As an election draws near, Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese takes aim on issues that have dominated the summer - the surge in Omicron paired with a shortage of rapid antigen tests.
"I say this to the Government - if they're saying to Australians that they're not worth a few dollars to get a rapid antigen test, then they are kidding themselves."
While Labor pushes a pledge of free rapid tests for all Australians, it's still unable to say how much that would potentially cost.
Labor's primary vote increasing to 41 per cent - the Coalition's falling by two to 34. In the two party preferred category, the Coalition trails the Opposition 44 to 56.
Its worst result since September, 2018, following the leadership coup.
Scott Morrison also losing gains as the preferred Prime Minister, just slightly ahead of Anthony Albanese.
The poll also shows a majority of voters see Labor as the better party to lead the nation out of the pandemic.
But opinion polls have been wrong before.
Labor's Health spokesperson Mark Butler says his party is focusing on election day.
"The only poll ultimately that counts is on election day but I will say this - Australians are getting sick of a Prime Minister who never takes responsibility, never listens to expert advice and always goes missing in action in the middle of a crisis"
