Labor's primary vote drops to 27% as minister focuses on cost-of-living pressures
Labor's primary vote has fallen to 27 per cent in the latest Newspoll, down from 37 per cent a year ago, according to the article. The decline is attributed to the Bondi Beach terrorist attack and unpopular budget tax changes. Tanya Plibersek, a Labor frontbencher, dismissed concerns about the polling results, stating that the government's focus should remain on addressing cost-of-living pressures rather than the declining support numbers. She highlighted Labor's tax cuts, support for higher wages, cheaper medicines, increased bulk billing, and measures to help Australians buy homes as key initiatives. Plibersek emphasized that the government needs to continue delivering practical relief to citizens, ensuring wages grow and taxes are reduced to help people keep more of their earnings. The article also notes that the political pressure is not limited to Labor, with support increasingly fragmented across major and minor parties. One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce downplayed the significance of individual polls, stating that polls are not a vote and that the focus should remain on delivering results. He also mentioned that One Nation would support a cut to the fuel excise to help motorists dealing with higher prices. The latest polling results add to months of volatile polling for major parties as cost-of-living pressures dominate the political debate ahead of the next federal election. The article concludes by noting that Labor's popularity has slumped to near record low, with the latest Newspoll showing a significant drop in support.
