Pauline Hanson’s One Nation has caught up to the major parties, with NSW voters vastly preferring them over Labor and the Coalition.

2GB Afternoons host Michael McLaren says it’s becoming clear that the Australian public and the media can no longer ignore the Queensland senator’s party, pointing to the Nationals under Matt Canavan and his approach.

“He’s zeroed in on the threat posed by One Nation to his party’s survival, and the line of attack is very similar to the one used by the late Ron Boswell all those decades ago,” he said.
