Cost of living the ‘number one issue’ in Australia

Hawker Britton Managing Director Simon Banks says cost of living is the “number one issue” in Australia.

According to the Resolve Strategic poll, Peter Dutton is leading Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on preferred prime minister 36 per cent to 35 per cent.

“People ultimately voted for Tony Abbott … so, I think, if anyone on either side of politics assumes that a person is unelectable … I think political strategists move beyond that and focus on the fundamentals,” Mr Banks told Sky News Australia.

“The issue for Peter Dutton is, look, the cost of living’s the number one issue.

“Australians are doing is tough, and they still haven’t received their tax cuts, the reductions in their energy bills and the cheaper medicines.

“Australians are pretty cranky at the moment, and this poll certainly reflects that.”
