The Australian’s latest Newspoll shows a budget bounce for the Coalition, up to 48 in the two-party preferred numbers, with 52 in favour of Labor.
The result sees the best figures for the government since Scott Morrison became the Prime Minister in August 2018. Campaign Edge’s Dee Madigan says the PM may see the figures as ‘as good as it gets’, and therefore a reason to potentially call the election on Monday.
TroyBramston Newspoll hasn't got it right for years, you people at sky news are completely deluded with your own vomit. They don't even call mobile phones only landlines. Most of my friends don't even have a landline.
TroyBramston Bwahahahahahahahaha Last time when Ipsos was at 51-49 ALP. It was hailed as the greatest with the Beast was stirring. How pathetic you lot are.
TroyBramston I would say troy is a complete dickhead that just says what he is told to say..a man with no integrity and no credibility..a paid actor reading a script he was handed to learn and speak live on tv for all of the people that vote LNP cause they always have to hear.

Shorten and Morrison neck-and-neck over healthcare funding | Sky News AustraliaOpposition leader Bill Shorten has announced he will spend $300 million on new regional cancer treatment centres, if his party is successful at the May federal election. \n\nCancer treatment was the centrepiece of the Labor leader’s Budget reply speech on Thursday night, in which he also committed $2.3 billion for cancer care, including free cancer screenings. \n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison has responded by saying, ‘a lot of the measures he announced overlap with things that are already being done currently’ including $606 million towards diagnostic imaging. \n\nMr Morrison also promised to add to his pledge if any shortfalls were found in the Coalition’s plan. \n\n\n\n\n\n No, they wont. Nothing will save this toxic failed dystopian government - the vast majority tuned them out as white noise in August last year, and have just been waiting to take a baseball bat to them Abbott's right hand man still thinks it has a say?
