Ipsos poll: Support for Labor falls after clash over refugees and border security

Not fake ?

Bored 😐 You’re boring. How many times must we debate this as a political divide ? ....I know, let’s make the entire century about borders, it can go on forever 🎉 PS. my cat won’t wee on in her litter box nowadays.

Then the public are more stupid than I give them credit for. There is nothing in medevac that will weaken our borders. Hear me. Nothing.

The troops are not happy with the Labour Party!

i think any advantage scummo had is slowly being destroyed as the lnp are being exposed!!

Bullshit

Bill Shorten had splattered so much BS over the place, they even those followers with double digit IQs are beginning to join the dots up.

Labour Greens scamming uncovered. Aussies wake up

Is this an advertisement?

There you go Fairfax, Aussie citizens don't like the idea of fake reffos jumping queues. You can tell that to you lefty mates at ALP headquarters.

Please be accurate the government have been incendiary and deliberately misleading to stoke fear if prepared to go to these lengths what else are they prepared to misrepresent for political advantage?

We can all see how 'popular' border security is on America, I'm sure that rhetoric will work here just fine.

Rubbish in Rubbish out next you will be telling us thousands of refugees are heading here by boat because we are finally treating people on compassion.

Why aren’t you reporting on the Paladinaffair?

If it’s correct then it’s a sad reflection on this country

IPSOS poll = Murdoch. The Age has crumbled from Fairfax journalism to 9 Network Liberal rag. I’m sad at losing good journalism, guess The Age won’t be sad I’m pulling my subscription. I’ve witnessed a great newspaper die.

In your dreams...

Labor win, boats people in.

got laugh at these polls, i know many people who do them and do them often under different names

Thanks Dr Phelps and Malcolm Turnbull for new poll results. LOL auspol ABCNews

Yeah but

No doubt.

More bullshit.

REALLY? Let’s do the maths. One economic faux refugee costs = $70,000PA to Aus Taxpayers. Labor have openly said they will accept another 50,000 of them at $70,000 per annum ANSWER = $3.5 Billion PA What about supporting our PENSIONERS who exist on appx $18,000 PA auspol

EXCLUSIVE ? CONTRIVED more like 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And they haven’t really started attacking the tax credit issue yet. Wait until that heats up! 😃

Who did they ask? This 'poll' is bullshit. The best poll is that which is reflected in the posts online in social media where the young are swapping ideas and experiences outside anything the mainstream media (which now fails to be mainstream) has the capacity to do.

AustralianLabor LABOR Weaken our borders at your peril Labor labor_trash LaborFAIL PutLaborLast

HOORAY !! 😎

This is certainly great news. BowenChris is missing. I hope he is not on the phones counting the numbers to roll Shorten. We are all having fun watching Bill squirm. Maybe he should talk to the people more than the weak soy latte coffee set.

Ooh Bill's wifey wont be happy, she'll put him in the dog-house!

Border protection should be outsourced overseas.

Was poll taken in CoalMo's church hall

Starting to head down the Trump road, illegal boat immigrants the saviour of LNP

Biased bullshit. The Age is a right wing mouthpiece.

Said the newspaper owned by a mining magnate

Which means we are in for 3 months of dog whistling, racism and probably 3 more years of this cruel government. New Zealand is looking better and better.

EXCLUSIVE: Majority of Australians agree with the border protection policies of the coalition. Full stop. End of story.

BackupRequired Greens and Labor just took 300 from living free on Nauru to being jailed on Christmas Island. Di Natale and Shorten must go.

If you think a poll will decide an election then you cunts are more stupid than I thought. Speak to people on the ground, climate, low wages, bankers getting a leave pass, etc is what the punters want fixed. What till Palaidin hits estimates this week it will blow the Fiberals up

Liberal, Labor....you really have lost touch with the Australian population. At the next election, I’m voting independent...I’ve lost confidence in both major parties and an over your school boy antics Auspol

. I am one of them I was going to vote for Bill Shorten and now I most likely will change, I heard interview with a bloke on Manis island that had sore eyes needing eye drops said he hoped to go to Aust for treatment and to re settle .. Yet neighbour cant get his mum here!

WallaceDeano Labor problems: Border security Super Economics Toxic compulsive liar as leader Cavalcade of losers on front bench Coalitions to win now. ScottMorrisonMP

Must've only polled far north Qld

Meh sharp fall is overstating at. Other recent polls have had Labor at 52 so a drop to 51/49 is hardly shocking. If next one is 50/50 then we’ve got a narrative.

I repeat, so-called border protection is the LNP's best, and probably only, way to beat Labor at the next election, and it knows it. As long as the LNP continues to control the debate, the better their chances. Wake up, Bill Shorten, or we will all lose.

A post-merger recruit journalist?

So you commission a poll (love to see the Q’s) to generate a story that you then label exclusive. What a beat up. Can we have a story about the Palaidin Contract? Now I’d legit buy a copy of the age to read all about that...

Really

Unbalanced opinion piece.

Bill is shifty Labor is just as divided to lefts n rights The left wanted to double refugee intake &scrap TPV We'd spend more funding refugee gravy trains Endless refugee appeals in court At every Labor conf d lefts r dominant

Both parties bad as each other how can you vote for either party when neither of them did anything about the electoral tampering by Vic labor party. Not one fine one sacking, crooks the both of them.

