One Nation overtakes Labor in a third poll, and Albanese's plan is to keep cutting migration

A third poll puts One Nation ahead of Labor, and the Prime Minister responds by pledging further migration cuts while pleading with media to stop personal portrayals of politicians.

Third poll has One Nation past Labor and the answer is to keep trimming the migration that built the place. You don't kill the original by releasing a cover — the punters just go and buy the record. Menzies beat the fringe by ignoring it; this mob's auditioning for it. Manners on the poster, capitulation in the plank.
