Redbridge sums it up nicely:

The Labor government has lost some of its working class support to the Liberals, a new poll has shown.

The data from communications research group Redbridge showed that among those with a TAFE, trade or vocational education qualification, support for Labor has fallen to 30 per cent, while support for the Liberal Party is up to 39 per cent.

This shows a 6 per cent decrease in previous results for Labor, with a 10 per cent increase for the Coalition.

Regardless of their education level, Aussies under stress from the cost of living were also less likely to say the government was prioritising the right things.

It ain’t rocket surgery.

A “Labor” government that uses culture wars to cover up making corporations richer and workers poorer is never going to make it.

For that, we have the Coalition.
