澳大利亚One Nation党正在加快全国扩张步伐，对自由党领导人热门人选Andrew Hastie构成直接威胁。[1]One Nation西澳领导人Rod Caddies已在Hastie所代表的Canning选区开设分支机构，并承诺推举强有力对手与之对抗。[1]
在2025年联邦选举中，候选人Fernando Bove在该选区获得11.4%的首选票，摇摆票数达6.8%。[1]根据《澳大利亚金融评论》委托Redbridge在2025年5月进行的选区分析，民粹主义浪潮可能导致Hastie失去其席位。[1]Hastie本周首次公开表示他可能会失去席位，并表示希望获得One Nation的优先票支持。[1]
与此同时，One Nation维州新领导人Warren Pickering为该党过往支持阴谋论的立场进行辩护，称这些内容不会在州选举中宣传。[1]Pickering还表示，One Nation继续禁止新闻机构出席其活动是"不可避免的"，该党已禁止The Guardian、ABC和《年代报》出席周一的新闻发布会。[1]
One Nation is accelerating its national expansion and mounting electoral pressure against Liberal frontrunner Andrew Hastie ahead of federal elections.[1] Rod Caddies, the party's Western Australian leader, has established a branch in the Canning electorate and pledged to field a strong candidate to contest Hastie's seat.[1]
The political pressure is mounting as Hastie confronts the possibility of losing his position to the populist surge.[1] In the 2025 federal election, Fernando Bove secured 11.4 percent of primary votes in Hastie's electorate, representing a swing of 6.8 percent.[1] Hastie acknowledged this threat for the first time this week, stating he may lose his seat and expressing hope for One Nation's preference votes.[1] An electoral analysis by Redbridge in May for the Australian Financial Review had predicted that Hastie could lose his seat amid the populist wave.[1]
As One Nation consolidates its position, the party continues to restrict media access to its events.[1] Warren Pickering, the party's newly appointed Victorian leader, defended One Nation's previous support for conspiracy theories and stated the party will not promote such content in state elections.[1] Pickering characterized the party's ongoing ban of news outlets as "inevitable," with The Age, ABC, and The Guardian barred from attending a press conference held on Monday.[1]
