New polling shows Australians are losing hope in their Labour led government ahead of an election middle of next year.

The Redbridge Poll found half of all voters think the country is headed in the wrong direction, with less than a third seeing it as on track.

Australian Correspondent Steve Price says this is very bad news for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Price says voters are concerned about the government’s focus and 6% of Australians agree strongly that the government is focused on the right issues.
