Stephen Conroy: Labor cannot afford to disregard the threat of One Nation
Former Labor minister Stephen Conroy spoke on the rise of One Nation in a potential leadership presentation in the House of Representatives and the Senate. “I think that the national party are facing extinction, I think the Liberal party if you look at the polls yesterday, are in dire, dire trouble," Mr Conroy told Sky News Australia. “They could be reduced below 20 seats if those two polls yesterday hold true. “You’ve got Labor absolutely threatened in our traditional working-class seats, we saw that in South Australia. “I don’t think Labor as a whole collective party … can afford to disregard it.”
