Australia's One Nation party surges to 59 seats in latest poll, threatening major parties

A Redbridge poll of 6,000+ Australian voters released this weekend projects Pauline Hanson's One Nation party could win as many as 59 seats in the lower house if an election were held today, potentially becoming the main opposition party and displacing both the Nationals and Liberal Party. The polling suggests One Nation would gain seats heavily from Labor-held electorates, marking a significant shift in Australian politics away from the traditional two-major-party system. Senator David Pocock attributed the shift to voter dissatisfaction with Australia's major parties. The result would represent a structural realignment of Australian parliamentary representation if replicated in an actual election.
