## Summary

One Nation retained its lead over Labor in the latest Newspoll, as Labor’s primary support fell two points to 26 per cent, matching its lowest result in the poll’s history. The figures point to growing voter dissatisfaction as Australia faces a worsening cost-of-living crisis and an expected interest rate rise.

One Nation held at 28 per cent, while the Coalition rose to 21 per cent, the Greens stood at 13 per cent and other parties at 11 per cent. Pauline Hanson’s net approval improved from minus-9 to minus-1, despite criticism of cartoons published by her party; Anthony Albanese’s was minus-23. Albanese remained preferred prime minister on 44 per cent, ahead of Hanson on 30 per cent and Coalition leader Angus Taylor on 26 per cent.
