Labor holds Dunkley but slumps in two national polls; Liberals lead in Tasmania
Summary by Ground News
The Poll Bludger is projecting a final Labor margin of 52.6%-47.4, a 3.6% swing to the Liberals. This means Labor candidate Jodie Belyea will win the seat after a byelection was called in the wake of the death of former MP Peta Murphy. Labor holding Dunkley will be a big relief for the party, but it does not predict the next election result. It's still likely over a year until the next federal election. What happens in the polls over that time is far more important than the result of this byelection.
