Labor's support towers over coalition in Newspoll
The survey, published in The Australian, showed a 1.4 percentage point rise in Labor's primary vote since the election to 36 per cent while the coalition slipped from 31.8 per cent to 29 per cent.
The Greens remained steady at 12 per cent, as did the independents and minor parties category on 15 per cent, while One Nation was up 1.6 percentage points to eight per cent.
The 29 per cent primary vote number is the coalition's lowest reading in a Newspoll survey since November 1985.
The combined Labor and coalition primary vote total - at 65 per cent - is also at its lowest level in Newspoll history.
On a two-party-preferred basis, the Labor government has bolstered its lead of 55.2 per cent to 44.8 per cent on May 3 to 57 per cent to 43 per cent in the Newspoll.
Mr Albanese's pre-election Newspoll net approval rating of minus 10 improved in the survey published on Monday to zero, with 47 per cent of voters satisfied with his performance and an equal number dissatisfied.
The poll has new coalition leader Sussan Ley's net approval rating at minus seven, an upgrade from her predecessor Peter Dutton's minus 24 result, but 23 per cent of respondents indicated it was too early to judge her performance.
The survey of 1264 voters was conducted online between July 14 and July 17.
The 48th parliament has its official opening in Canberra on Tuesday.
MPs and senators were welcomed by Governor-General Sam Mostyn at Government House on Sunday as part of formalities before the start of the new session.
Labor will have an increased majority in the new term, holding 94 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives after its election triumph on May 3.
Support for Labor has crept up as backers of the coalition have retreated, according to the first Newspoll since Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's election win in May.

India-US oil spat could delay Albanese-Trump meeting
A deepening spat between the US and India could cancel this year's Quad leaders' summit, potentially delaying a planned meeting between Donald Trump and Anthony Albanese and undermining the region's premier democratic bloc against China's rise. The Albanese government is concerned by the escalating tensions after US President Donald Trump threatened to slug Indian exports to America with an extra 25 percentage points in tariffs unless it curbs purchases of Russian crude oil.

Hard lesson as crumbling state schools face $441m fix
Angry teachers demanding better pay and conditions are being exposed to leaking roofs, crumbling walls and mould at schools because a lack of funding. A day after the biggest teachers' strike in Queensland history, a damning report has revealed a staggering $441 million repair bill to fix schools across the state. The independent assessor's report claimed a third of state school assets were in poor condition and warned of health risks if it didn't improve. Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek blamed the previous Labor government for the backlog of "unfit for purpose" school facilities that will take years to fix. "We've heard about ceilings with exposed joists, termites in window frames, leaking roofs, gutters ... that are of real concern," he told a budget estimates hearing on Thursday. "Now the repair bill is more than $441 million. "It's higher because delays and dilly-dallying have left infrastructure worse than anticipated." The Comprehensive Review of Infrastructure Renewal report, commissioned by the former Labor government in 2022, detailed the state of schools endured by unhappy teachers. Thousands of educators walked off the job across the state on Wednesday demanding better pay and conditions after wage deal talks broke down. Mr Langbroek on Thursday said the repair backlog was another issue teachers had to deal with after the independent report warned there was no quick fix. Money had been diverted to new facilities over the years and insufficient funding to address debilitating infrastructure had led to further decay at schools, the report said. Hundreds of schools needed repair, with some featuring damaged stairs, termite issues and mould. "The current asset condition summary is representative of an infrastructure asset base with extensive deterioration that needs significant investment in renewal now and for the coming years," the report said. If the repair backlog continued, health and safety issues may arise and the bill could blow out to more than $900 million by 2028/29, the report warned. After assessors visited 1266 state schools, 32.2 per cent of assets were rated poor, 37 per cent fair and 29.2 per cent good. An asset is rated "poor" if it is badly deteriorated and components fail frequently. Queensland schools built after December 2017 and new buildings constructed after October 2021 were not factored into the assessment. A four-year investment proposal to address repairs was outlined in the report. The Liberal National government would invest $589 million towards facility renewal, legislative obligations, safety and upgrade programs in the coming years, Mr Langbroek said. The education minister is seeking to continue negotiations with the teachers union, which has not ruled out further industrial action. The Queensland government has referred the pay negotiations to the Industrial Relations Commission for conciliation. More than 50,000 union members abandoned their classrooms on Wednesday after voting to strike for the first time in 16 years.
