On the 2PP+ measure, Labor leads the Coalition among the 18-34 age group and 35-54 age groups , but trails among those aged over 55 . This has not translated to a pickup for Dutton, with the poll finding a one point decline in his approval rating to 41% and two-point increase in his disapproval to 45%, for a net approval rating of minus-4.
After two weeks of parliament where Labor passed key agenda items including planks of its future made in Australia policy, expanded childcare access, electoral reform and stronger laws against hate speech and antisemitism, the Albanese government has been keen to emphasise its more substantial policy offerings compared with the relatively thin slate of ideas announced by the Dutton opposition.
