The August 21 election will decide the fate of the government's planned 30 percent mining tax on big iron ore and coal projects, and its plans for a $33 billion national broadband network. The opposition has said it will abandon both. The widely watched Nielsen poll, published in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, showed Labor leading the opposition by 53 to 47 percent on a 'two-party' basis, eliminating minor parties under Australia's transferable voting system. Previously, the Nielsen poll had Prime Minister Julia Gillard's party trailing the opposition Liberal-National coalition for two weeks running. The latest poll, a swing to Labor of four percentage points, follows a week of strong campaigning by Australia's first female prime minister and a public reconciliation a week ago with her predecessor Kevin Rudd, who she ousted in a party coup in June. The poll showed Labor's primary vote was 40 percent, up four percentage points, with the opposition at 41 percent and the Greens at 12 percent. As preferred prime minister, Gillard led opposition leader Tony Abbott by 52 percent to 38 percent. On Wednesday, the latest Reuters Poll Trend showed Labor narrowly ahead with 50.1 percent support against 49.9 percent for the opposition, as the tightest race since 1998 pointed to the possibility no single party will form a government. Despite Saturday's strong poll showing for Labor, analysts say the result may be close and may depend on key marginal seats.
