Pauline Hanson to preference LABOR in key seats in a bitter blow to Scott Morrison’s re-election hopes

  • Senator Hanson will push supporters to preference Labor over Liberal MPs
  • She is set to punish Liberals after supporters told to preference Jacqui Lambie
  • One Nation still plans to support Liberal conservatives and Nationals over ALP

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson says her party will push its supporters to preference Labor over vulnerable moderate Liberal MPs in key seats.

Senator Hanson has accused the Liberals of a ‘dirty deal with the devil’ by recommending its voters give their preferences to the Jacqui Lambie Network (JLN) ahead of One Nation in the Tasmanian Senate race.

The One Nation leader told The Australian her party would look to punish the Liberals with low placings on how-to-vote cards in selected marginal seats from Victoria to Queensland.

Bass MP Bridget Archer, who holds the Morrison government’s most marginal seat, and Leichhardt MP Warren Entsch, who faces pressure from the ALP, are understood to be at the top of a list of moderate Liberals Senator Hanson will target.

One Nation is also set to preference Labor over Liberal moderate MPs facing Climate 200 backed candidates such as Tim Wilson in Goldstein and Trent Zimmerman in North Sydney.

‘We’re not letting them get away with this dirty deal with the devil,’ Senator Hanson told The Australian, referring to the Tasmanian senate race.

‘One Nation will now look at Liberal-held seats across the country.’

One Nation still plans to support Liberal conservatives and Nationals over ALP candidates.

‘Labor is rotten to the core but the Liberals are just as bad because they only pretend to fight for conservative Australian values,’ Senator Hanson said.

‘Their hypocritical deal with JLN is the last nail in the Morrison government’s coffin.’

One Nation polled at 3 per cent in the latest Newspoll.
