It did have One Nation at around 50 seats-ish out of 150.
It had the coalition on 12, which is catastrophic.
And it had Labor with a bare majority.
That was in a median seat range.
So they've got a lot of ground to cover if they are going to sort of form government or be a government with a minority coalition support.
But at the moment, it's just difficult to see them getting into that urban territory.
And most of Australian electorate is urban seats.
I think Bill is right, but when you're talking about what's underpinning the One Nation vote...
There's a lot of mood sentiments that we test and track regularly for the Australian Financial Review.
And the common one is right direction, wrong track, which we ask.
Is Australia heading in the right direction or the wrong direction?
At the moment, it's around 54% wrong direction.
So a majority of Australians think we're heading in the wrong direction.
We also ask, and it's come out of qualitative research, where respondents saw photos in marginal seats say, I don't think my children will have it as well as I did.
So we tested that.
Do you think the next generation will be better off, worse off or the same as their parents' generation?
You know, 63% said the next generation will be worse off than their parents.
So that's an entrenched negative mood sentiment out there, a protracted one.
And that's really underpinning a lot of One Nation support.
And another theme in focus groups that's come up is when you're talking about the federal political system in general, they say just burn it all down.
