Sky News has the first in what promises to be fortnightly polling series by YouGov, and its report includes a display with a useful range of breakdowns. Interestingly, it also has a chart showing results from three previous polls going back to November, none of which were published to my knowledge. The latest result has Labor on 31%, up one on a poll conducted shortly before Christmas; One Nation on 25%, up five; the “former Coalition parties” on 20%, down four; and the Greens on 12%, down one. The page also features video from Paul Murray Live which shows a Labor two-party lead of 55-45 over the Coalition and 57-43 over One Nation. Anthony Albanese is on 39% approval and 55% disapproval and holds a 47-29 lead on preferred prime minister over Sussan Ley, who is on 26% approval and 57% disapproval. The poll was conducted last Tuesday through to Monday from a sample of 1500.
The YouGov results are all but precisely matched in a new poll from DemosAU for Capital Brief, which has Labor on 30%, up one on a poll earlier in the month; One Nation on 24%, up one; what I will continue to refer to as the Coalition on 21%, down two; and the Greens on 13%, up one. The accompanying report has extensive breakdowns, most tellingly in relation to current voting intention by vote at last year’s election. A three-way preferred prime minister question has Anthony Albanese on 39%, Pauline Hanson on 26% and Sussan Ley on 16%. Albanese is viewed positively by 27% (down two), neutrally by 32% (up two) and negatively by 41% (steady); Sussan Ley positively by 15% (down two), neutrally by 52% (down three) and negatively by 33% (up five). Hanson scores 35% positive, 25% neutral and 40% negative. A seat projection has Labor in a range from 87 to 95, One Nation from 29 to 38, and the Coalition from 10 to 22. The poll was conducted January 13 to 21 from a sample of 1933. The pollster also has an explanatory note on its approach to the problem of two-party preferred with a Coalition fracturing and running third.
Roy Morgan has a third successive weekly result, though I’m told this will not necessarily be a consistent arrangement. It has Labor up two points to 30.5%, the former Coalition parties down one-and-a-half to 22.5% (breaking them out for the first time to Liberal 20% and Nationals 2.5%, which presumably means it folds Queensland’s Liberal National Party into the Liberal vote), One Nation up one-and-a-half to 22.5% and the Greens down half to 13%. Labor leads 56.5-43.5 on respondent-allocated preferences, out from 53.5-46.5, and 54.5-45.5 on previous election preferences, out from 53-47. The poll was conducted last Monday to Sunday from a sample of 1653.
The Guardian also brings us voting intention results from Essential Research, which will presumably have a full report later today. It has Labor on 31%, down three on last month’s result, which was conducted a week before the Bondi shootings; the Liberals and Nationals on 25%, down one; One Nation on 22%, up five; and the Greens on 9%, down one. Anthony Albanese is down four on approval to 39% and up eight on disapproval to 55%, while Sussan Ley is down four to 30% and up four to 47%. Albanese is deemed to have handled Bondi well by 36% and not well by 55%. The poll was conducted last Tuesday to Friday from a sample of 1022.
Nine Newspapers also reports last week’s Resolve Strategic poll found an ongoing decline in support for changing the date of Australia Day, with 68% now opposed and 16% in favour, down from 61% and 24% last year and 47% and 39% in 2023. A Freshwater Strategy poll found 70% support for January 26, with only 12% opposed.

Mark Carney Rejects Suggestions That He Walked Back His Davos Speech to Trump
Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada dismissed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s suggestion that he had retracted his assertion that President Trump had created an irrevocable “rupture” to the world order.
The Canadian leader spoke to reporters in Ottawa on Tuesday, the day after Mr. Bessent said on Fox News that he was in the Oval Office while Mr. Carney “was very aggressively walking back some of the unfortunate remarks” he had made at the World Economic Forum in Davos during a telephone call with Mr. Trump.
In that speech, Mr. Carney, though he did not specifically name Mr. Trump was clear in his intent, calling on the world’s middle powers to stop accommodating the United States just “to go along to get along,” and to instead band together to counter its political and economic power.
Asked on Tuesday if he had rescinded any of his remarks while speaking with Mr. Trump, Mr. Carney said “No.”
“To be absolutely clear, and I said this to the president, I meant what I said in Davos,” Mr. Carney told reporters, referring to the Swiss ski resort town where the gathering of billionaires, investors, executives and politicians was held last week.

