From Roy Morgan Research:
ALP support has increased to 54% (up 1% point since mid-October) cf. L-NP on 46% (down 1% point) on a two-party preferred basis according to the latest Roy Morgan Poll on Federal voting intention conducted over the last two weekends.
The 1% point swing to the ALP came after the governing Liberal and National parties have spent the last few weeks ‘haggling’ about a change in policy for the Government to support a target of “Net Zero” carbon dioxide emissions for Australia by 2050.
The Liberal Party under the leadership of Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been pushing to be able to make this commitment at the upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland whereas the National Party has resisted the reform. The latest news over the weekend is that the National Party has voted narrowly to support this reform although clear divisions remain within the party with at least one National Party Senator vowing to campaign against the change.
