This week’s Newspoll, conducted June 23-26 from a sample of 1,513, gave Labor a 51-49 lead, a one-point gain for Labor since the previous Newspoll, three weeks ago. Primary votes were 41% Coalition (steady), 37% Labor (up one), 11% Greens (steady) and 3% One Nation (steady). Figures are from The Poll Bludger.
55% were satisfied with Scott Morrison’s performance (up one), and 41% were dissatisfied (down two), for a net approval of +14, up three points. Anthony Albanese’s net approval increased four points to -5. Morrison led Albanese as better prime minister by 53-33 (53-32 previously).
While Morrison’s net approval was up slightly, this followed a fall of nine points in the previous Newspoll. Analyst Kevin Bonham said Morrison’s current net approval is his second lowest since the COVID situation started last year.

The Tasmanian Government is committed to ensuring that workplaces are safe and that workers return home to their family and friends safe and well at the end of each day.
Today, Shane Broad once again demonstrated his lack of understanding as to the role of Worksafe Tasmania, which operates independently of Government.
The role of the independent Regulator, as specified under the Work Health and Safety Act 2012, is clear.
Dr Broad clearly doesn’t understand that Tasmania’s independent Work Health and Safety Regulator undertakes compliance monitoring, incident response and education activities, and investigation and enforcement, to ensure safe workplaces throughout Tasmania.
