Coalition has ‘vacated the field’ as Labor Party benefits from split

Sky News contributor Joe Hildebrand says the Coalition has “vacated the field” which is helping the Labor Party.

“They are not as strong as their parliamentary numbers, and their opinion polling shows at face value,” Mr Hildebrand told Sky News host Paul Murray.

“Both those things are not just because Labor is doing well, they are because the Coalition has vacated the field.”