There is a clue here for how 2 PP vote might be interpreted..
SMH
The split means the Nationals will lose staff and resources and take a pay cut as they are no longer part of the official opposition, although Littleproud plans to appeal to the prime minister to keep up his party’s funds.
Littleproud is correct in fearing obliteration due to being treated the same as the Greens & ON.. Albo can’t fund ALL parties as if they are The Opposition..
Correct interpretation of 2 PP in latest Morgan Poll should be ALP / Green 80% the rest 20%

============================
Do the Nationals hold anything like a BOP in the senate in any circumstances? If so, a bit of BOP blackmail might do the trick.
The $64 question is whether Labor will lose the outer burbs.
If that, it is all over red rover and we will see a fan girl of deranged donnie @13 as our next prime minister.
The combined ON and Coalition primary is now close to 50% meaning that even if Labor win the next election, they will be able to pass nothing in the Senate and therefore no legislation will be able to get through. They will lose the following election in a landslide.
Goodbye to a long list of seats as they lose all the outer suburbs to One Nation.
Pauline has higher net approval than both Albanese and Ley.
The Left are deluding themselves from the reality that immigration is not a positive for Australia and that perceived climate change is a vote winner for them.

Opposition Leader Sussan Ley’s leadership challengers are set to meet on Wednesday ahead of a potential spill at next Tuesday’s Liberal party room meeting.
Shadow defence minister Angus Taylor and Liberal backbencher Andrew Hastie will meet in Melbourne ahead of the funeral for former Liberal MP Katie Allen on Thursday.
Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said a source had flagged the meeting would take place before a spill which could take place at the “first available opportunity”.

——————————————————————————–
That’s the beauty of the bureaucracy-speak that Carney used in his speech: all that third-person passive voice stuff now allows him to claim that the speech was consistent with just about any position he now chooses to take towards the US.
As I tried to explain at the time, Carney’s speech had a huge impact in terms of what people believed that they heard him saying at the time. But if one listened to it carefully the speech itself was deliberately ambiguous in its wording: it talked about all sorts of emerging threats to middle power democracies, but didn’t name them up. So now Carney can say to Trump something like “I wasn’t mainly talking about the US.”
I so despise bureaucratic doublespeak.

I guess the Libs pushing for this change have absolutely no idea how bad this ganging up on a woman looks. And Hastie and Taylor are both such gumbies. I can’t see how this ends well. Unless Labor starts engaging in R-G-R type nonsense again: and surely they aren’t going to do that.

Juan Zenos – a strange gift from god?
James Massola is back from leave, and appears to have cleansed his mind of the ‘Albo Must Go’ diatribes he was blurting out beforehand.
Now he is being fed his ‘Get LittleProud’ lines by the Liberal Moderates.. who seem to be luxuriating in the opportunity to no longer have the Nationals tail wagging the Liberal dog.
And no joint Senate ticket will be disastrous for Nats.
Ley is working towards naming a Liberals-only shadow frontbench by the end of this week, while Littleproud is planning to do the same for the Nationals.
The split means the Nationals will lose staff and resources and take a pay cut as they are no longer part of the official opposition, although Littleproud plans to appeal to the prime minister to keep up his party’s funds.
Former Liberal MP and party official Jason Falinski, who is widely expected to run for his former seat of Mackellar at the next election, gave a blunt assessment of McKenzie and Cadell’s chances of remaining in parliament.
“Bridget McKenzie and Ross Cadell will not hold their seats and from the Liberal Party’s point of view, we have two excellent
senators in Dave Sharma and Maria Kovacic who are doing excellent jobs. We had the tough task of deciding which one we like the most
but now they can be in position one and two,” he said, adding the final seat would probably be a contest between One Nation’s Barnaby Joyce and the Liberals.
“The Nats aren’t even in with a look.”
….
Earlier on Monday, Liberal MP Tim Wilson compared Littleproud’s decision to quit the Coalition to Barnaby Joyce’s drunken night on a Canberra footpath two years ago, saying the Nationals leader had fallen flat as moderate Liberals say they’d be better off without the rural party.
Asked if the Coalition could reform with Littleproud as leader of the Nationals, Wilson said this was ultimately up to the National Party, “but it’s very hard to see”.

