Today The Oz brings us a new January/February Newspoll for New South Wales showing the Coalition down 1 to 42 on the primaries, with the ALP up 4 to 30. This washes through to a two party preferred of 56/44 lead to the Coalition, a 3 point boost to the ALP since the last poll in Nov/Dec.
This was from a sample of 1265 (MoE around 2.8%) with 4% uncommitted and 3% refused/excluded on the primary vote estimates.
The usual charts look a little like this:
All these movements are within the margin of error of this poll and the previous, so it seems like it’s business as usual in the State of NSW with the ALP still headed for an absolutely massive thumping.

Greens are up to 15%. For the first time.
Looks like the Coalition are coming back. Bend over, workers, you’re about to cop it again.
#2 Obviously, you don’t fancy the prospect of a non-Labor government in NSW for whatever reason(s). The problem is that the citizens of NSW, and they are all workers, have now given up on this government. If any future Coalition government upsets the public (but not those sections of the public who are committed Australian Labor Party barrackers because they will always be upset when their team is not in government), then I expect an adverse ballot awaits it also (but when that may occur is anyone’s guess). There is an ALP government at Federal level with apparently fine prospects of some longevity, so you may relish that for the time being at least.
Not at all. I made it clear I don’t fancy the prospect of a Coalition government.
There are numerous reasons, but the most glaring is their record of screwing employees.
Bend over, employees, and wait to get “governed”. The Coalition are coming back!
As I made tolerably clear in my prior post, a non-Labor government means a Coalition of the Liberal and National parties in government. Your (bolded) point is of no moment.
A coalition of the Liberal and National Parties in government means employees get screwed.
