Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
A listener production.
Hey, Chris Bew with you. Welcome to The Briefing. Australia has become a global hotspot for the construction of data centres with more than 90 projects currently in the pipeline. And while it's great for local jobs and investment, it also comes with a plea that we ensure a green future for the facilities.
So it's an opportunity for Australia to really think deeply about if we are attractive because we've got great renewables, we've got this stable political environment, we've got land, etc. How can we help the world get some of these things right?
A chat about how data centres can be green is coming up in the second half of this episode. First, though, let's get into the headlines with Sasha Barber-Gatt on Thursday the 4th of June.
Hey, Chris, support for One Nation has surged among women, the wealthy and inner city dwellers, according to new analysis. A year's worth of resolved political monitors has been analysed, also finding young voters are increasingly turning to Pauline Hanson's party, going from just 4% of 18 to 35-year-olds after last year's election to 15% now.
The typical One Nation voter, though, is still a person over 55 living in a rural or regional area and either retired, unemployed or a tradie.
The analysis covers polls conducted between May 2025 and May this year. In the first surveys right after the election, 7% of men and 6% of women said they voted for the minor party. Those numbers have now surged to 22% of males and 24% of females. There's also been an uptick in support from the inner city with a nine-fold increase over the last 12 months to 18%.
Regional and rural voters are still the biggest proportion of supporters though.
The analysis has also found that both Labor and the Coalition have shed voters to Hanson's party. We talk a lot about how the Coalition is struggling. They have obviously copped the biggest hit when it comes to their support and their primary vote. But Labor too is facing the issue of losing voters to this party as well.

Chapter 2: What factors are driving the surge in One Nation's support?
It is translating to positions in parliament right across the country. But I just have this feeling that maybe it is in direct response to what we're seeing politically now. I don't know if it has longevity. So I'll be really interested to see what transpires over the next three to four years. But just to reiterate, we would like to speak to you.
If you're listening to this, we can keep you anonymous. But we just want to hear from you and why you've changed your support to One Nation recently.
Overseas now, and Donald Trump has confirmed he did unleash on Benjamin Netanyahu during their phone call after the Israeli Prime Minister ordered more strikes on Lebanon. US outlet Axios has been reporting Trump was furious on a call with Netanyahu earlier this week, calling him effing crazy, that he would be in prison if it weren't for him, and that he was saving his ass, among other things.
The US President was asked about it on the Pod Force One podcast last night. Here's what he had to say.
I did. I wouldn't say angry. I was a little bit perturbed at his constantly fighting with Lebanon. You know, at some point I said, Bibi, we got to stop this. We got to stop it. I like Bibi a lot. And I've worked very well with him. We had a, you know, I'm a wartime president. He's a wartime prime minister. Very important part of the world. And I think we've done, you know, very well.
We've gotten along very well together.
Yes, civil questions have also been put to Netanyahu, who in an interview overnight said he would not be getting into the details of the conversation, but he did have this to say.
So we have common goals. Sometimes we have, as in the best of families, you have these tactical disagreements. We always find a way to work them out and we do so as great friends. We can disagree in the morning and by the afternoon we have common action.
So I was going to say, has your relationship at all shifted with him?
