Labor 'out coaled' in Upper Hunter


The government risked losing its majority and the pressure was on Labor to win Upper Hunter for the first time. Working-class voters in Muswellbrook and Singleton, in the centre of the electorate, had helped Labor build up its vote to nearly 30%, making the seat winnable.
However, Labor’s Jeff Drayton, a Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) official, failed to get traction on his strongly pro-coal platform, polling just over 21%.
The drop in Labor’s vote is comparable to the 13% won by anti-coal independents.
Kirsty O’Connell, supported by former Prime Minister now climate activist Malcolm Turnbull, polled 9% and Tracey Norman, former mayor of Dungog in the east of the electorate, won 4%.

In with a chance: after two years of Albanese, Labor feels Morrison can be beaten


One senior figure captured the zeitgeist pithily. “I honestly think we’ve gone from not being a chance to a chance, but I wouldn’t put it higher than a chance. Scott Morrison is doing badly, but we are not yet doing well”.
It’s true some MPs are nervous and/or flat. There are differences about policy. Climate remains difficult, and there’s the government’s stage three tax cuts. On tax, the internal differences are significant, and will be hard to resolve to everyone’s satisfaction. Albanese and the shadow treasurer, Jim Chalmers, are conducting rolling consultations one-on-one in an effort to reach a landing point.
