Labor Holds 51-49 TPP Lead as One Nation Tops Primary Vote in Latest Australian Poll

One Nation recorded 31% primary vote support in a Redbridge Group/Accent Research poll published Monday by The Australian Financial Review, four points higher than the previous survey. Labor stood at 28%, three points lower than a month earlier, while the Coalition fell two points to 20%. The Greens dropped one point to 12%, and support for other parties rose two points to 9%.

4%. On a two-party-preferred basis, Labor led One Nation 51% to 49%. Federal aged care minister Sam Rae said every person classified as urgent priority for the Support at Home program now receives funding within one month.

High-priority wait times have fallen to between one and two months, a fortnight shorter than before. Medium-priority cases now wait six to seven months, down from eight to nine months previously. Standard priority aged care cases currently wait seven to eight months, compared with 10 to 11 months in November last year.

The median wait for an aged care assessment remains under one month, and in-hospital assessments continue to take less than one day. “While we know there’s much more to do, these numbers are encouraging signs our methodical work to secure more care for more older Australians than ever is shifting the dial,” Rae said. Free public transport in Victoria ended on Sunday after two months.

Residents remain eligible for 20% off vehicle registration and half-price public transport until the end of the year.
