Don’t look now but the ALP’s Kingslayer is in the brown:
In early July during the Trade Union Royal Commission Federal L-NP support is up 2.5% to 49% cf. ALP 51% (down 2.5%) after Opposition Leader Bill Shorten fronted the Commission over the past week. Shorten has faced hundreds of questions in the past week about his time with the Australian Workers Union (AWU); if a Federal Election were held now the result would be too close to call.
Primary support for the L-NP is up 2.5% to 41.5% now clearly ahead of the ALP 34.5% (down 1.5%) – the lowest level of ALP support for over a year since April 2014. Support for other parties shows the Greens at 13.5% (down 0.5%), Palmer United Party 1% (down 0.5%), Katter’s Australian Party 1.5% (up 0.5%), while Independents/ Others were 8% (down 0.5%).
