No, I didn't.
I mean, I saw them come and go in Queensland back in the day, Daniel, and my experience was that once people really examine the policies of a party, when they get into the voting booth, then they might find that there are elements of One Nation that don't actually stack up.
Again, no surprises that I'm not a supporter of Ms Hanson and her views at all.
And, you know, in a country which has had First Peoples living here for, well, it's upwards of 65, nearly 70,000 now and probably go a little bit higher, where a significant proportion of us are recently arrived immigrants, to have a party that's got a race-based component to it, I find particularly objectionable.
But at the same time, and I'm not providing succour to those that vote for or are thinking of voting for Hanson, I understand the frustrations and I know that there are frustrations out there, particularly in the regions, for people who don't think they're currently well served by the mainstream political parties.
So, you know, we're in for a really vigorous debate and it's a bit of a debate about the soul of the country, isn't it?
And I think that's what AUKUS is as well.
So it's a good time to be talking to you.
And we will welcome and work with anybody as we continue to explore this important issue of $368 billion worth of taxpayers' money going on submarines that may or may not get built.
ABC Listen, podcasts, radio, news, music and more.
This is the biggest amount of money that the Commonwealth of Australia will ever spend in our lifetime to deliver submarines that may not arrive in time at all to be useful.
And if they are to arrive, have so many questions and issues around them.
