Labor has increased its lead over the government in a new opinion poll, as South Australia's freshly elected premier says Prime Minister Scott Morrison is unpopular in the state.
The opposition is also ahead on two-party preferred in every state but Queensland, with the coalition increasing its lead in the Sunshine State from the last election. Newly elected premier Peter Malinauskas said he wanted to see both parties elevate the discourse at the federal election, as he suggested the state poll could be a sign of things to come in South Australia when residents vote again in a matter of weeks.
Mr Malinauskas urged both party leaders ahead of the election, due to be held by May 21, to focus on policies to make the country fairer.
