A new opinion poll suggests that Australia may have a minority government after the upcoming federal election.
The poll also indicates a slight increase in public approval for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
However, both major parties have seen a small rise in their primary vote share.
According to the Newspoll results, the opposition Liberal Alliance currently holds 39% of the vote base.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister has managed to increase Labor’s vote base to 32%.
A two-party comparison shows that the Liberal Alliance has 51% public support, while the ruling Labor Party has 49%.
Based on these figures, it is likely that the next government will not have a majority.
The federal election is set for May, and the upcoming federal budget on March 25 is expected to play a crucial role in shaping voter decisions.
