Newspoll: 54-46 to Labor (open thread)

Anthony Albanese’s personal ratings continue to fall steadily to earth, but the latest Newspoll registers very strong support for the government’s proposed super reforms.

The Australian reports the first Newspoll in four weeks has Labor leading 54-46, in from 55-45 last time. The primary votes are Labor 37% (down one), Coalition 35% (up one), Greens 10% (down one) and One Nation 7% (up one). Anthony Albanese’s approval rating is down two to 55% and his disapproval is up five to 38%, and his lead on preferred prime minister is in from 56-26 to 54-28. We are told that Peter Dutton’s net rating is at minus 11 – he was at 36% approval and 46% disapproval last time (UPDATE: Now 37% approval and 48% disapproval).

The poll also finds very strong support for the proposed changes to taxation of superannuation, which the question goes to some lengths to explain. Sixty-four per cent registered support for the idea, with only 29% opposed, with breakdowns viewable here finding the proposal seemingly scoring well with every constituency other than journalists.

The poll was conducted Wednesday to Saturday from a sample of 1530.

    Calling out fascists is not antisemitic.’

    No-one is saying that calling out fascists is antisemitic.

    Systematically prioritizing Israel for such criticism over countries with similar issues would need an explanation.

    “All of those delightful aboriginal stories are better, in my profoundly biased opinion, to the utterly ridiculous idea that a nasty, vengeful, vicious, genocidal, ‘loving’ super sky fairy created the whole lot in ‘seven days’, a goodly proportion of which effort ‘he’ accomplished before ‘he’ had even created days. This is the version that Hume and Morrison, and all other fundamentalist ratbags state is the absolute, incontrovertible truth. Fuckwits all, and seriously dangerous fuckwits, at that.!

    Thanks Boer:
    How easy it is to forget about all those up-risings throughout our lifetime.
    Let us also not forget closer to home that similar struggles occurred.
    Let us not forget the National Party Premier Joh years in QLD when QLD was known as the POLICE STATE where street marches were banned and a STATE of EMERGENCY was called by Joh so there would be no marches on the streets to protest against the Springbok tour in Brisbane.
    Ironically, one of those who tried to march and protest was a young man called Peter Beattie who was struck by a police baton and arrested and was also verballed by police.

    Does anybody know what happened to that protester called Peter Beattie?

    If there really was a god surely he/she/it could have created everything in SEVEN MILLI-SECONDS, NOT seven days.
    SUPERMAN could have made it all in seven days.

    HELLO !

    The CCP needs to be careful what they wish for…bans on females in underwear ads have had a modern response that (imo) probably has been a boon for gay guys.

    Just heard that the MAD HATTER has said he doesn’t want any of those three guys dressed in women’s lingerie to settle in his GAY FREE North QLD electorate.
