The winter break is over for our federal politicians – they are back in Canberra with parliament resuming sittings today. Rating high in the chatter will likely be this morning’s polls… In the Australian’s Newspoll, Labor and the Coalition are tied on a 2-party preferred basis with the survey respondents tipping Team Albanese slipping back in with support from the minor parties and independents. Just 7% of those polled reckon the Coalition will win the next election… And in the Sydney Morning Herald/Age, Labor is trailing the Coalition on primary votes, with respondents giving Team Dutton’s economic management credentials a big tick. After last week’s interest rates decision and the Albanese Government’s disagreement with the Reserve Bank, expect a few questions about that today. You’ll be tuning in, right?
