The Coalition's sustained attack on Labor over border security appears to have failed to improve its electoral fortunes, with a new poll showing Labor would still win an election if it were held today.
Labor remains ahead of the Liberal-National coalition with an unchanged two-party preferred vote of 53-47 per cent, according to the latest Newspoll published by The Australian on Sunday night.
But Mr Morrison has dismissed suggestions the result shows the government hasn't been getting through to voters with its argument that Labor wants to weaken Australia's border protection program.
The rhetoric came after Labor joined crossbenchers to pass a law changing the medical transfer process for sick asylum seekers.
