Over in Australia, opposition leader Peter Dutton is experiencing a boost in popularity with potential voters.
According to a new Newspoll survey, 41 percent of respondents are likely to back Dutton as their preferred Prime Minister over Anthony Albanese.
Albanese still leads with 45 percent of the vote, but disapproval for the Prime Minister is growing.
Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says people are getting sick of high interest rates and increased house prices with no sign of respite.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oliver Peterson, six PR Perth Life presenters with us.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hey Ollie, Hey Heather.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Okay, so the cop I mean, geez, I've forgotten about this.
But the cop who tasted the ninety four year old
ninety five year old is now on triumfled manslaughter and
the manslaughter trialer started.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeh, it has started. So this happened in Kerma last year.
You may remember Senior Constable Christian Whites. He's pleaded not
guilty out of the manslaughter of Claire Nolands. Now, this
was in an age care home. He arrived at the scene.
She has suffered symptoms. She's got dementia. She was moving
around the agecare home with her four wheeled walker frame
(00:35):
and she couldn't be located by the police when they
arrived just before five o'clock that morning. When they founder,
she was in the administration building, sitting and holding a knife. Now,
she did not say anything when she was spoken to.
She stood up from her chair, she moved slowly towards
the door with her walker holding the knife, and then
she's tased. Now she's obviously died as a result of
(00:56):
the tasering. I think a ninety five year old woman
who needs a walker frame holding a knife might not
necessarily be I wasn't there obviously, Heather. But I don't
think you're going to be too threatened if you're a
police officer. This is obviously all going to court. I mean,
he's saying he's done what he was meant to do,
He's done what he was trained to do. But we'll
obviously here in this case and he'll plead not guilty.
It'll be fascinating to hear the circumstances of exactly why
(01:18):
he decided to discharge that taser. It's expected to now
last for two to three weeks.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
The polls aren't looking good for Albo, are they.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
No, he's in strife. He's in big strife. And there's
a few different polls which are out today. But the
nuts and bolts of it are that now Peter Dutton
is the preferred Prime minister to Anthony Albanesi. And that
is the first time in all of the polling that's
been done since Albot was Prime Minister that Dutton's personal
popularity is now surging ahead of Anthony Albanesi. So the
(01:47):
PM has got a lot of work to do. And
I see you already today if you've got the Treasurer
Jim Chalmers out softening up the Australian public saying, look,
inflation was on its way down. We were hoping interstrates
were going to be cut. But now that Trump's the
president of the US, you know our economic plans, you know,
going to the bin. Well I don't think that's going
to fly with Australians. And I think a lot of
the scenario that we saw in the US election last
(02:08):
week head about. You know the fact interest rates that
are up, inflations going up. You can't put a roof
over your head. Governments of the day will say, you know,
there's so much we can do, but that's what's going
to kick you out of office. People are going to vote
with their feet. So look, this is fascinating. Peter Dutton,
I've got to say as an opposition leader, he has
been on message, very effective, very callous since it was
his entire shadow ministry team. So brace yourselves for this one.
(02:31):
I think elbow runs till May and he will call
the election after the Western Australian election where I am
because Labor will still absolutely walk it in and he'll
be here on the night of the election in March
the eighth, twenty twenty five, holding the hand of the
WA Premier Roger Cook. And then the next day he'll go,
let's go to the polls and let's keep that momentum
going and the wister Astralians and say, mate, your mate
(02:52):
is just vote yes. So I don't want to go
vote again in five weeks. Bugger off.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Tell me something, Ollie. I mean, I'm surprised that Peter
Dutton is doing so well in the pot because if
there's anything he reminds me of, it's Lord Voldemort. Yeah,
and I just wonder like saying that you prefer him
to Elbow is one thing, but when it actually comes
to ticking his name and choosing Voldemort as your prime
minister's they's really going to happen.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well well at the moment if the Poles are right,
I think that you've got to remember, you know, the
government has only three year terms obviously here in Australia,
and Albin Easy spent the first twelve months talking about
the voice and how important the voice was going to be,
and then it didn't get up. In the meantime, again,
people can't repay their mortgages. They can't even in w
hate the moment. You can't even find a roof to
(03:35):
put over your head. So I think there's a lot
of that. Hold on, what did you do? Like you've
just squandered a year on something now that you know
you highlighted as the most important issue, which absolutely it was.
Now he doesn't want to talk about anything to do
with Indigenous affairs in Australia because he knows the backlash.
So if it was so important eighteen months ago, why
isn't it any important today?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
No fair point. Listen, what the hell is going on
with Reagun? She says on Friday that she's retiring, and
then she turns up the tones and I concert in
front of all of these people in Melbourne on Saturday.
What's up?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
She says? I'm never going to stop. She's going to continue.
You know something really funny here. That is a brief aside.
I was in the high school musical with Raygun and
I only found out last week.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, she went to my school and I didn't know this.
She's the year below me. I was, of course the
pirate king in the Pirates of Penzance. Would you believe
because I'm also a triple from it. She was one
of the daughters. And someone said, you know Rachel Gun.
I was like, no, I don't know Rachel Gun. I said,
Raygun Eva knows Reagun. She went to my high school
and she was one of the I went back through
the program and I found her.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Can you see her in there?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, you can see her in there. You can see
me in there, So I know Raygun and I didn't
know an you Reyga. Now I'm phillymbarrassed.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Jess. We're going to double the amount. What if we
pay you? And I don't know that we do for
what you bring to the show, but if we do,
we've got to double it because you are famous.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Well you know, there you go, Raygun, and maybe Raygun
and I could come and do something for you in
New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Hey, you've got to head her up. You've got to
be like, yo, what's up? It's only from blah blah school.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, correct, But yeah, she's back, she's gone nowhere. Maybe
she'll come into a New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well jeez, why not. I mean, she's bizarre and completely
unpredictable like Trump, so maybe she will. Oliver, Thank you,
Oliver Peterson. Six PR Perth Life Present. Yeah. So she
turns up at the Stones and I concert, which is
a big show. And this is literally the day after
saying she's retiring and us being like, yeah, fair enough, No,
I mean you were terrible, It's okay that you retire.
Turns out, pulls out the Kangaroo, and actually her comic
(05:23):
timing on the Kangaroo was, frankly out the gate was
pretty good. But she's all over the show. And if
there's one thing I think, if there's one thing we're
starting to learn about ray Gun, is that this girl
knows how to get publicity a burg time For more
