And, of course, yeah, this year we've certainly talked a lot about One Nation being up and up in the polls.
They've picked up record support when it comes to those polls anyway.
And it's sort of why this by-election is really interesting.
It's the first test, really, of voters having a say at a federal level about whether –
that actually translates into votes.
And Andrew, we'll get in a little bit of time who those candidates are because they've picked a really interesting candidate.
But that test, of course, they did very well in South Australia.
They did actually convert those polls into support.
Whether they do it here is a really big question.
And remember, of course, in the last term of parliament, Peter Dutton, we can't say Peter Dutton lost it, the Liberals lost the seat of Aston in Melbourne, which had been a long-term Liberal Party seat.
So when you lose seats like that, it really does become a bit of a hallmark for the leader.
I mean, we don't know whether the
Libs or the Nats will lose the seat of Farah.
Of course, that's all still up for grabs.
But when it comes to the stakes of this, they're really significant, both for Matt Canavan as the new leader of the Nats and for Angus Taylor as the new leader of the Libs.
They've all nominated now.
Yeah, it's a good question because, of course, they're in government.
And when it comes to the polls, they're leading everyone at the moment.
