Polls this close after an election mean nothing. Labor was up 63-37 a few months after 2007 and only retained Government because of the turncoat independents from conservative electorates who were both summarily executed for it at the next election.
Labor was up 54-45 a few months after that election then got rolled in a landslide, it's meaningless, news cycle driven nonsense.
Albo is almost as bad as Shorten, Australia's answer to Jeremy Corbyn. A brown cardigan old Socialist. Morrison will have his ups and downs but unless there's a big scandal close to the election I'd expect a 4th Liberal term in Government and the first PM to face and win consecutive elections since Howard.

I really don't understand people who fixate on a party like it's their footy team. Apparently it's about the party agreeing with their ideologies. They're political parties, they stand for getting elected basically with a few differences in ideology but not enough to impact pragmatism.
As soon as a leader lets their ideologies loose, they get smacked at the next election. I've voted Labor and Liberal at both state and federal level and I'll keep making my decision based on what I think is best each election rather than being rusted on to one party or another.

Labor hasn’t had anyone with anything even in the ballpark of Corbyn’s politics since probably the 1970s. Albanese is just another value-free grifter who managed to trick us into thinking he was a little bit to the left of Shorten a few years ago. He isn’t.

Albo philosophically is a fair way to the left of Shorten, he's just smarter which is a bit like saying a tree frog is smarter than the tree.
In the last election Shorten went the class warfare route depite personally believing none of it and it blew up in his face because he utterly misjudged the electorate.
For Shorten, the union movement was a means to an end, Albo is a true believer but he is one who has the smarts to be pragmatic, read the electorate.
Personally I think Albo would make a far better PM than Shorten would have, likely the best Labor PM since Hawke/Keating, but he's going to need to stick for the long haul cos Morrison will win the next election. Albo's job is to get close enough next election to be able to win in the one after that

Snouts in the trough: Scotty from marketing shows he's got the ethics of an alley cat (with all due respect to alley cats)
Thought they could get away with it. This secretive malovolent immoral government: taking money earamrked for community groups & diverting to key marginal seats.
Scomo scumbag
"...Government used sporting grants as slush fund for re-election campaign..."
"...The Morrison government used a $100 million community sports program as a slush fund for its re-election campaign, overlooking projects approved by an independent panel in favour of splashing cash in marginal seats...".

Ethics expert says she has to go:
Simon Longstaff of the Ethics Centre
"...Prime Minister Scott Morrison should sack Bridget McKenzie or face ridicule the next time he attacks union corruption or business wrongdoing, an ethics expert says.
Ms McKenzie, the former sport minister, has faced growing calls to stand aside from the ministry after a scathing auditor-general's report found she had skewed funding towards marginal seats..."
https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/et ... 119-p53srg
Of course she has to go:
.There is growing pressure on deputy Nationals leader Bridget McKenzie to resign over the auditor-general's finding last week she awarded sporting grants from a $100 million community program to benefit her government at the next election.
Opposition parties say if she does not step aside, the Prime Minister should sack her.
And Independent MP Zali Steggal is using the scandal as further evidence of the need for a national anti-corruption body.
Today on AM, the Prime Minister backed his minister, saying there were "no issues about ineligibility of any project".
However, the executive director of the Ethics Centre says the case is clear, and that Bridget McKenzie should resign.

Ex Prime Ministers chirping is usually aimed at making themselves look good, the person who replaced them look bad, or both.
I'm still a tad confused why these fire chiefs wanted to see the PM when forestry and emergency management is a state responsibility, it seems they were all former employees of various state bodies who believed that the States weren't adequately resourced and wanted a federal inquiry into it.
Smells like a political stunt.
BTW, sorry for Morrisons father passing away today aged 84. Never fun to lose a parent.
