I see the polls changing but I’d really like to know what’s going on. Why is Labour popularity increasing? What are the issues?

To add, this is happening against a backdrop of a historic swing against primary votes for the two major parties. That means that, under our preferential voting system increasingly more people are voting third party/independent first, with the two major parties further down the ballot. Labor is still winning enough seats to form majority for now (due to preference flow), but it points to a population increasingly frustrated by the inaction of the legacy parties and increasing polarization.
I wouldn’t necessarily discount Labor having to form minority government. It’s certainly within the polling margin of error for Greens to pick up a couple seats from them, especially in Melbourne.
Fingers crossed they do🤞
I hope Tara Burnett gets elected in Cooper, the first trans MP would be such a big win!
This is my consistent strategy - labor above liberals, but anyone further left or independent goes above them both. Below liberals is reserved for the out-and-out bigots, like one nation and clive palmer.
