Australian government support at 8-year low: poll - The China Post

SYDNEY -- Support for Australia's ruling Labor Party has plunged to its lowest level in eight years, a poll showed Tuesday, as the government battles to introduce a carbon tax which has divided voters.

The center-left party led by Prime Minister Julia Gillard is trailing 45 percent to 55 percent to a conservative opposition, which has pledged to overturn the proposed tax to combat carbon pollution if elected.

“Labor's base has shrunk,” The Australian said in a commentary to the Newspoll published in the newspaper, saying the party's popularity had fallen since the Aug. 21 election.
