It's either the White Australia policy or "Stop The Boats" with offshore jails, so that's something nice we're helping with
Trump on policy proposals he's looking at to raise the birthrate: "There's a certain Australian plan that people are liking and they're talking about. You know what I mean? There's a plan where, not for children necessarily, but it's for people. Working people. And we are looking at other things."

DemosAU are claiming ONP is close in Longman, which is interesting given a 36.1% to 9.9% LNP/ONP first preference, let alone a 35.5% ALP first preference, this smells like a poll shaped object to me
🚨 NEW: One Nation is nearing striking distance of becoming the official opposition, according to a federal voting intention poll and MRP released today by DemosAU
One Nation would win 12 seats and are within range of 18, while the Coalition risks falling to as low as 21
