Labor’s primary vote was unchanged at 30.5%, while the Greens were down half a point to 12.5%. On the arguably redundant two-party preferred measure, which lines Labor up against a now defunct Coalition that is actually running third, Labor leads 56-44 on respondent-allocated preferences, in from 56.5-43.5 last week. The poll was conducted last Monday to Sunday from a sample of 1401. The accompanying release also includes accumulated monthly breakdowns on primary vote and two-party preferred by state, gender and age cohort. Labor will surely have no interest in fielding a candidate, and the seat has never been strong for right-wing minor parties despite having the state’s oldest age profile.
