La viceleader dei Liberali afferma che la Coalition dovrebbe ascoltare "molto attentamente" i risultati dell'elezione suppletiva di Farrer. Segui gli ultimi aggiornamenti Bilancio federale 2026: cosa sappiamo finora Consulta tutta la nostra copertura sul bilancio australiano 2026 Ricevi la nostra email con le ultime notizie, l'app gratuita o il podcast quotidiano Interrogata ieri sera su una possibile alleanza tra Liberali e National con One Nation, Jane Hume ha rifiutato di scartare categoricamente l'idea. Pressata su questo possibile scenario, ha dichiarato che "solo One Nation è a favore di ciò" e che non parlerà di "cosa accadrà dopo le prossime elezioni". La cosa più importante è aumentare il voto primario per il partito dei Liberali e dei National … Ci sono così tante ipotesi … Dirò che la Coalition è determinata e dedita a presentare al pubblico australiano una piattaforma per cui possano votare … Non c'è nessuno oggi nella stanza del partito della Coalition che ci stia dicendo di dover ampliare la Coalition per includere One Nation. Il messaggio che abbiamo inviato a Farrer è che i teals votano con i Greens nel 70% dei casi e che per gli abitanti di Farrer questo non avrebbe rappresentato i loro interessi … Metteremo sempre le nostre preferenze dove pensiamo risiedano gli interessi nazionali, dove pensiamo risiedano gli interessi dell'elettorato e questo è ciò che abbiamo fatto a Farrer. Volevano il cambiamento. Trovandosi a un seggio con i teals in arancione da un lato e One Nation in arancione dall'altro, entrambi dicevano 'votate per il cambiamento'. Questa è … un'elezione suppletiva che nessuno voleva. È avvenuta solo un anno dopo le elezioni, dopo il ritiro di un membro locale, dopo un quarto di secolo, che è molto tempo per detenere un seggio … Non c'era nemmeno molto amore per il partito Laburista. È solo che il partito Laburista non ha avuto il coraggio di presentarsi … Il partito dei Liberali ha perso la strada. La Coalition ha perso la strada. Ci siamo divisi due volte negli ultimi 12 mesi. C'è frustrazione là fuori. Accoglieremo il risultato con umiltà. Continua a leggere...
