Prime Minister Scott Morrison has released a video warning asylum seekers against trying to enter Australia illegally.


But last week's win in Canberra doesn't seem to have helped Labor with voters.

The ALP's lead over the coalition has been cut to the slimmest of margins, according to an opinion poll conducted as debate raged over border protection.

Labor leads the Morrison government 51 to 49 on a two-party preferred basis in the latest Ipsos poll published by the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age newspapers on Sunday night.
