  • New polling shows voters are scathing of the government's attempts to address the cost of housing and wage growth, and a new register will be set up requiring telcos to recognise and block scam texts.

The article from Crikey discusses the current political landscape in Australia, focusing on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's handling of key issues like housing and wages. It highlights a recent poll indicating a decline in Albanese's approval ratings, attributed to public dissatisfaction with the government's response to the housing crisis and wage stagnation. The piece also touches on a scam text message issue, where Australians are receiving fraudulent texts purporting to be from the government, urging them to register for a non-existent housing or wage support program. This has led to increased scrutiny on government communication strategies and cybersecurity measures. Additionally, the article critiques the opposition's lack of constructive policy alternatives, suggesting that while Albanese's popularity wanes, the political opposition has not effectively capitalized on this opportunity.