BW: “The $64 question is whether Labor will lose the outer burbs.
If that, it is all over red rover and we will see a fan girl of deranged donnie @13 as our next prime minister.”
——————————————————————————-
Given that the far right can’t hope ever to win the Teal seats, Labor would have to lose a s__tload of outer suburban seats in both Sydney and Melbourne, plus everything in the Hunter Valley. Outer Melbourne would be particularly tough for the political right: there are a lot of South Asian and/or Muslim voters in those areas.
The next non-Labor government will be the Coalition (or some new version thereof) with their time-honoured (or is it timeworn) strategy of promoting themselves as strong economic managers in the cities and as the best friends of the bush in the rural and regional areas. And perhaps just a little brand differentiation on some social issues (eg, transgender) and migration in terms of overall numbers and border control (but not open racism).
If Labor doesn’t shoot itself in the foot, the voters will tolerate it for up to five terms, but then start looking at the Opposition. But, if the Opposition is dominated by racists, they won’t look at it for very long.

I agree with Canavan, here:
It’s a bit odd this surge in support for ON. They’ve been around for yonks and done jackshit.
Looks like the polls are all showing roughly the same thing
Labor around 30
One Nation low 20’s
Former coalition just behind them in low 20’s as well (Liberals sub 20, Nats 2-3)
Greens 12ish (Essential always has them lower – approaching 30 with under 35’s!)
Which leaves Others just over 10?
Noting others no longer contains One Nation so is likely very Teal / Community Independent / Independent
We live in interesting times
Re the Senate, the left right split will likely stay much the same with One Nation winning Liberal / National seats.
At the risk of being called a One Nation supporter, it would be good if house prices fell. I rent, but it’s about the bigger picture not me personally
SL: “Juan Zenos – a strange gift from god?”

I suspect that this particular poster might be very centred. So to speak.

SL: “It’s a bit odd this surge in support for ON. They’ve been around for yonks and done jackshit.”
I suspect that there are many right-leaning voters at the moment who see “jackshit” as being superior to what the Coalition has been doing lately.
That’s why I think the Coalition is making a big mistake in believing that its support base has suddenly veered way to the right. It’s not that: their supporters are just pissed off with them. It’s a protest “vote”, and there’s nothing new about that.
Missed the new thread 🙁
It’s time for the Teals/Climate 200 to party up. Party! Party! Party!
The Liberals have been around for even longer than ON and done even jacker shit.
One Nation has consistently done better in polls than in actual elections.
For example, 8-10% in the leadup to the last election, actual result 6.4%.

If the ON vote in any way reflects polling, then Barnaby Joyce is the greatest retail politician since Billy Hughes 🙂

EU-India Trade deal
What does the EU get from the deal?
The agreement is expected to see EU exports to India double by 2032.
EU exporters will see Indian tariffs currently levied on 30 per cent of goods immediately removed.
Tariffs will also be eliminated or reduced altogether for more than 96 per cent of traded goods by value, saving European companies some 4 billion euros ($6.87 billion) a year, the EU said.
“This agreement will bring major opportunities for the people of India and Europe,” India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a virtual address to an energy conference.
What does India get from the deal?
Indian marine, leather, textile, chemical, rubber, base metals, gems and jewellery will face no import taxes in the EU.
EU tariffs on 99.5 per cent of Indian goods will be cut over seven years, with 93 per cent of goods facing no duty within the same time frame.
India will be allowed to continue levying some tariffs on European cars and agricultural products.
Indian leather manufacturers will have easier access to the EU under the new pact.
New Delhi has excluded dairy products such as milk and cheese from the deal, along with cereals, citing “domestic sensitivities” about those products.
The EU will also not allow concessional tariffs on imports of Indian sugar, meat, poultry and beef products, officials at Indian Trade Ministry said.
India and the EU have also agreed on a framework agreement for deeper defence and security cooperation.
They also signed a separate pact aimed at easing mobility for skilled workers and students, a move that could create a significant number of jobs in both economies.

