Voice support up in Essential poll, but it is still behind

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, October 3, 2023

This is the first time since June that “yes” has gained ground between two separate polls by the same pollster.

Key Points: 
  • This is the first time since June that “yes” has gained ground between two separate polls by the same pollster.
  • The graph below has been updated with additional results from Freshwater and Morgan (see below) as well as Essential.
  • The Essential and Morgan polls are the best pollsters for “yes”, but it is still behind with these polls.

Labor recovers in Essential voting intentions

    • In Essential’s two party estimate that includes undecided, Labor led by 50–45, after reaching a low for this term of 49–45 last fortnight.
    • Primary votes were 33% Labor (up two), 32% Coalition (steady), 14% Greens (up one), 6% One Nation (down two), 2% UAP (steady), 7% for all Others (down one) and 5% undecided (down one).
    • The gains for Labor and the Greens on primary votes suggest that respondent preferences were better for the Coalition and cost Labor a larger lead.

Freshwater poll: Labor only ahead by 51–49

    • Primary votes were 37% Coalition (steady), 33% Labor (down one), 13% Greens (up one) and 17% for all Others (steady).
    • The two most recent Freshwater polls have favoured the Coalition relative to other recent polls, with last week’s Newspoll giving Labor a 54–46 lead.
    • The Liberals led Labor by 38–29 on economic management and by 32–30 on cost of living.

Morgan poll has best result for ‘yes’ since August

    • A national Morgan poll, conducted September 18–24 from a sample of 1,511, gave “no” just a 44–39 lead.
    • While this is a reversal of the 46–36 “yes” lead in the previous Morgan Voice poll in May, it’s the best result for “yes” from any pollster since an early August Essential poll gave “no” a four-point lead.
    • This poll was conducted using online methods, whereas previous Morgan Voice polls used SMS.

Jacinta Allan replaces Daniel Andrews as Victorian Premier

    • Daniel Andrews resigned as Victorian Labor Premier and Member for Mulgrave on September 27.
    • Former deputy Premier Jacinta Allan was elected Labor leader and premier unopposed at a September 27 Labor caucus, and former Public Transport Minister Ben Carroll deputy premier.
    • Andrews became Victorian premier after winning the November 2014 state election.
    • In his nearly nine years in power, he did nothing to reform the Victorian upper house’s electoral system.

Who is Jacinta Allan, Victoria's new premier?

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, September 27, 2023

Deputy Premier Jacinta Allan, from the Socialist Left faction, was widely tipped to become the next premier, especially as she had Andrews’ endorsement.

Key Points: 
  • Deputy Premier Jacinta Allan, from the Socialist Left faction, was widely tipped to become the next premier, especially as she had Andrews’ endorsement.
  • But who is Jacinta Allan and what challenges await her as premier?

From Bendigo East to premier

    • She became the youngest female elected to the Victorian parliament when she first won the seat of Bendigo East at age 25 in 1999.
    • After holding several ministerial positions, Allan was selected as the deputy leader of the Labor Party, and therefore deputy premier of Victoria, in 2022.
    • This was interpreted as a clear indication that Premier Daniel Andrews had anointed her to take over if he was to retire before the next election.

Public profile

    • Such was his dominance, and the media’s interest in him, that other ministers have often struggled to increase their public profile.
    • Allan has arguably developed a stronger public profile than other potential challengers.
    • As the minister responsible for the games, Allan was the target of the opposition’s attacks on the government.

Victoria’s second female premier

    • The late Joan Kirner made history in 1990 when she became the first woman to be premier of Victoria.
    • Kirner was also left with a divided Labor Party that had been in power since Cain first led the party to victory in 1982.
    • The new premier must now work through the fallout from the pandemic.

Dan Andrews leaves office as a titan of Victorian politics - who drove conservatives to distraction

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, September 26, 2023

Daniel Andrews, who has announced he will step down after nearly nine years as premier, leaves office as a titan of Victorian politics.

Key Points: 
  • Daniel Andrews, who has announced he will step down after nearly nine years as premier, leaves office as a titan of Victorian politics.
  • An activist premier, a gifted political communicator and a hard man of politics, he has been an enormously consequential leader and one of national significance.
  • He is the fourth-longest serving premier in Victorian history, and the longest-serving Labor premier.

The hard man rises

    • The first that it’s his natural style – Andrews is a classic strong leader, command and control is his modus operandi.
    • Victoria’s infrastructure was run down and no longer fit for purpose, unable to cope with its booming population.
    • Andrews understood that in Victoria, perhaps more than anywhere else in Australia, there was leeway to pursue a progressive social agenda.
    • Read more:
      'A political force of nature': despite scandals and a polarising style, can 'Dan' do it again in Victoria?

A democratic deficit

    • On law and order, for example, his instincts were conservative.
    • For example, on his watch discriminatory bail laws contributed to Indigenous Australians being incarcerated in disproportionate numbers.
    • He has also chafed at being accountable, leading to a democratic deficit on his watch.

#IstandwithDan v #DictatorDan

    • His daily press conferences during the darkest days of the crisis were eagerly watched across the nation.
    • With the harshest and longest lockdowns in the country, social media gave the impression of a deeply polarised state: those who said #IstandwithDan and those who were enraged by #DictatorDan.
    • Read more:
      Strong political leaders are electoral gold – but the trick is in them knowing when to stand down

The Dan vacuum

    • In more recent times his forcefulness had morphed into something darker.
    • His going in that sense is a healthy thing: it will disturb the power relations that have centred on him.
    • He will leave an enormous vacuum, both in the party he has led for 13 years and the government he’s led for nine.
    • Whoever becomes premier will have to tackle some significant economic challenges, including ballooning infrastructure spending, and the fallout from massive COVID spending.
