Labor’s 36 per cent primary vote in the Eden-Monaro by-election underlines how the ALP is “being deserted by hard working Australians” according to Sky News contributor Campbell Newman.

Labor’s Kristy McBain secured a victory in the by-election on Sunday afternoon, but the party recorded its lowest primary vote in the seat for 30 years.

Mr Newman said the election results equally highlight an issue for the Liberal Party,

“A prime minister with a stratospheric approval rating hasn’t moved the needle”.

“There needs to be some soul searching about why this is the case in the Liberal Party”.
