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...

Inquiry heard evidence about state involvement with Axel Rudakubana, who killed three young girls at a dance workshop in summer 2024Chairman Adrian Fulford, who will publish his report at midday, said the obligation was to provide answers to victims and their families.Concluding the hearings in November, he said:Our principal responsibility lies to them, to provide the best possible explanation as to why and how this terrible event occurred, and to be brave about suggesting the changes that ought to be made to prevent, if we can, a repetition.Sitting through the extensive list of failings exposed during the first phase of the inquiry provoked an understandably complex mix of emotions for our clients, who battle the daily consequences of survivors’ guilt.We hope the report will expose every entity that failed to act in time to prevent this catastrophic attack, and any agencies that are found to be at fault are committed to not just learning lessons but demonstrating, publicly, that they are committed to taking every step to prevent such an atrocity from happening again.There is no regulatory mechanism to ensure that recommendations are properly considered and acted upon at the end of an inquiry, which is why we are strongly urging the chair to implement a process to monitor the progress of all recommendations and provide evidence to support them, as happened at the Manchester Arena Inquiry.Since that harrowing day, our clients’ thoughts have remained with the bereaved and will remain so today.
