Daniel James

Is the Coalition's opportunity to leverage this budget and become a real force in politics again, is that something that's a possibility?

So anyone who understands kind of like the fabric of Australia and multicultural Australia in particular,

understands that dynamic and understands that story.

What explains his politics on this?

Has he forgotten that?

Is he not aware that that's what happens in Australia?

That aspiration of people coming here and making a better life here is impossible without government support?

And do you think that chasing the One Nation votes by adopting their rhetoric and policies may just end up validating One Nation as a party even more?

Yeah, absolutely.

And you've said, Coz, that this might be the last or second last budget reply delivered by a Liberal MP.

That's a pretty extraordinary thought.

Do you think One Nation will overtake the Liberals as the main opposition voice?

From a seat perspective, how many seats are we looking at that one nation could actually end up at the next election with?

Cos, thanks for coming on the show and taking us through the reaction to the budget, which was aimed at young people like us.

7am is a daily show from Solstice Media.

It's made by Atticus Bastow, Arielle Richards, Chris Dangate, Crystal Keller, Ruby Jones, Travis Evans, Zoltan Fecho, and me, Daniel James.
