The Australian has published the regular quarterly aggregation from Newspoll, providing large-sample breakdowns for the mainland states and demographic sub-groups compiled from polling conducted from April through to June. This amounts to a sample of 6049 combined from the last four Newspoll surveys.
The results show little change overall on the previous quarter, with all states recording unchanged two-party results except South Australia. This means a 50-50 result in New South Wales, a swing to Labor of around two points compared with the 2019 election; 53-47 to Labor in Victoria, essentially unchanged; 53-47 to the Coalition in Queensland, a swing to Labor of around 5.5%; 53-47 to Labor in Western Australia, a swing of around 8.5%; and 54-46 to Labor in South Australia, compared with 55-45 in the January-March aggregate and 50.7-49.3 at the 2019 election. The striking fact of this stability is that the surges recorded to Labor last time of five points in Queensland and seven points in Western Australia have stuck.
The demographic breakdowns have been similarly placid, the biggest movements being of three points to the Coalition among the 65+ cohort (to 65-35) and the lower-middle income cohort (to 51-49). There is still no gender gap on two-party preferred, but there is now one on prime ministerial approval, with Morrison’s net rating deteriorating by 12% among women to +15% but by only 5% among men to +21%. Morrison has also held up better in New South Wales, where his net rating is down six to +26%, than in Victoria (down 11 to +6%), Queensland (down 15 to +20%) and Western Australia (down 15 to +22%).
The results also include breakdowns by working status for the first time, which find Labor leading 51-49 lead among those working full time, 54-46 lead among those working part-time and 60-40 among an “other” category that accounts for about 15% of the sample, while the Coalition leads 61-39 among the retired.
That fool of a VicOpp leader, O’Brien, always talks as if the worst tragedy that could ever happen is a lockdown.

Question: If the Australian vaccination roll-out is terrible , and Australia now has a higher percentage of people vaccinated than New Zealand – should we conclude the NZ Vaccine roll-out is terrible too?
Or to put it another way, is the NZ Ardern Labor Government as or more terrible than the Morrison Liberal/ National Government?

Having raised $1m in donations, Friendlyjordies is well set up to defend Barilaro’s defamation suit.

Didn’t some federal politician say that a state has to be in lockdown for 2 weeks to get the payments?
Imagine if Covid-19 was, say, a train derailment.
Many fatalities; many fighting for life.
We’d be hearing personal, gut-wrenching stories: single mother of three, working her bum off, dead. Hard-working fire-fighter, with four children: dead. Insignificant public servant who supports parents: dead. Et-f-cetera.
We’d know all their personal details. We’d have family snaps plastered all over the papers.
Because it’s a tragedy, donycha know.
Yet Covid deaths? We know nothing.
We’re told we’re in a life or death situation; trying to decide whether to be vaccinated or not, we get nothing, not a peep, about the people who have died, their medical conditions, if any, and we’re supposed to make up our minds, weigh up the risks, without this vital information. Just do it.
And the people telling us to do it have been vaccinated with the premium. And telling the rest of us to make do with a 2nd class vax.
I can’t tell you how annoyed I am about it.
Lars Von Trier
No. Each government is being held to its own goals, standards and vaccination plan. The NZ government are competent communicators, planners and leaders, unlike ours.

I’d say the opposite of useless. He’s worked hard, with his team, to make things less bearable.
kezza2 – about 5300 Aussies died of bowel cancer in 2018 ( the figure is expected to be higher because of the people who didn’t get screened because of covid in 2021).
A total of 912 people have died from covid in the last 18 months (820 of whom where in Victoria).
Every death is a tragedy for a family member but its good to keep some perspective.
Imagine if we had someone like cudchewer firing properly – he could be lecturing on the benefits of regular fibre in your diet, colonic irrigation and bowel screening 24/7 all taken from cribbing internet sources.
On yesterday’s figures. NZ (10.2%) has more fully vaccinated than Aus (9.1%).

With rumors of a fifth lockdown for Victoria, the government has to step up to help casual workers and jobseekers.
Scott Morrison must fast-track support for people today.
Not in a week. Not when a Liberal Premier asks him.

NZ have zero local covid cases.
NZ didn’t claim they were head of the queue.
NZ weren’t offered 40mill Pfizer doses this time last year.
NZ is a tiny little country that is significantly poorer (per capita ) than Australia, who worship the God Rugby and believe Crowded House is a NZ band because they have very little to hang their hat on.
But go ahead – make NZ your your comparison. At least they backed the right vax horse.
The rate is terrible compared to NZ’s.
Imagine not understanding that assessing a plan and its execution requires understanding what the goals and projected outcomes are.
I think Morrison might have been the source of the 1:8 figure, so excuse my scepticism. Ya know, Matilda and the lies story.

Sounding like a new variant of vaccine conspiracy theorists – the Government and the Health department(s), Medicare are lying about vaccination numbers now!

So 5300 people died of bowel cancer in 2018, before they were screened in 2021, and cud chewer is to blame.
That helps.
Green stooges should have thought about the workers before demanding open borders.
If you didn’t understand the post kezza2 Im not inclined to explain and elaborate.

We know you’re all waiting for our take on Victoria’s lockdown, but we’re from NSW so it takes us an extra 3 weeks to respond to any Covid developments
Lars Von Trier @ #2678 Thursday, July 15th, 2021 – 3:51 pm
The perspective is that those 912 deaths were out of a pool of just 31,513 people with covid, while your 5300 were drawn out of a pool of 25 million people with bowels. One thing kills way more frequently than the other. And it’s not the bowel cancer one.
Expose all 25 million Australians to covid, and you’ll be lucky to walk away with fewer than 500,000 dead. But let’s do that because lockdowns are annoying, I guess?
and interview Barnaby Joyce.
Do they really need to work so hard to make the lockdown unbearable?
