a listener production. Hi, Natasha Belling with you and welcome to the afternoon edition of The Briefing. Coming up in our deep dive, Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party has made history, shaking up Australia's political landscape after winning the by-election in Farrah over the weekend. We speak with Senator Hanson on what's next and why she's ready to govern. But first, let's check the afternoon headlines this Monday, the 11th of May. One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce is warning the party is now looking at winning votes in Western Sydney after candidate David Farley won the Farah by-election over the weekend. One Nation won the rural New South Wales seat, which has been held by the coalition for more than 70 years.

The by-election was forced after local MP Susan Lee resigned from politics when she was dumped as opposition leader. Mr Joyce warning the party is focusing on a number of other key seats now, including Western Sydney, in the lead-up to the 2028 federal election.
Barnaby Joyce 1:08
We are very much in the mind for Western suburbs of Sydney. I was talking to people from the Western suburbs of Sydney last night, both on the ground.

What recent political changes did One Nation experience in Australia?

Barnaby Joyce 1:16
To be quite frank, I was even talking to potential candidates.

High-profile media boss Anthony Catalano did not appear in person in court today because of concerns over his mental health. The 59-year-old appeared via video link for a short hearing at Melbourne Magistrates Court on charges of assaulting and threatening to kill his wife. Mr Catalano's lawyer told the court his client had expressed remorse and was on drugs at the time he allegedly assaulted his wife in March. Mr Catalano also recently attended a 28-day rehabilitation program. The matter is set to return to court in June. US President Donald Trump has rejected the latest peace proposal from Iran, taking to social media to say of Iran's plan, quote, I don't like it, totally unacceptable. President Trump's comment reportedly came just hours after Iran sent a counter-proposal to the US.

and it extends the uncertainty around the Middle East. The US president will be travelling to China later this week for a two-day visit, where he'll meet with President Xi Jinping. The two are expected to discuss Iran, Taiwan, artificial intelligence and nuclear weapons. Australian pharmaceutical giant CSL has recorded its biggest one-day loss on record. The company's share price is down around 17% in just a single day, meaning that the stock has fallen by almost 60% over the past 12 months. The losses follow revised revenue predictions for the company and the ongoing fallout from the Middle East. And Delta Goodrum has dropped a sneak peek of her performance ahead of the semi-final for Eurovision.
Barnaby Joyce 3:00
Welcome to Vienna, Delta Goodrum and the delegation of Australia.
Natarsha Belling 3:08
Delta is set to perform her recent hit single Eclipse in front of a global audience of more than 160 million viewers. She'll take to the stage early Friday morning, our time for semi-final two. Now it's time to get into our deep dive with Senator Pauline Hanson on One Nation's historic win in the Farah by-election on Saturday. Senator Hanson says the voters have spoken and now the party has its sights on other key seats with a stern warning for the major parties. Senator Hanson, thanks so much for joining us. How do you feel after the election result on the weekend with the by-election in Farah?

What are Barnaby Joyce's comments on One Nation's future in Western Sydney?

Pauline Hanson 3:48
Well, I think the same as people in Farah, jubilant, excited and thrilled with the result that we got. We had a 32% swing towards us, which is extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary for the seat to have been in the hands of the coalition government for 77 years.
Natarsha Belling 4:06
What do you think was the deciding vote for people in Farah? We know rural people are broken right now. What do you think was top of the agenda for them?
Pauline Hanson 4:14
Well, it was a factor of many things. I think they feel completely ignored by the major political parties. They promise us all the time nothing happens. What's happening in the electorate is the water issue. Now, the Murray-Darling Basin is a huge issue.
