Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's leadership status has been threatened by the latest Newspoll, which shows the Coalition suffering its 29th consecutive defeat in the poll against Labor.
The Coalition government has suffered its 29th consecutive Newspoll loss.
That is one short of the number cited by Malcolm Turnbull as one of his reasons for toppling predecessor Tony Abbott in 2015.
The latest Newspoll conducted over the weekend reveals the only change in voting patterns is a slight swing towards Labor.
Labor's primary vote increased by a point to 39 per cent, while the Coalition remained on 37.
The latest results come as shock to the Coalition, which had hoped Labor's controversial tax policy affecting pensioners would lead to an electoral backlash.
