CANBERRA: Australia’s far-right One Nation party regained the lead in a national opinion poll as support for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s centre-left government slipped against a backdrop of elevated inflation and interest-rate increases.

The ruling Labor party’s support declined to 27 per cent in the latest Newspoll carried by The Australian newspaper, while One Nation held steady at 28 per cent. Backing for the traditional main conservative coalition edged up to 21 per cent, according to the poll of 1,200 voters conducted last week, which had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.

堪培拉：在通货膨胀高企和利率上升的背景下，澳大利亚极右翼政党一国党在全国民意调查中重新取得领先地位，而总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯的中左翼政府的支持率则有所下滑。

根据《澳大利亚人报》刊登的最新Newspoll民调，执政的工党支持率下降至27%，而一国党的支持率则保持在28%。上周对1200名选民进行的民调显示，传统保守党联盟的支持率小幅上升至21%，该民调的误差幅度为正负3.2个百分点。
