THE AGE today: “Core support for Labor (has risen to) to 42 per cent cutting the Coalition to just 30 per cent since the May election.
Core support translates to first preference votes.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese leads Opposition Leader Peter Dutton by 54 to 19 per cent as preferred prime minister.”
In an article entitled Dutton’s plan for a one-term comeback, Anthony Galloway and James Massola reveal the master strategy. It seems to boil down to Dutton’s belief that the voting public will get sick of the Labour Party and vote for Dutton and his team of discredited losers.
The plan appears to rest on the belief that the public will realise that Dutton is really a nice bloke. It hasn’t happened yet and it probably never will.
