Welcome to Fear and Greed, business news you can use. Today, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson says she's willing to work with the Liberal and National parties and would use the Donald Trump template to rid Australia of illegal immigrants. US casualties in the Middle East war over the past fortnight hits 100 and Emirates claims it's cracked the code for a good night's sleep. in an economy class flight. Plus, lithium prices take a dive and the owner of the latest boom large language model, Kimi K3, suspends new subscriptions because of surging demand. It is Wednesday, the 22nd of July, 2026. I'm Michael Thompson and good morning, Sean Aylmer. Good morning, Michael. Sure, in the main story this morning, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson says she is willing to work with the Liberals and Nationals to defeat the federal Labor government and said that she has what it takes to be Prime Minister, but she does not want to be included in any potential coalition cabinet.
While she said that she would be quite happy to work with the Libs or the Nats to get rid of the Labor Green government, that's a direct quote, The opposition leader, Angus Taylor, isn't actually inviting her into cabinet.
What did Pauline Hanson say about working with Liberals and Nationals and using a 'Trump template' for immigration?
I think this is all just a bit... It's just getting in ahead of time to avoid those awkward conversations.
Perhaps. Hanson has just returned from a European holiday where she spent time with Australia's richest person, Gina Reinhart, and with British far-right activist Tommy Robinson. She wouldn't say who funded her trip other than it wasn't the taxpayer. and she applauded Reinhart as being a great Australian. Hansen said she agreed with how Donald Trump has handled illegal immigrants and suggested she'd use a similar template to tackle the number of people living in Australia without valid visas. She doesn't agree with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. She has previously been sympathetic to Vladimir Putin. And she also said she wouldn't describe her politics as extreme. She wants to embark on a listing tour around the country.
This is all getting more and more relevant now because people are thinking about One Nation. Now, there was a SEC Newgate Mood of the Nation survey of nearly 2,000 voters yesterday. About 70% reckon that the country is heading in the wrong direction and 6 in 10% believe immigration levels are too high. And, of course, One Nation on immigration does very well in the polls.
Yeah, yeah. And those stats from The Australian yesterday line up with what we saw in the news poll figures earlier in the week as well, showing that One Nation has increased. again rebounded in some of the polls. And if this trajectory does continue, the party is expected to do well in upcoming state elections in Victoria later this year, New South Wales early next year. Pauline Hanson was in Perth yesterday and Honestly, Sean, like her or loathe her, she has plenty of fans of what is essentially just plain speaking wisdom, right? There are just people lining up to see her speak at the moment. The other main player in the party is Barnaby Joyce, who is the former deputy PM who joined One Nation earlier in the year and has kind of become the elder statesman of the party.
Yeah.
Well, that's what's pretty incredible. Now, obviously, he was in the news yesterday after his interview on ABC's 7.30 report on Monday night. That's the one where mid-interview he shouted at his dog. If you haven't seen it, I'm sure everyone's seen it.
Just look it up. It is extraordinary. That has gone global. Now, Sean, I was looking around to see where it's made it. It's made it into the UK papers. Oh, Barnaby.
The amazing thing, though, Barnaby Joyce all of a sudden is the person picking up after Pauline Hanson. Now, that's slightly ironic given he used to be the flamethrower in the coalition. And now he's kind of the flame or the fire dowser, I suppose. Over the past few days, Joyce has spent plenty of time trying to explain and rationalise comments from Hanson, particularly over the White Australia policy and mass deportations.
