First major poll for preferred Prime Minister reveals new results | Sunrise

Well, the verdict is in.Angus Taylor is now the preferred Prime Minister in this country, beating Anthony Albanese in the first major polling since the federal budget.Taylor leads Albanese by three percentage points in the Resolve poll out this morning.Voters smashing the government over broken promises on property taxes.For their take, let's bring in Social Services Minister Tanya Plibersek and One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce.Good morning to both of you.

Tanya.60 % of people say your housing message is a step in the wrong direction or will make no difference.Did you expect the rejection to be this bad?

Well, I think that's a pretty selective reading of the polls, Nat.There's a lot of people who are saying that they're in favour of the changes we're making, and there's a big group in the middle who don't yet understand what's been decided, who we've got to talk to, we've got to explain what we're doing.And I think the most important thing to start with is if you're already negatively gearing, you can keep doing it, no change.Until next July.If you want to negatively gear in the future, If you want to negatively gear in the future, what you'll do is buy a new property.And the reason that we did that is because we want to add to housing stock.

in this country.We want people to be buying new places because we're increasing the pool of available housing.What we don't want are people my age being subsidised to go out and buy their fifth or tenth established home when young first home buyers can't get into the market.Is it a problem though?So we're doing a lot right across.

You've had the two, well more than the two, most senior politicians in this country try to explain it for a week and as you say, a lot of the people in the middle don't understand it yet.

I think that's pretty new.I think it's pretty natural.People take a little while.Yeah, they do.They take a little while to listen to everything that they're hearing on TV, in the newspapers, from our leaders, and they'll make their mind up over time.But most people that stop me in the street to talk about housing, people my age and older, are worried.

that their kids and grandkids will never be able to afford a home of their own.So we're doing a lot with like 5 % deposits, 2 ,500 people in Barnaby's electorate.have got into a home of their own because of our 5 % deposit policy.Just today we've announced more than 50 ,000 extra blocks in Queensland.We're working with the Queensland Government to bring that housing supply on.But while ever the tax system was working against young Australians, stopping them getting into a home of their own, well, I think it's important that we change that to make it easier for the next generation and the next generation to get into the housing market.

this going to make it any easier?People have really voted for Angus Taylor in this poll.Anthony Albanese in February was preferred Prime Minister 38 to 22.Now it's completely swung.It's done a 360.Angus Taylor's 33 to 30.

That is a pretty clear verdict on the budget.They've decided that much.That must be a shock this morning for your government.

Well, it's one poll and we'll keep doing our job of reminding people why we've made this decision.We've made this decision because we want kids today and the next generation and the next generation to have what we had, a home of our own, a roof over their heads for their family.And the way the housing market was going, that was becoming less and less a likelihood, less possible for the next generation and the next generation.I want my three kids to have what I have.what my parents had.

We all want that, Tanya.

A roof over their head that they can raise a family.Everyone wants that.Then we've got to make changes, Nat.But the changes have got to be right, Tanya.You have to admit, it's become less likely today.It's become less likely today than it was just a few years ago because cashed up investors were competing with young first home buyers.

in the housing market.What we're saying to those people now is if you want to invest, invest in new housing, bring more housing stock into the pool of available housing.They'll still be able to negatively gear.They'll have to negatively gear new properties.So we're adding to housing stock.That's a pretty fair compromise.

And if it works, because we've got a real estate agent on coming up and he says that all the old people are going to keep their assets and they're not going to sell.So it's just got to work.You know, it'd be great if it works.Barnaby, the same poll has declared Pauline Hanson and is now the most likeable politician in this country.Can One Nation actually convert that into votes because you have one lower house seat?

Well we have and we saw in that vote that we were by far and away.The Labor Party didn't turn up and we were double the rest of the Coalition's vote.Now, the reason that the Prime Minister of Australia, the Prime Minister of Australia and the Treasurer are finding it hard to explain what's going on is because they lied.See, they lied before the election.They said they weren't going to change things, but they lied.And now people have woken up, it's not just houses, but small businesses, with Mr Albanese as their 40 per cent shareholder in the equity of their business, and they're not happy with that.

They're very unhappy with that.And then we were told that it wouldn't go into death duties.And we find it in discretionary trust in the future.It will.See, it's another lie.There are a lot of lies going on.

And of course, no one's going to believe them when they explain it, because they believe that they're liars.And see, people don't believe liars.And, you know, and Tanya had the talking points last week.but she knew the answers and we sort of got went on this magical mystery tour with Tanya where she knew the answers but she wouldn't tell us she wouldn't even say I know the answers but I won't tell you okay so what we have is socialism at play where basically they end up with your place and the people who are renting are actually, their lives are going to be made worse.See they rent not because they can afford a house, they rent because they can't afford and therefore that rental stock for people to get their returns...And we're trying to help them get into the market and you're trying to stop them.

...they're going to ask for more money on their rent.They're going to ask for more money on their rent.So they're going to be pushed out of their house and onto the street and into a car.So next time you're walking down the street in your suburb, explain to them how you lied and how now people who are rent are going to get a worse deal.And then you'll find out why your polling has gone down.

We're going to give them a chance of a home of their own that you want to deny them.We're going to give them a chance of a home of their own.Well that's indisputable.Now you're telling the truth.There's 2 ,500 people in your electorate who are in a home of their own.There's 2 ,500 people that you would not have built into the housing market because you wouldn't help them with 5 % deposits.
