UTEGATE BACKFIRES ON COALITION
The ‘Utegate' controversy, which has been used by Malcolm Turnbull to attack the credibility of the Prime Minister, has backfired on the Coalition and their standing has slipped. The majority of voters view Malcolm Turnbull's involvement in Utegate in a negative light and many would appear to give the benefit of the doubt to Kevin Rudd.
