Primary support for the ALP has dropped 2% to 28.5% last week after student protests on University campuses in support of Palestine were broken up and Foreign Minister Penny Wong has consistently expressed support for a two-state solution to end the conflict in Gaza. ALP support was also undermined because Prime Minister Anthony Albanese failed to support Israel after International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan issued applications for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. However, the Coalition is not benefiting directly from this, its primary vote remained unchanged at 37%. Instead, support has increased for the Greens is up 0.5% to 15%, One Nation, is up 0.5% to 6%, Independents are up 0.5% to 9% and Other Parties are up 0.5% to 5%. More women than men swung against the Albanese Government and a look at the results in the different States shows the strongest swings against the ALP on a two-party preferred basis were in Queensland (-7.5%) and Victoria (-6.5%). In addition to the national issues, in Queensland the Steven Miles-led ALP Government is facing a State Election defeat this year while in Victoria the Jacinta Allan-led ALP Government has just handed down a State Budget with spending cuts and no sign of any cost-of-living relief for consumers.
