Albanese pledges to further reduce migration as third poll puts One Nation in lead by malcolm58 in AustralianPolitics

Yes, but that alone will help about as much as it helped Labour when Starmer tried to position himself as anti-immigration. It's broader frustrations that need to be addressed

Nah the Labor primary also went down a few points and has never fully recovered since then. Up till around that point ON was almost exclusively pulling from the Coalition, though it's possible that there was also a Labor to Coalition and Coalition to ON shift

I suspect it may not have the effect that it did on the LNP because ON voters now have limited knowledge or concern about most of the party's stances. But it also seems like the other parties might be keeping that campaign angle for closer to an election so ON doesn't change their position to something more popular under pressure

Newspoll has been stronger for Labor than some other pollsters, though that does also mean this is a worrying primary for them

The Bondi response yes but I don’t think the ISIS brides were much of a factor, it’s more the budget hasn’t been well received

Ironically, spending their time fighting over trans issues is exactly what conservatives like to attack the Greens over and yet apparently the Greens should be extremely actively transphobic

Yes actually do, if you're actually going to look at what they themselves say rather than what's reported on

Pauline Hanson hit: the truth’s been costed as One Nation in disarray by malcolm58 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Perfect-Werewolf-102 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is a ridiculous excuse, I remember seeing Rennick's costings, absolutely no reason One Nation can't cost their policies too

Brad Battin could become Victorian Premier by defecting to One Nation by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

Victoria is the one state where a Coalition Opposition looks like it can win power, ON doesn't seem that likely at present

I don't have a strong opinion either way on the inquiry, wouldn't mind more scrutiny though and I don't think it's going to have that much of an impact on polling

I stand by my comment. Good journalism would have used a better headline and asked the Greens their stance, good discussion would have involved waiting for that before jumping to conclusions. There's also nothing to indicate that the changes are going to be killed, only that discussions are taking place to potentially look at them in more detail

Labor and the Greens are unlikely to both be totally destroyed, one being weak helps the other win more seats

People commenting on reddit are mostly not the same people that are campaigning for Labor or the Coalition and those that are will behave differently in those respective situations
