Hanson takes a hit as Labor claws back the lead: poll
Newspoll and Redbridge show Labor ahead as One Nation’s support falls and the Coalition sinks to 17% in the latest survey, pollsters said.
- Two major polls released Sunday show One Nation support sliding to 29 per cent following Senator Pauline Hanson's National Press Club speech, handing Labor a narrow lead at 33 per cent.
- Hanson's expansive speech decrying multiculturalism and urging Australia to become a "monoculture" sparked immediate backlash on Sunday from Paul Hogan, whom she had cited as an "essential feature of Australian monoculture."
- Hogan labeled Hanson "a pelican" in an interview with the AFR, while Newspoll data reveals Coalition support has hit a historic low of 17 per cent, down sharply from 32 per cent at the 2025 election.
- Labor's Tanya Plibersek called the shift a "modest improvement," while Nationals leader Matt Canavan acknowledged the "electorate's very restless" but blamed government cost-of-living pressures.
- Strategists advise caution regarding recent surveys; one told Nine: "Any politician would be a fool to not look at the polls but they'd also be bigger fools to read too much into it.
