Federal Health Minister Mark Butler has urged Australians not to place too much weight on recent opinion polls showing increased support for One Nation.
Speaking on RN Breakfast, Butler noted that Australia remains two years away from the next federal election and argued that many more polls will be conducted before voters decide the next government.
Butler said households across the country continue to face significant financial pressure. He argued that inflationary pressures were already present in the economy before the war in Iran and said the conflict had further intensified those challenges.
According to Butler, growing frustration over cost of living pressures is reflected in polling results and private research. He said Australians are looking to governments for additional relief as economic pressures continue to affect household budgets.
