water after walking in hot sun?
Let’s see what comes out in the hearings – we’ll still get to find out even if the players leave Parliament.
Stuart Ayres will be before ICAC because he was Tourism Minister so responsible for the grant given to the shooting range. He claims he rejected it on his Department’s advice – but this decision was later overturned. Let’s wait and see what the evidence says.

Good federal campaign for Labor
What is it with the NSW Liberal party leaders at state and federal level during a crisis
C@r
Its pathetic. Just imagine if instead of GladysB, it was AnnaP or DanA or even MarkMc?
No way would the media suggest anything of the sort.
This media is bought and paid for and it is pathetic,
Gotta love daylight saving.
Not yet 7 in WA and it’s all happening …
Ven – Antony means their is precedent where the state Governor can stop parliament sitting if a vacancy due to be filled in a by-election means the government is temporarily vulnerable to a no confidence motion. Once the vacancy is filled, either the government has the numbers again, or it doesn’t because someone else won and now it can genuinely be said to not have the numbers.
Barilaro’s media statement is too small to read 🙂

You are very kind to say that the clock went back to 1950. Actually it went back to 1850 like in “Back to the Future III”. 🙂

They have been bad for years.
But during this pandemic they have been beyond the pale.
Bruz and Gladys ?
Bruz is complaining about the online trolling because of the FJ defamation case. Perhaps the Terrorism squad arrest and resulting footage had something to do with that.
“new blood”
“renewal”
I thought the NSW Government was “Gold Star”
