Amy Remeikis

He did not change that while he was nationals leader and while he had a lot of influence over the nationals.

The coalition, who have been in government for most of the time over the last 30 years...

have not changed that in terms of the national electorates.

They have not been able to create new industry, new opportunity or address the inequality between the regions and the more urban seats in Australia.

Rob Harris from the Nine newspapers went to Griffith, which is one of the more multicultural seats within FARA, and he did a profile ahead of the by-election where the general view that he was quoting from voters was, F the lot of yous, which is, I think, really indicative of people just saying to the major parties, we are done with what you're offering.

The regions and the outer suburban seats is always where One Nation has had its biggest success.

But the problem now for the major parties is that people a little bit more in from the regions are starting to listen to One Nation.

They're really showing a lot of discontent with the status quo.

And Anthony Albanese is starting to weave in a lot more.

People are telling us they no longer want to see things done as they always have been.

And we have to respond to that change.

He has a little bit more room to respond to that change than the Liberal Party do, who are under a lot of threat from One Nation and the Nationals, who may very well find themselves wiped out at the next election.

But Labor would be very foolish to ignore these signs, particularly if they don't start to give people a little bit more hope that there is going to be economic reform that addresses the inequality and the inequity in Australia's economy.

Yeah, it's really interesting because we can also go back to Trump and what happened in the United States.

You know, like Pauline Hanson was being Trump before Trump was Trump, you know, at least in Australia.

And Nigel Farage is probably the closest Pauline Hanson character in the United Kingdom, having played a major role in...

in Brexit.

And what links the three movements is that economic discontent.

It is blaming people who are not necessarily to blame, like migrants, for government failures in infrastructure and policy over the last three decades.

And we want people that want to be Australians.
