Horror first poll for ScoMo’s ‘next-gen team’

Scott Morrison, Australia’s come-from-nowhere prime minister, has suffered a horrific first poll result, as he unveils a ministry with few women and plenty of coal.

The new PM has promoted fellow coal backers to key positions.

In Sunday’s all-important Newspoll, the first since the leadership chaos, popular support for the Coalition dropped to the lowest levels in a decade. Labor gained five points to a whopping two-party preferred vote of 56 per cent to the LNP’s 44 per cent.

Bill Shorten was also crowned the nation’s new preferred prime minister, with 39 per cent support to Mr Morrison’s 33 per cent. This was a gain of seven points for Mr Shorten and a loss of 11 points for Mr Morrison from Malcolm Turnbull’s last number.
