Polls pointing to clear win for Labor

Federal Labor will govern with a clear majority while the coalition will suffer its worst election result in 80 years, if YouGov’s final poll before the election comes true. YouGov’s modelling points to an 84-seat win for the government, out of 150 lower house seats, to return Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to The Lodge for a second term. The winning party needs 76 seats for a majority. Under this scenario, the coalition will drop to 47 seats – a net loss of 11 – meaning Opposition Leader Peter Dutton will have led his party to its worst seat total since 1946.

But Dutton said Hanson wouldn’t be part of any future coalition government after Saturday’s federal election, if it results in a hung parliament.

Labor’s Albanese pitches certainty

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has laid out his final case for a second term as Opposition Leader Peter Dutton ruled out agreements with right-wing minor parties to claim the top job.

Albanese backs end to spam texts

Banning mass election texts sent to voters’ devices by Clive Palmer’s Trumpet of Patriots party would be a “reasonable thing” to do, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says. But while he backs an end to the spam, Albanese says he is not sure how outlawing the unsolicited texts would fit with election legislation. “I wish that were the case (that the messages would be banned).
