However, Trump&#8217;s tariffs on Canadian goods have altered voter preferences.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n In Australia, Sportsbet considers Labor the frontrunner for forming a minority government, with their odds set at $2.37.<br \/>\n compared to $3 for the Coalition<br \/>\n .\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n A Labor victory seems unlikely at $6, compared to $4.50 for the Coalition, considering the ruling party\u2019s position.<br \/>\n enters the election with a two-seat lead<br \/>\n .\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n To be in the strongest position to create a minority government alongside conservative crossbench members such as Bob Katter, the Liberal and National parties must secure an additional 13 seats, which would require a swing of four percent.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n Mr Dutton&#8217;s coalition would require a margin of 52% to 48%, post-preferences, over labor to win.<br \/>\n collect the required number of seats from the government<br \/>\n , considering his team lost secure positions to candidates from the teal party in 2022.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n The Newspoll indicates that the Coalition now leads at 51% compared to Labor\u2019s 49%, based on a two-party preferred measure.<br \/>\n taken since January<br \/>\n .\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n The elections should take place by May 17th, following the dissolution of Parliament shortly after Tuesday evening\u2019s budget announcement.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n Since 1931, no federal administration has been ousted from power following only one term.\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-document-id=\"cms\/api\/amp\/image\/AA1BAjla\" data-reference=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AA1BAjla.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nRead more<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Labor now has an even-money probability of winning reelection.
