My priority in the Victorian election is getting rid of the Labor government. I’m asking Victorians to put One Nation first, then preference the Liberals ahead of Labor and the Greens. The Liberals need to understand that their prospects of forming government may well depend on One Nation preferences. We already have representation in Victoria’s Upper House. One Nation deserves a seat at the leaders’ debate. Both major parties have refused to debate our leader, despite One Nation having representation in the Victorian Parliament and attracting significant support in elections around the country. Victorian voters deserve to hear from all serious alternatives, not just Labor and the Liberals. Everywhere I go, businesses, farmers and workers tell me the same thing: the cost of living, taxes, regulation and government spending are hurting them. That’s why we’ve launched whatsholdingyouback.com.au to hear directly from you. I’ve been travelling around the country listening directly to Australians about the pressures they face, and those conversations will help shape One Nation’s policies. Our cartoons are satire, and we’re not going to stop making them. I’m concerned proposed digital duty of care laws could be used to try to silence or restrict this kind of political commentary. These cartoons are holding a mirror up to the ridiculous Liberal and Labor politics, so of course they want them gone.