Current polling suggests that it is the Nationals that are in major trouble. The ON vote is surging in the non-urban areas. It is also surging in past-Coalition voters. The Labor polling is steady as she goes.
The Liberal and National parties clearly do not follow European politics. If they did they would have realised that whenever ‘mainstream’ rightwing parties try to ape their far right competitors all it does is boost those other parties and legitimise their grievance politics in the eyes of the mainstream party voters. And then come election time those voters often choose to go with the party who have always backed those positions rather than the traditional party which then seems like only a mimic. Hence the rise of parties like AfD in Germany, National Rally in France. and Reform in the UK. In the UK the Conservative Party could well have sown the seeds of its own demise, especially from Brexit onwards.
I think the Liberals should definitely ‘freeze out’ the Nationals – to sack Ley now would show Australians that “Mister 3.8%” is calling the shots, which would harm the Liberals even more. Then the Nationals, having spent much of the last three decades aping One Nation, will suddenly find that they have won their arguments and totally convinced their voters to vote for the ‘original’ One Nation rather than the cheap imitation on offer from the Nationals. Well deserved.
Has the Coalition officially been dissolved?
It’s time for a 2pp Labor v ON poll
That could be a bit ugly.
What is the ON policy on Child Care? A platform can’t all be about guns and migrants.
Has any journalist asked?

There is no way on current polling that the right get blocking numbers in Senate after next election. In 2025 Labor won 3 in SA and VIC plus Jaquie Lambie in Tas. LNP plus ON only got 2 of 6 in each of those states. That carries over.
For LNP plus ON to get to blocking numbers in Senate after 2028 they need to win 4 seats in 3 states plus get 1 in ACT.
In Senate there will be various other right groups siphoning off some votes that may not return.
That’s not to say it can’t happen but needs further shift to achieve.
And if the right get 4 anywhere and 50% of seats elsewhere that sets up a real blocking likelihood after 2031.
And stupid comments saying that ON and LNP are equally bad is a leg-up for ON which should be avoided at all costs.

————————————
Well Albanese is a do nothing prime minister and people will get sick of his complete inaction on real issues. Has a huge majority but is scared as anything to do anything about house prices other then make them go higher and higher.
Refuses to do anything about electricity prices other then throw tens of billions of taxpayers money on short term solutions.
Interest rates expected to start rising again.
There are huge problems in Australia but all Albanese and Labor are doing is cracking down on freedoms. Freedom of Information law changes to make it harder to people find out information about what the federal government is doing. Cracking down on freedom of speech. Wanting Labor to be the ones who can ban information they disagree with.
The only fights he can pick is essentially bullying as he stomps on the heads of minorities that wield little political sway.
One Nation will eat up Labor so that only the paid up labor true believers will be the only ones left voting for them.
Before JJ eat.al. Gets carried away with the spectre of “Labor losing the outer suburbs”, they should name the ‘outer suburban’ seats that are genuinely ‘at risk’.
In NSW I can only think of three Labor held seats where ON may scarp into the final 2PP count: Hunter, Paterson and Whitlam. None actually qualify as ‘outer suburban’ seats. Any others?
Interesting times in commercial radio. Some reports from industry websites suggest Craig Hutchinson’s Sports Entertainment Group is close to a deal involving the sale of Nine Entertainment’s Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane radio stations which includes right wing ‘shoutback’ stations 3AW and 2GB.
The sale price is a bargain bin $28m way down from the initial $50m price tag.
3AW have been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons including long term staff retrenchments (not surprising regarding one individual who regularly editorialised when reading the news) and organisational restructures.
Based on past history, anyone elected on the ON ticket will defect within a few months, thereafter becoming a swinging crossbencher. Labor has a good history of being able to work with a balance-of-power crossbench.
HH
Scott, if you are a round, as Griff said a few days ago, you are remarkably prescient. Looks like Ley will last until next Tuesday, 2nd February!
The Liberals should just let the Nationals stew until they come back cap in hand. The 3.8 percenters need the Liberals much more than the Liberals need them.
Does any of this mean a split for the LNP in Queensland?
If not how will federal funding/staffing be apportioned to the Nats as a separate party?
