Liberals call to mobilise after poll indicates One Nation defeat

Pressure is mounting on the Liberal Party as a new poll indicates the Liberals are at risk of being wiped out by One Nation.

A RedBridge Group and Accent Research poll of more than 6000 voters shows One Nation would win between 46 and 59 seats if a federal election was held today.

The research found that the Coalition would not retain a single seat in its former strongholds of Queensland and Western Australia, and would have no seats in South Australia and Tasmania.

The biggest surge would be in Queensland, where the party could win up to 21 seats.

The result would be a remarkable achievement for a party that has never won a lower house seat at a general election.

One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce told ABC News it was “hubristic and way, way, way ahead of ourselves” to assume where the party would be at the next election.

“What’s before us is an incredible responsibility placed on us by the Australian people.

“We’ll rise to the responsibility, but we’re not going to get carried away with what may or may not be down the track.”

The poll indicates Labor would win between 70 and 82 seats, a sizeable drop from its current 94, and the Coalition would win between seven and 21 seats.

Accent Research political scientist Shaun Ratcliff told ABC News if the poll reflected how Australians voted at a federal election, it would wipe out the two-party system.

“It’s intense fragmentation,” he said.

“We see the Labor Party probably winning a majority, but only just, but with a real significant chance of a minority Labor government.”

 

At a Liberal Party conference in Victoria, Angus Taylor told party faithful the party must rid the nation and state of “rotten” Labor governments.

“If the vote sprays, Labor stays,” he told the crowd.

“I have never seen a better time in my political career to recruit supporters and members to the Liberal Party.

“Let’s get them putting corflutes up, let’s get them on the booths.”
