Our Prime Minister is less concerned about what some
may think about him and more about doing what is good and right for this country and all of its people. He's not your average politician. He believes in consultation and negotiation not party loyalty and power. Rare attributes for a politician and ones that perhaps some find difficult to understand - considering the records and behaviour of the parties they belong to and the politicians they support. But Australians will get it right in the end. They did in the last election. Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 16 August 2023 1:51:15 PM

shadow minister,
Compare that to Morrison the year following his election. "The poll of 1,505 voters, conducted between Wednesday and Saturday, found more voters (59%) are dissatisfied with Morrison’s performance than satisfied (37%). Satisfaction in Morrison fell eight points and dissatisfaction increased by 11 points, both movements outside the poll’s margin of error of 2.5%. Just 4% of voters were “uncommitted” when asked how Morrison is performing. Albanese is in positive territory after a six-point increase in satisfaction from 40% to 46% and dissatisfaction falling from 41% to 37%." He leads Morrison as preferred prime minister, 43% to 39%, the first time he has done so since taking the Labor leadership after Bill Shorten’s shock loss at the May 2019 election. http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/jan/13/scott-morrison-suffers-blow-to-personal-approval-rating-in-first-poll-of-2020 Posted by SteeleRedux, Wednesday, 16 August 2023 2:52:40 PM

Watched Lidia Thorpe's address to the National Press Club today, very interesting. She is in a minority of progressives advocating a 'NO' vote, and I understand her reasons, and those of the 'Black Sovereignty' movement for opposing the question, on the grounds of it being noting more a sop to black ambitions. I would agree to a certain extent, but I am pragmatic enough to vote 'YES', believing that it can give some achievable outcomes. Regardless of the result of the referendum many will support the objectives of 'Black Sovereignty' into the future.

Dud Dutton could be in real trouble at the next election with a margin of only 1.7% the Dud had to rely on far right preferences to get returned in the Qld seat of Dixon at the last election. Now the electorate has realised what a fool this bloke is they may decide to a-hole him completely next time around.

Dear Paul,
Well Dutton has certainly lost my vote by his behaviour. Inexcusable what he's doing. He shall go down badly in history. Unfortunately, he's dragging the Party down with him - as are many supporters. The saving grace are the ones who are going against the Party dictates and going according to their conscience to dot do the right thing for the country not an attempted power and leadership grab.

A federal Resolve poll for Nine newspapers, conducted August 9–13 from a sample of 1,603, gave Labor 37% of the primary vote (down two since the July Resolve poll), the Coalition 33% (up three), the Greens 11% (steady), One Nation 5% (down one), the UAP 2% (up one), independents 10% (up one) and others 2% (steady).
Resolve does not give two-party estimates until close to elections, but applying 2022 election preference flows to these primary votes gives Labor about a 56–44 lead, a 2.5-point gain for the Coalition since July. Resolve has easily been Labor’s most favourable pollster since the 2022 election.
Anthony Albanese’s ratings were 44% good and 42% poor, for a net approval of only +2, down 14 points since July. Peter Dutton’s net approval was up two points to -13. Albanese led Dutton by 46–25 as preferred PM, a nine-point narrowing from 51–21 in July.
In a forced choice question on the Indigenous Voice to parliament, “no” led by 54–46 (a 52–48 “no” lead in July). Initial preferences were 45% “no” (up three), 37% “yes” (up one) and 18% undecided (down four).
This is Albanese’s worst net approval, Labor’s lowest primary vote and implied two-party lead and the worst result for “yes” in Resolve polls conducted since the May 2022 election."
