The Financial Review yesterday had a poll of New South Wales state voting intention from Freshwater Strategy, which according to The Australian has been founded by four recently departed directors from CT Group, the famed Liberal-aligned pollster associated with Lynton Crosby and Mark Textor.
The poll credits Labor with a two-party lead of 54-46 after exclusion of the undecided. A more detailed two-party result has Labor on 47%, the Coalition on 40%, “would not place either” on 8% (as voters can do under the state’s optional preferential voting system) and “firmly undecided” on 6%. The primary votes are Coalition 36%, Labor 37%, Greens 11%, independents 5%, Shooters 1% and others 11%.
Dominic Perrotet was credited with an approval rating of 37% and a disapproval rating of 35%, with 20% opting for a response of neutral, while Labor’s Chris Minns was on 26% approval, 15% disapproval and 24% neutral. A preferred premier question had Minns leading 41-38. Respondents were also asked about the federal leaders, with results of 50% approval, 26% disapproval and 21% neutral for Anthony Albanese and 33% approval, 34% disapproval and 25% neutral for Peter Dutton. The poll was conducted Thursday to Sunday from a sample of 1042.
Two election related bills have just passed State Parliament and awaiting assent.

Poor planning on energy transition and this is the end result.
And Russia starting a war and cutting off their energy supply has nothing to do with it. It’s all those dastardly renewables.

Don’t try to verbal me again cobber – you tried it last night and made a fool of yourself.

the mihayliuk story did not last long desbite the medias efforts wonder what happend to tray williams aligations of ceruption in the liberal partty or the fights betwen elliot and kean egged on buy 2gb
@ Aaron.. yes. More relevant are current Scandals and sacked ministers rather than events alleged to have happened approx 10 years ago
Rats leaving the sinking ship…
David Elliott to quit: ‘I won’t knife a mate’
Veteran Liberal MP and Transport Minister David Elliott has announced he will quit state politics to avoid a messy preselection battle that would force him to ‘knife a mate’.
In the DT
I suppose the Libs won’t be too sad about Elliott going?
soso transport minister david elliot going out of politics for uselis back bencher Rayy williams is not a good look only notable contrabution he has made as allex hawkes right hand man in state parliament along with upper house mps mclaron jones and farlow it seems the hawke morrison faction will back facelis meen over a senyor minister hower im sure the cabenit is glad theloose unit is retiring hawke must still run his faction wonder if right will chalinge williams again now perrotit can appoint his right hand man damian tuderhope to transport
yes i dont think the libbs will be to sad but the media using natulie ward to damage matt kean is interesting the bad report alix smith says ward needs a lower house seat to save herc corear to insure her future how ever the slight problim that she forget to inform us of is ward has four years left on her upper house spot wonder if hazard will go and lynch from labor
@Aaron Lynch is not quitting. It’s all he’s got. Anyway I think his nomination is done already.
@Aaron what’s the deal with Alex Smith from the Herald? Seems to run with Liberal talking pieces and analysis of internal Liberal issues often.
Great news re Elliott. He can F off back to the AHA or Clubs NSW.
Fake tough guy who let the train Union throwback monster him. All it took was a go at the Union money in the Fed Court and the Union retreats.
yes agree elliot claimed to be a tough guy but whenn given somthing harder then just talking about crime gave the rale union went on strike he bent over back wards to give them evrything then when they did not honer they deal hhe went on a rant and blamed perottit and his alies for taking away his authority not even allex hawke and morrison could save him ein stead keeping ray williams
he had a swipe at hiis centre right faction lead buy hawke ore finding ray williams a seat but not him as the right will get carselhill i think most people are glad his going
Hazzard leaving Wakehurst.
Hazard going. Quite a few Ministers now. Is this a good or bad thing for Perrottet?
well ranslide elliott is a good thing but all these ministers going just seems to prove thegovernment is headed foor defeat if the liberals thought they could win theyonly option for them in opposition is matt kean taking over hazard and stokes were acspected but elliot was a factional deal allex hawke his factrion leader chose to save ray williams
can any one explain whiy allex hawke is throwing his support behind Ray williams to stay in parliament but not david elliott i know he was a ddisaster but it seems strange a senyor minister will be dumpt in faver of a back bencher sacked from cabenit buy gladys in 2019 maybi his mor loil to hawke then elliott reminds me of thefowler move
its not a good look for perottet with all his ministers going how ever not convinced buy his and keans links that they wanted to save elliott and perottet had a fight with his faction i think was a excuse to attack there factional rival alex hawke for saving ray williams williams acused the right of ceruption earlier this year and is close to hawke
no mp in the hawke group in state politicks have actualy payed tribute to elliott which maybi the morrison faction were as sick of him as evry one else in his cabenit was
Wakehurst minus a Hazzard could be a teal target
yes wakehurst could now be a teel targit as could pitwater with stokes ggone would not be suprised if it a solid labor victory suprised no one in david elliots faction actualy wished him well
elliott is going to be triying to distroy the government up until election day hill be leaking against perrottet and kean
ironick elliott is attacking noel mccoy over abortion because it was elliotts faction under morrison who gave us cathryn deaes hopeing he could exploit trans gender and elliott is going because allex hakwe could not find him a safe seat plus 2gb atempted to use the abortion debate to bring down gladys which failed with some of morrison faction involved scott farlow
maybi this is ongoing from the 2009 split when hawke left his hard right faction and formed the centre right with morrison and elliott and others in nsw state and federal parliament perottit hard right wanted williams gone in 2019 to run for carsilhill now his brother and gfinance minister tuderhope organized numbvers for noel mccoy
