“Grrrrr! Downright dishonest #journalism by the Age and David Crowe.
If you look at the figures they don’t comment on, the biggest shifts are towards independents and away from ‘other’ (small right wing parties mainly).
They have no way of assessing who is shifting where, but Labor voters and a small number of Greens voters shifting to independent and former voters for Palmer etc shifting to Liberal is a more plausible explanation.
These Age polls by right-wing firm Resolve deliberately inflate the independent vote by offering independent as an option even in seats where no independent is standing.
To make Labor look worse. #auspol #politics
Also they don’t do two-party preferred calculations which would still be pretty close to 50-50 if you add Labor Greens & independents together, and add ‘other’ and Hanson to the Coalition.
They are trying to make Dutton look like a potential winner to swing people who have no idea, believe what they are fed, and follow the herd.
