00:00Even before Peter Dutton's back down, Federal Labor had planned on pursuing this issue on
00:06day 10 of the election campaign.
00:09Labor has relentlessly attacked the Coalition over this policy and overnight released analysis
00:14which argued that limiting work from home arrangements disproportionately affected
00:19women.
00:20It had planned on continuing that line of attack throughout the campaign, but the Coalition
00:24has sought to mitigate that by backing down.
00:26Now Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will spend the day in Melbourne today, his second visit
00:31this campaign.
00:32The ALP brand at a state level has really suffered and Federal Labor is worried about
00:37that and about being punished at the ballot box as a result.
00:41It's facing threats to its left and to its right as it tries to sandbag marginal seats
00:45like Aston and Chisholm.
00:47But the Albanese campaign will go into week two of this election campaign with some momentum
00:53with the latest news poll results putting Labor ahead of the Coalition 52 to 48 after
00:58preferences.
00:59This is significant because this is the result that delivered Labor a majority government
01:04in 2022 and all polls now have Labor either ahead of the Coalition or gaining ground.
01:10So this indicates a shift in voter sentiment as we head into week two of this campaign.
