Overview
- Roy Morgan reports One Nation leading Victoria’s primary vote at 26.5% to Labor’s 25.5%, a scenario the pollster says could produce a hung parliament with preferences decisive.
- Newspoll and YouGov snapshots in South Australia put One Nation’s primary support near a quarter of voters, threatening Liberal seats while Labor holds a commanding statewide lead.
- Nationally, Resolve records Labor at 32% with One Nation level with the Coalition on 23%, reinforcing the minor party’s unprecedented reach across multiple jurisdictions.
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned Pauline Hanson’s Feb 16 claim that there are no “good” Muslims, escalating political pushback as Hanson’s comments draw national scrutiny.
- Operational headwinds persist, with Victorian disclosures showing less than $100 in donations last year even as Labor elders urge a tactical move in the Farrer byelection to preference Liberals ahead of One Nation.
