With the Northern Territory voters booting out Labor’s Eva Lawler and installing Lia Finocchiaro’s Country Liberal Party, there has been a seismic shift in Federal Labor’s chances of re-election in 2025, as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s approval rating continues to slide.
NT election result could herald seismic shift for Labor as the Albanese Government flounders from weekly own goal to another
The latest Redbridge poll shows 57 per cent of Australians could not name one of the Albanese govt’s achievements that had improved their lives since the last election, while the Coalition has now level pegged Labor in the last two polls in the two-party preference, which is a worrying sign for Labor as a first term government.
Since the Voice referendum, little has changed in the NT for Aboriginal communities, and despite Albanese’s pledge of $250 million for Central Australia to tackle youth crime and Aboriginal wellbeing, the slow rollout to a crisis that needs immediate action had a huge hand in the voting outcome. Albanese is increasingly tone-deaf in his approach to what is important to the nation and it is becoming his undoing.
Instead, Albanese has been labelled a fly-in, fly-out PM for his short visit to the NT and spent about as much time attending a night at a Taylor Swift concert with his fiancée than a trip to the top end when the crime rate began making national headlines daily. With weekly “own goals” plaguing Albanese and Labor, their only tactic is to distract from whatever the current scandal might be, all while opposition leader Peter Dutton has his job made easier with Labor’s inability to handle the challenges they must deal with.
