Overview
- The Resolve Political Monitor poll, conducted Nov. 2–7, found just 20% of voters say they trust Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and gave him a net performance rating of -22 points.
- Voters place responsibility for the cost‑of‑living squeeze on the federal government with about 42% blaming Labor as inflation and higher interest rates bite.
- Labor’s primary vote fell to roughly 28% while One Nation rose to about 25% and the Coalition sat near 22%, leaving the next election a three‑way contest in many areas.
- The Marrickville Golf Club’s $6 million grant in Albanese’s electorate has been singled out as a key factor in the trust decline and public anger has prompted reputational damage.
- The government confirmed late Sunday that it will not sell Victoria Barracks in Sydney, a reversal that reduces short‑term revenue plans but aims to blunt political fallout as Budget choices loom and households keep feeling price pressure.
