Labor’s lead reduced
- On voting intentions, Newspoll gave Labor a 54–46% lead over the Coalition, a one-point gain for the Coalition from three weeks ago.

Other polls and Fadden byelection candidates
- Primary votes were 36.5% for Labor, 34% Coalition, 13% Greens and 16.5% for all others.
- But 74% of voters said they no longer wore masks in public spaces, compared to 25% who did.
- Thirteen candidates will contest the July 15 byelection for the Queensland federal seat of Fadden.
- At the 2022 election, the Liberal National Party won Fadden by a 60.6–39.4% margin against Labor.
Liberal David Van now a crossbench senator
- Dutton expelled Liberal Senator David Van from the party on June 15 over allegations of sexual misbehaviour, which he denies.
- While Dutton can expel Van from the party, he can’t force Van to leave parliament.
- Van is now a crossbench senator.
Other parliamentary news
- This is the first major defeat for the government in the Senate this term.
- If the Senate still won’t pass the bill in October, there is the possibility of a double-dissolution election, where all seats in both chambers of parliament face election.
