Barnaby Joyce has revealed that One Nation would be willing to strike a deal with the Coalition to form government in the future.
Mr Joyce told Sky News Sunday Agenda that One Nation was open to backing a Coalition government in exchange for key policy concessions.
It comes as the minor party has surged passed the Coalition in the latest polls, and could form federal opposition after the next election.
“I think we’ve been clear on this, we would offer supply and confidence,” Mr Joyce said on Sunday.
“We are on the conservative side, so there’s no, there’s no ambiguity about that.”
Mr Joyce said any agreement would hinge on policy demands, including the abolition of the Department of Climate Change.
“What we will want is policy, and we’ll be very, very straight about that policy, such as getting rid of the climate change department,” he said.
“It’s done so much damage, so much burden, it has not changed the climate is put us in a precarious position on fuel, precarious position on electricity… it needs to be gone.
“And that’s the sort of policies we will be taking forward, and we’ll say to them, if you do a reasonable deal, then you get supply and confidence.”
The comments come as One Nation surges in national polling, reshaping the political landscape ahead of the 2028 federal election.
The latest Sky News Pulse / YouGov poll, conducted from April 14–21, saw One Nation climb to 27 per cent of the primary vote – equal with Labor for the first time in history.
Labor, despite slumping to its lowest primary vote on record, would still win an election held today, leading the Coalition 53-47 on a two-party-preferred basis.
One Nation, however, had closed the gap, trailing Labor 52-48 on a two-party-preferred basis.
The Coalition’s primary vote remains at a near-historic low of 20 per cent.
