Shock Roy Morgan poll shows Coalition AHEAD of Labor after High Court chaos and Voice defeat

Public support for the Albanian government has fallen further after a turbulent few weeks, with the coalition now leading the Labor Party.

A new Roy Morgan poll shows support for the Coalition at 50.5 percent (up 0.5 percent from a week ago), while support for Labor has fallen by 0.5 percent to 49.5 percent based on two-party preference.

The federal voting intention survey was based on 1,401 Australian voters from November 13 to 19.

The results correspond to the low point reached by the Albanian government following the defeat of the Voice to Parliament referendum last month, when all Australian states voted resoundingly no to the proposed constitutional change.

Labour’s decline in the polls also coincides with the Supreme Court’s controversial ruling to release 93 asylum seekers, some of whom are convicted criminals.

It is the third week in a row with declines for the government.

Going into the general election, the Coalition is now on 37.5 percent, up 1 percent from a week ago, and significantly higher than the ALP on 29.5 percent, down 0.5 percent.

Support for the Greens stands at 13.5 percent, up 0.5 percent, while support for One Nation is also up 0.5 percent to 6.5 percent.

There has been a decline in support for the Independents, from 1 percent to 7 percent, and for other parties from 0.5 percent to 6 percent.

The news comes as the federal government is under pressure following the release of 93 asylum seekers from detention following a historic court ruling.

The mass release comes after a refugee, known only as NZYQ, who raped a 10-year-old boy was allowed into the community following a High Court ruling that ruled it was unlawful to detain asylum seekers indefinitely.

The main ruling immediately led to the possible release of another 92 non-citizens in custody who could not be deported to their home countries.

Part of the group consists of convicted criminals.

Last week, the federal government rushed through new legislation in Parliament to impose new visa conditions on those released under the updated law.

The government has faced intense political pressure over the release.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton slammed the government, suggesting it had months to anticipate the Supreme Court’s outcome that indefinite immigration detention was illegal and should have had legislation ready.

‘The government had since June to draft this legislation. Earlier this week, on Monday and Tuesday, they said there is no legislation that can fix this. Ultimately, it turns out there is legislation they can pass,” he said.

The government is also reeling from the historic referendum defeat of the proposed Indigenous Voice in parliament last month.

Voters decisively rejected the proposal to recognize Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the Australian Constitution, with the ACT being the only jurisdiction that could deliver a majority yes vote.

The proposal was defeated nationally and by a majority in every state, failing to achieve the double majority required for amendment under section 128 of the Constitution.
