0:00Well, this staggering surge that you've
0:01seen in Australia in the polls of this
0:03One Nation party going pretty much from
0:06nowhere to leading in some national
0:08polls and you can see an example of it
0:10there, the One Nation party on 30% with
0:13Labour one point behind. This is now
0:15being followed up in actual by-election
0:19results because you've seen already
0:21Australia a huge backlash against the
0:25levels of immigration. You can see 64%
0:28of voters in Australia want lower
0:30immigration, just 8% wanting to see a
0:34small or large increase in numbers.
0:38And it has led to this extraordinary
0:40surge for One Nation that is now seen a
0:43very dramatic by-election victory in a
0:46state parliament. So, this is a One
0:48Nation gain from Labour uh in the
0:52Western Australia parliament. And you
0:55can see that follows up from the
0:57national polls that have shown
1:00the One Nation party led by Pauline
1:02Hanson
1:03overtaking at Labour in some national
1:06polls and a big part of this is the
1:08issue of immigration. And you can see
1:11here just what a huge deal,
1:13really massive result this was in terms
1:17of Australian politics. This orange
1:20tsunami has been described as of One
1:22Nation sort of sweeping Australia right
1:26now, really is shaking up everything to
1:29the point there where you got people
1:30actually warning One Nation as being
1:33dangerous. That's the sort of language
1:36you're hearing now from their
1:37opposition. But yeah, a quite
1:40unbelievable by-election results that
1:42shows you this One Nation surge is for
1:44real.
1:45>> But what I can say is the support that
1:48we got tonight and Barnaby was there
1:50with me and Malcolm Roberts, and Shawn
1:52Bell and my daughter, we all turned up
1:54there to support them. The support that
1:56we got One Nation was overwhelming,
1:58outstanding. And people right across
2:01Australia, and I was in Singleton and
2:03Dubbo and and where I've gone, the the
2:05people have had a gutful of this
2:08Albanese Labor government. They want
2:10them gone. You have no idea what the
2:13groundswell of supporters is happening
2:15out there because they they just have
2:18had a gutful. And this is a clear
2:20indication of what's happening of the
2:2122% swing against the Labor Party in WA.
2:25They want change. People want change.
2:29>> How much though at a state by-election
2:31do you think Albanese was the the
2:33primary reason why you've seen the surge
2:35of support? Are there local factors as
2:38well that is driving rusted-on Labor
2:40voters to decide they want to vote for
2:43One Nation?
2:44>> Well, this was a staunch Labor seat
2:46since 1989. So, it's in Labor's hands
2:49for that long. The same as with Farrer
2:51as well, 77 years in the coalition's
2:55held that seat. So, the both the major
2:57political parties are on the nose. The
2:59people are hurting. I mean extremely
3:02hurting. It's cost of living,
3:03everything. Um they're worried about the
3:05future whether their kids can own a
3:06home. Um the cost of groceries gone up.
3:09So, you look at your staples have gone
3:11up around about 40 45 even up to 50%
3:14your staples gone up plus your
3:15insurance, everything that's gone up.
3:17So, people can't afford it anymore. And
3:20you've got to blame a lot of this coming
3:22from the the federal government. That's
3:24where these
3:26policies are coming from. Now,
3:29yes, there are some state issues in it,
3:31but I think the main hurt and pain is
3:33coming from the Albanese Labor
3:34government, the Chris Bowen, and this uh
3:37climate change policies.
3:40Um
3:40cost of electricity, it's the it's the
3:42guts of everything. That's what's
3:44happening with that. And to hear the
3:46hear the minister though over there who
3:48say, "Oh, well, we've we've introduced
3:50over 300,000 jobs." What a load of
3:52rubbish that is.
3:54The government doesn't introduce jobs.
3:56It is businesses that create jobs.
