The Australian reports the three-weekly Newspoll has a tie on two-party preferred, unchanged no last time, from primary votes of Labor 31% (down one), Coalition 38%, Greens 13% (up one) and One Nation 6% (steady). Anthony Albanese is up two on approval to 43% and down three on disapproval to 51%, while Peter Dutton is down two to 37% and steady at 52%. Albanese’s lead as preferred prime minister is at 46-37, compared with 45-37 last time. Nothing yet on sample size and field work dates that I can see (UPDATE: Last Monday to Friday from a sample of 1249).
Nine Newspapers also has the quarterly Resolve Strategic aggregates, which are of interest insofar as they include results for Western Australia and South Australia accumulated over three monthly polls, which unlike the larger states are not published with each monthly poll. In Western Australia, the results have Labor down eight points on the 2022 election to 29% but the Coalition steady on 35%, with the Greens up three to 16%. In South Australia, Labor is down seven to 28%, the Coalition is steady at 36% and the Greens are up one to 14%.
“ But if your voting Green, then Socialist Alliance then the next lefty loon party with the ALP and LNP last then you are in the no hope basket.”
Greens who continually preference Labor are the ones whose ‘hope’ is naive. Greens’ preferences hand Labor government and in return Labor give the Greens scorn and derision, just like their supporters who post here. Labor will not change their arrogant presumption that they will always receive Greens preferences, and actually start to deal with the Greens until this ends. So if the Greens’ voters want this to change, they should preference the Socialist Alliance, and then any left wing party, and then the Animal Justice Party, and then the Legalise Cannabis Party, and then any reasonable independent, and then anyone who is not right wing – until Labor are forced into a minority government. Then and only then will Labor realise their ruling arrogance is not justified by their pathetic 30% first preference vote.
If Greens voters want to change the status quo, they should change the way they vote.
Let’s give the unpropertied classes the vote – boo hiss
Let’s give under 25 the vote – boo hiss
let’s give under 21 the vote – boo hiss
Let’s give women the vote – boo hiss
Let’s give under 18 the vote – boo hiss

There is no reason to think a voting age of 16 would have been anything but favourable to Labor in 1993.
——————–
That shows a 5.4% swing away from labor and 5.7% swing to liberals for 18-24 in 96 from 93.
I’m sure that means something to you, Mexicanbeemer.
They only block inappropriate developments that do nothing for affordability, nothing for community amenity, and are 100 percent focused on enriching property developers – a sector with corrupt influence over Labor and LNP politicians. They’ve made plenty of proposals for public housing projects that they would support.

It might tell us there was a group of under 18s in 93 that were not happy with Keating and the economy but also would see people move up an age bracket.

Nah you are just wrong.
Labor voters on here are strategic voters they put the LNP virtually last. They follow the how to vote card as it get the best outcome for the ALP. Green voters probably less likely to follow the how to vote card if the put the ALP near the bottom.
Many Greens are just pretend greens who want to be seen as a bit special but they are ALP when push comes to shove. Obviously you are of the full loon variety which will only help the conservative cause by scaring normal people away from the ALP if the cosey up to the Greens.
Think Gillard…I mean Abbott one in a landside…imagine if Rudd had not been given back the keys and the Liberals had Malcolm Turnbull, Jesus the ALP would still be recovering. It was not Rudd who saved the furniture for the ALP it was Abbott.
New thread.
