One Nation and the implosion of the Liberal Party
Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
The shock result in the Farrer byelection has exposed a deep crisis inside Australian conservatism, with One Nation winning its first ever federal lower-house seat as the Liberal Party’s vote collapsed from 43 per cent to just 12 per cent in barely a year. We examine the growing backlash against the Liberal and National parties across regional Australia, the long-term rise of Pauline Hanson and One Nation, and how housing stress, stagnant wages, culture wars and political disillusionment are reshaping Australian politics. As conservative voters abandon the Coalition in growing numbers, we discuss whether the biggest threat to the Liberal Party now comes not from Labor, but from the forces emerging inside its own fractured political base. #AUSPOL
