“The view from Amy
The main takeaway from the mainstream on the Newspoll is that Labor is at a 10-year low – that it hasn’t been this unpopular (as a government) since Julia Gillard’s government. Which, yes. But also what is happening is that the Coalition is at 18%. It is also at historical lows, it’s vote continues to crater and One Nation is the beneficiary of that.
