Albanese’s approval hits lowest ever; Dutton narrows gap as Coalition gains momentum ahead of upcoming election.

Anthony Albanese’s approval ratings have reached a new low, according to a recent Newspoll.

The poll, published by The Australian, indicates that the gap between Albanese and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton as preferred Prime Minister has narrowed to just three points.

Dutton’s approval has increased three points to 41 per cent, while Albanese’s has decreased to 44 per cent.

Albanese’s net personal approval has dropped to minus 20 per cent, with only 37 per cent of voters expressing satisfaction with his performance compared to 57 per cent who are dissatisfied.

In contrast, Dutton’s net approval has risen slightly to minus 11, reflecting a minor increase in his approval ratings.

On primary support, Labor has fallen two percentage points to 31 per cent, whereas the Coalition has remained stable at 39 per cent.

Public expectations for Labor are shifting, with a majority of voters now anticipating a Coalition Government as the likely outcome of the next election.

Only one-third of Australians foresee a Labor Government relying on crossbench support, while 29 per cent believe Dutton may lead a minority government.

Iran buries nuclear site entrances amid rising tensions with the U.S.

Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.

The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.

The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.

Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.

Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
