Next federal election could spell ‘dangerous times’ for Labor

Sky News host Caleb Bond says the upcoming federal election could spell “interesting and dangerous times” for the Labor Party after two new polls. In The Australian’s latest Newspoll survey, Peter Dutton is shrinking the gap on the better PM poll – increasing a point to 35 per cent with Anthony Albanese remaining unchanged at 48 per cent. The Sydney Morning Herald’s Resolve Political Monitor found Labor’s primary vote had reduced by two points to 30 per cent while support for the Coalition increased by one point to 36 per cent. “I don’t suspect that they are staring down the barrel of a loss but what they are very much looking at is minority government,” Mr Bond said. “Then you start talking about – well, do we go into power with the Greens? Do we go into power with the Teals?”
