Shock poll suggests Peter Dutton could challenge Anthony Albanese in upcoming Australian federal election amid rising voter dissatisfaction.

In Short

Peter Dutton is poised to challenge Anthony Albanese in the upcoming federal election, with new polling showing rising dissatisfaction among voters regarding Albanese’s leadership.

Dutton promises various initiatives to address public concerns, including energy rebates and improvements in healthcare and community safety.

New polling suggests Peter Dutton could challenge Anthony Albanese in the upcoming federal election.

As Albanese prepares to visit the Governor-General to officially call the election for May 3, a new Redbridge poll indicates that voters feel worse off after his three years in leadership.

While Albanese holds a slight lead of 51 to 49 percent on a two-party preferred basis, dissatisfaction over cost of living rises sharply.

The poll reveals that 54 percent of voters could not identify any improvements made by the Federal Government during Albanese’s tenure. Only 29 percent could name a positive initiative, with the $300 energy rebate noted as the main benefit.

Energy prices

Dutton has promised to extend this rebate and implement an east coast gas reservation to reduce energy prices.

The poll indicated that public sentiment is ripe for change, with Dutton highlighting stories of hardship faced by everyday Australians.

In his budget reply speech, Dutton proposed halving fuel excises for a year and cutting the permanent migration intake by 25 percent to address housing issues.

He rejected the idea of income tax cuts, citing national debt concerns, and aimed to invest in healthcare improvements instead.

Dutton strongly criticised Albanese’s handling of crime and national security, emphasising a commitment to improving bulk billing and addressing community safety.

As both parties prepare for the election, economic and social issues appear central to voters’ concerns.
