Click here Roy Morgan Update Watch Now FEDERAL VOTING INTENTION VIRTUALLY UNCHANGED THIS WEEK WITH ALP (50.5%) MARGINALLY AHEAD OF THE COALITION (49.5%); BUT GREENS LOST SUPPORT AFTER VIOLENT PROTESTS If a Federal Election were held now the result would be ‘too close to call’ with the ALP on 50.5% (down 0.5%) now just ahead of the Coalition on 49.5% (up 0.5%) on a two-party preferred basis, the latest Roy Morgan survey finds. There was a slight movement to the Coalition on a two-party preferred result this week, however, the overall result is ‘too close to call’ and either the ALP or Coalition would require the support of minor parties and independents to form a minority government. The result again shows the importance of preference flows to determine the overall two-party preferred result. The primary vote of both major parties was up this week – mainly at the expense of the Greens. ALP primary vote increased 0.5% to 30.5% while Coalition support increased 1% to 37.5%. Support for the Greens dropped 2% to 12.5% while One Nation was down 0.5% at 5.5%. Support for Other Parties increased 0.5% to 4% and support for Independents was up 0.5% to 10%.

The much-loved hardware chain has now held top spot as Australia’s most trusted brand for three consecutive quarters after previous leaders Woolworths and Coles fell down the rankings earlier this year. There wasn’t much movement in the top 10 with the exception of Toyota moving up one place to fourth to be just ahead of Apple to fill out Australia’s top five most trusted brands. Notable improvers outside the top 10 included Bendigo Bank, up two places to 11th, IGA, up one place to 13th, Nike, which entered the top 20 most trusted brands list for the first time at 16th, ING, up one place to 17th and David Jones, up one place to 18th. The strong performances of both Aldi and IGA, both comfortably ranked within Australia’s top 15 most trusted brands, prove that not all supermarkets have lost the trust of Australians during the current cost of living crisis.
