Geopolitics aside, a bit of news about the local shire council...

"Kos Samaras @kossamas ~ Tonight’s AFR/RedBridge Accent poll:

"Labor 54% 2PP vs One Nation Nationally, 60% 2PP in Capital cities vs One Nation. One Nation at 53% 2PP in regional and rural Australia. Yes, in a country that is highly urbanised, that matters. A lot.

Labor dominates the capital cities. 60/40 on 2PP. Hanson owns everything else.

Albanese is the most hated political figure amongst One Nation voters. Hanson is the most hated political figure amongst Labor and other left voters.

One Nation voters rate Albanese at -83. Labor voters rate Hanson at -55. So One Nation’s ability to eat into the progressive block is extremely limited. This is clearly now a Right on Right contest, where One Nation attempts to replace the Coalition as he main Right wing party. It appears One Nation is succeeding.

And the Coalition? Third. At 19%. Behind both. Across every single demographic. One Nation has basically replaced it as the major party for conservative Baby Boomers, the regions and practically every other key group that held up the Coalition in the past.

Angus Taylor told Fairfax he’s open to a deal with One Nation. When you’re at 19 and One Nation at 28, you’re not making an offer. You’re submitting a résumé. That submission will also lock in Labor’s advantage in the big cities as they will capitalise on this, along with the Teals. "
