00:00
As the campaign enters its second week, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is in Melbourne
00:06
for the second time since the election was called.
00:09
We're currently in the outer suburban Melbourne suburb of McEwen.
00:13
It's a Labor held marginal seat and the Prime Minister is talking to a family
00:18
benefiting from flexible work from home arrangements.
00:21
Now this photo opportunity is of course another opportunity for Labor to continue
00:26
to pursue Peter Dutton over his back down on the Coalition's work from home
00:30
and public servant policy.
00:32
The Prime Minister has seized on this today, raising it even when not directly asked
00:36
and is trying to get as much traction from it as possible.
00:39
You know Peter Dutton can be really nasty.
00:42
People have seen examples of that in past days.
00:46
Really nasty. The truth is he should defend his own position.
00:51
The ALP brand has suffered here in Victoria at a state level
00:54
and Federal Labor is concerned it will be punished at the ballot box as a result.
00:58
The Prime Minister also stood beside Premier Jacinta Allen earlier
01:02
to talk up $2 billion in funding for the Sunshine train station in the safe seat of Fraser
01:07
after facing questions about her absence at his events last week.
01:11
He also carefully sidestepped questions about whether the Premier's popularity
01:15
would be a drag on Federal Labor.
01:17
But Anthony Albanese has additional momentum today
01:20
with the latest news poll putting Labor ahead of the Coalition 52-48 after preferences.
01:26
This is notable because this is the result that delivered Labor a majority government
01:30
at the last election and now all the major online published polls have Labor
01:35
either ahead of the Coalition or gaining ground
01:38
which suggests a swing towards Labor for voters as we enter this second week of the campaign.
