News.com.au, 23 October 2018:
IT’S not looking good
for the Coalition.
New polling analysis has
revealed the Morrison Government is facing an election wipe-out, with a drop in
support across every mainland state and every voter demographic since Scott
Morrison replaced Malcolm Turnbull as Prime Minister in August.
Analysis of four
Newspolls since the August 24 leadership coup, published by The Australian this morning,
reveals a potential loss of up to 25 seats across Australia based on two-party
preferred swings since the 2016 election, with eight held by current
frontbenchers.
It comes after a
shocking 19 per cent swing against the Liberal Party at the Wentworth
by-election on Saturday.
Swings against
the Morrison Government of up to 5% in Queensland and 7% in South Australia are
tipped.
While on the
NSW North Coast pundits are suggesting that Nationals
MP Kevin Hogan will have to fight hard to keep the Page federal electorate
and that Nationals-held Cowper is
also up for grabs.
Kevin Hogan
is still mired in that ridiculous charade where he declared
himself as an independent MP sitting on the cross bench in August 2018.
Despite the
fact that:
b) remains the Deputy National Party Whip in
the House of Representatives;
c) remains Deputy Speaker in the House of Representatives;
d) was preselected by the National Party as
its candidate in Page for the forthcoming federal election; and
e) has always voted at the direction of the National Party both before and after his spurious move to the cross bench.
According to
Hogan himself; “I’m still a Nats
MP – I still advocate and lobby for our community through the normal channels”.
