Barnaby Joyce warns a dramatic polling slide should not be mistaken for a final verdict

One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce warns a dramatic polling slide should not be mistaken for a final verdict, insisting the Coalition, Labor and One Nation remain the key forces shaping Australia’s political future.

“What I’d suggest first of all is it’s hubris to decide that a poll is a vote, a poll is a poll that’s taken on the issues of the day.

“I’d say there are basically three major Parties: there’s the Labor Party, One Nation and the Coalition, and within that block will be determined the future government of Australia.”
