AustraliaPerthNow‘Football or politics’: Labor MP hopes for Roosters-style comeback after poll plunge
Anthony Albanese has hit his worst-ever approval rating, dropping 10 points to minus 27, after last week's interest rate rise hit Labor's polling hard.
A Labor MP has turned to the Roosters for inspiration after a horror poll for the Albanese government on the back of last week’s rate hike.
A new poll shows Albanese's net favourability fell 10 points to minus 27 per cent following last week's rate hike, his worst result on record.
One Nation has overtaken Labor as the most popular party with 29 per cent of the primary vote, while Labor slipped one point to 28 per cent.
Labor MP Julie-Ann Campbell drew on the Roosters' NRL grand final comeback to argue the government can still turn things around by focusing on cost-of-living relief.