Still enough of a margin to turf Morrison out on his ear though :)

Don’t worry

Shouldn't this be marked opinion/analysis?

Welcome to Australia- land of the rednecks and the ignorant. We are blessed but such a strange country to figure out. Curse you Trump for giving others a ‘platform’ to follow. Ignorance, Division and Non-Empathy are not the values that a great nation will be built on... politics

All the lefties getting mad now! Hahahahahha

I'm so sick of the stupidity of my fellow voters... How can 49% support this corrupt, incompetent disgrace of a government....

Incendiary? Fairfax getting to be more News-lite everyday. Thanks Peter!

No wonder Fairfax got rid of all their good journalist. They would not have written this sort of rubbish.

Seems the only newspaper media now tending more to the sensible centre is Guardian since Nines publications move to the right after the buy out.

They are all getting sucked in by this propaganda!!!

What a load of garbage. It was Rudd who put a stop to illegal people smuggling in Indonesia boats.

People are idiots

Thanks to you and your move to the right.

Coalition playing politics over border security: Labor | Sky News AustraliaLabor frontbencher Andrew Leigh says the government is running a ‘fear campaign’ over border security as parliament resumes this week.\n\nThe lower house is preparing to debate a bill first brought forward by Wentworth MP Kerryn Phelps, which gives doctors greater discretion to transfer sick refugees and asylum seekers to Australia from offshore detention camps.\n\nLabor leader Bill Shorten will receive an ASIO briefing on the legislation, with security agencies allegedly warning that the legislation could result in over one thousand refugees and asylum seekers transferred to Australia from offshore camps.\n\nMr Leigh says Labor is ‘open to a middle way’ that maintains Australia’s border security but allows sick asylum seekers and refugees to secure the medical treatment they need.\n\n\n\n ALeighMP ALeighMP Fear and division is all the LNP have. No policies No principles No majority No authority No direction No idea In a 100 days or less we vote them out. ALeighMP Did someone say? MEDISCARE! E D I S C A R E . It's real though!

Labor, coalition at odds over changes to asylum seeker lawThe federal government is gearing up for a possible surge in people smuggling but Labor says changes to asylum seeker laws are both fair and secure. The LNP are gearing up to let some boats through. A variation of a false flag attack. I bet we get that as well.

Decision on medivac bill to be announced Tuesday | Sky News AustraliaA decision is expected to be announced on Tuesday on whether Labor will support the controversial medivac bill that gives doctors greater powers to transfer refugees to Australia. \n\nBill Shorten's Labor Party is under pressure to abandon its support of the bill amid official advice that suggests up to one thousand refugees could arrive in Australia within weeks. \n\nLabor has spoken about the importance of ministerial discretion, indicating it may support the relevant minister having veto powers on all medical transfers.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n Oh boy - they had better NOT! They will be tied to the Greens and the Greens haven't got a grey cell between them. A leader who calls himself a Doctor, when he isn't registered, a woman who takes her sick child out of school then takes her (tax payer paid) to whale watching. Why did the Labor party get 2 x donations from the ATO? Donations are not rebates!!! You know he's going to bail on it. He has no choice. Even if he wanted to he won't because he'll do anything for votes. He's gutless and always has been. I bet he wishes the election was a month ago. Slowly but surely the wheels are turning against this fraud. He's done.

Government picking a fight on medivac bill: Labor | Sky News AustraliaShadow Minister for Employment Brendan O’Connor has called on the government to work with Labor to find a compromise on the medical evacuation bill before parliament.\n\nOpposition leader Bill Shorten will negotiate with crossbenchers today to pass three amendments to Independent MP Kerryn Phelps’ bill.\n\nChanges include giving the Home Affairs Minister greater discretion to refuse medical transfers for sick asylum seekers, making the timeframe for transfer decisions less restrictive and limiting the changes to people housed on Manus Island and Nauru.\n\nThe Coalition has indicated it will not support the Phelps bill, meaning Labor will need the support of six of the seven crossbenchers to pass the bill.\n\nMr O’Connor says the Coalition is ‘fighting for its life’ and more concerned with ‘picking a fight’ than working to find a compromise. \n\n Do what? Whats wrong with the existing border laws? Seems Labor only interested in selling out Australia and watering down current border laws auspol skynews LaborFail Why?

Labor to fight federal election on ‘battleground of the enemy’ | Sky News AustraliaFIVEaa Radio presenter Jeremy Cordeaux says Labor leader Bill Shorten is trying to fight the upcoming federal election on the ‘battleground of the enemy’ after the controversial medivac bill passed the House of Reporesentatives.\n\nCo-panellist and 2GB presenter Ben Fordham says that Labor has given the Coalition what they ‘always wanted’ in passing the bill, an election fight based on debating border protection.\n\nMr Fordham says the ‘cigarette paper of difference’ between the Liberal and Labor parties is no longer.\n\n\n\n\n Who the fuck is this Wally? Bill Shorten has failed the people’s will of Australia under the Constitution. Look at those traitors in the picture. Short term narcissistic behaviour at our financial and cultural cost. They live in garrisoned manors, sipping their expensive wine in designer clothes whilst you and I pay through ever ascending taxes the cost of supporting their vanities.
