US EditionSupport for Albanese plummets after muddled response to Bondi attack
Labor's primary vote fell to 30%, its lowest since February 2025, while One Nation surged to a record 22%, overtaking the Coalition amid voter dissatisfaction post-Bondi attack.
- On Monday, Pauline Hanson, One Nation leader, saw her party poll at 22% ahead of the Coalition on 21% in Newspoll, marking the first time One Nation has outpolled the Coalition.

- Nearly half of voters now back minor parties or independents, and One Nation's clearer stance on immigration, net zero and gun reform complicates the government's split legislation on gun laws and hate speech.
