|Sky News host Paul Murray says the final Newspoll results of the year reflect the Labor Party’s poor political strategy focusing around ‘chasing Twitter’ to garnish support. The latest opinion poll, reported by The Australian, has shown the Coalition’s support has risen by a per cent leading into the Christmas period. The two-party-preferred standing has the Coalition now sitting at 52 per cent compared to Labor’s 48 per cent.
Mr Murray said the Labor Party “did exactly what [Bill] Shorten did,” by focusing their political attention on chasing “fake” leads instead of talking about the important contemporary political issues facing the nation. “Scott Morrison got better in the past couple of weeks, Albo got worse," he said. Mr Murray said the polls indicate there is “no buyer’s remorse” among the Australian public over the shock election of the Coalition at the last federal election.
