Barnaby Joyce has revealed that One Nation would be willing to strike a deal with the Coalition to form government in the future.<\/p>\n
Mr Joyce told Sky News Sunday Agenda that One Nation was open to backing a Coalition government in exchange for key policy concessions.<\/p>\n
It comes as the minor party has surged passed the Coalition in the latest polls, and could form federal opposition after the next election.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we’ve been clear on this, we would offer supply and confidence,\u201d Mr Joyce said on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are on the conservative side, so there’s no, there’s no ambiguity about that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Joyce said any agreement would hinge on policy demands, including the abolition of the Department of Climate Change.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we will want is policy, and we’ll be very, very straight about that policy, such as getting rid of the climate change department,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’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.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
The comments come as One Nation surges in national polling, reshaping the political landscape ahead of the 2028 federal election.<\/p>\n
The latest Sky News Pulse \/ YouGov poll, conducted from April 14\u201321, saw One Nation climb to 27 per cent of the primary vote \u2013 equal with Labor for the first time in history.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
One Nation, however, had closed the gap, trailing Labor 52-48 on a two-party-preferred basis.<\/p>\n
The Coalition\u2019s primary vote remains at a near-historic low of 20 per cent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barnaby Joyce has revealed that One Nation would be willing to strike a deal with the Coalition to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3706,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[22,4917,4920,21,4918,4919,1955],"class_list":{"0":"post-3705","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-australia","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-auspol","10":"tag-australian-politics","11":"tag-austrlia","12":"tag-barnaby-joyce","13":"tag-coalition","14":"tag-one-nation"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3705","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3705"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3705\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
