Absolutely, yeah.

And it's no surprise that local news companies and organisations here, including the one that we work for, has been among those to welcome this announcement.

The Guardian Essential Survey has quizzed just over 1,000 people, with the majority of respondents saying they approve of how she is leading the party.

The support has outstripped that for Anthony Albanese and Angus Taylor, with 41% approving of how the PM is doing, the opposition leader getting 34%, while for the first time in this specific poll...

One Nation has beaten the Coalition on primary votes to become the second most popular party in the country.
