For the first time, Pauline beat both leaders of the major parties as the nation’s preferred Prime Minister. She was on 33%, beating the actual Prime Minister who was in second place on 29% with Coalition leader Angus Taylor trailing a distant third on 16% (even the undecided figure, 22%, was higher).

Flying into Sydney the day after, the One Nation leader thanked Australians for their increasing support but she was also very quick to say “let’s keep our feet on the ground”. Pauline is right. The real challenge for our party is to maintain our support and build on it.

It’s why our members and supporters are so important. For political parties, there is no more important element to them than the people who sign up, volunteer, and spread the word.
