澳大利亞新總理剛上任 自由黨民調降至10年來最低

Australians' support for the Coalition government has dropped to its lowest in a decade after it dumped Malcolm Turnbull as prime minister and installed Scott Morrison last Friday following a week of chaos, an opinion poll showed on Monday.

本週一公佈的一項民意調查顯示，在經歷了前任總理馬爾科姆·特恩布爾下臺、斯科特·莫里森擔任新總理的混亂的一週後，澳大利亞人民對聯合政府的支持率已降至10年來的最低水平。

The latest Newspoll, published by The Australian newspaper, also showed opposition Labor leader Bill Shorten, who had long trailed Turnbull, is now the preferred prime minister.

《澳大利亞人報》刊登的最新新聞民調也顯示，長期落後於特恩布爾的反對黨工黨領袖比爾·肖特現在是首選首相。

Morrison replaced Turnbull in a party-room vote last Friday, taking over as leader of the Liberal party after a week of political turmoil that led to the emergence of Australia's sixth prime minister in less than a decade.

上週五，莫里森在黨內投票中取代特恩布爾，成爲自由黨領袖。此前一週的政治動盪導致澳大利亞在不到10年的時間裏出現了第六位總理。

The Liberal-National Coalition's primary vote dropped four points to 33 percent, the Newspoll showed, while the two-party-preferred split between Labor and the Coalition blew out from 51-49 in favor of Labor two weeks ago to 56-44.

新聞民調顯示，自由黨-國家黨聯盟的初選票數下降了4個百分點，至33%，而工黨和聯合政府的兩黨首選分裂票從兩週前的51票對49票，升至56票對44票。

Morrison must call a federal election by May 2019, but could face by-elections in two seats before that as Turnbull has said he plans to leave parliament soon and former foreign minister Julie Bishop, who stepped down on the weekend, could also quit.

莫里森必須在2019年5月前召集一次聯邦大選，不過他可能要面臨兩個席位的遞補選舉，因爲前總理特特恩布爾表示他計劃很快就離開議會，而上週末卸任的前外交部長朱莉·畢曉普也可能離開。
