One Nation secures $1 Million campaign blitz as Coalition snubs seat deal | 9 News Australia

Federal Politics News: Newly elected Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has firmly shut down suggestions from within his own party ranks to enter tactical seat negotiations with Pauline Hanson’s One Nation. The debate was sparked by Coalition backbencher Tony Pasin, a prominent supporter of Taylor, who urged the Liberal leadership to sit down with One Nation to coordinate a unified strategy ahead of the next federal election. Pasin argued that collaborating on seat preferences is crucial to avoid dividing the conservative vote and ensuring the Coalition can successfully oust the Albanese Labor Government. While Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie joined Taylor in labelling the discussion "premature," Pauline Hanson herself appeared highly receptive to the concept, stating upon her arrival in Perth that she is ready to work with any political entity committed to removing what she termed a "toxic Labor-Greens government." The push for a conservative alliance coincides with a massive financial surge for the right-wing populist party. One Nation's provocative "Fire a Liar" advertising campaign has spectacularly backfired on its critics, raking in more than $1 million in public donations in less than 24 hours. The fundraising blitz has triggered intense protests outside a One Nation event in Western Australia, with police separating demonstrators chanting "migrants are welcome, racists are not" from party supporters. Reacting to the development from London, Foreign Affairs Minister and Labor Senator Penny Wong dismissed the significance of One Nation's fundraising milestones. In a tense exchange with the network, Senator Wong stated that her focus remains entirely on dismantling Hanson’s lack of policy solutions rather than her campaign coffers, accusing the minor party of looking to "engender and stoke anger."
