    One Nation has the votes. Can it win the seats?

    One Nation now polls in the low-to-mid 20s in every mainland state, but the vote went backwards in four of the five polls run across August and early September and rose only in Western Australia. With New South Wales and Victoria both heading to elections, the harder question is conversion: which urban seats are genuinely winnable, how far Liberal preferences leak, and whether Pauline Hanson chases the balance of power or the government benches. Discussion Topics: (00:00) - Hook (00:54) - Intro (01:27) - Why One Nation won Secret Harbour so decisively (04:23) - What Miranda in 2013 says about by-election swings (10:48) - One Nation slides in four states but climbs in WA (17:40) - Why One Nation polls higher federally than in WA (20:05) - The five numbers that made Secret Harbour winnable (23:40) - Camden, Melton and the seats One Nation is eyeing (32:10) - Where Liberal preferences leak 70-30 to One Nation (41:26) - Balance of power or the Lodge for Pauline Hanson Early access to In The Know and emailed insights are available exclusively for Amplieo+ members.

    The crack in Hanson's support nobody is talking about

    Pauline Hanson's rating among women fell from 39 per cent positive in June to 26 in August, while her rating among men barely moved. One Nation's primary dropped five points to 24 in the same period. No party gets to 50 per cent plus one off half the electorate, which leaves the open question of whether this is one bad month or the first sign of a ceiling. George Hasanakos works through what sits behind the fall. Georgia de Mestre of Premier National then joins for Victoria, three months from polling day with the Coalition leading 55-45. Discussion Topics: (00:00) - Hook (01:07) - Intro (01:41) - Hanson's approval falls seven points in two months (03:14) - The slide is coming entirely from women (07:10) - Less migration, but not a monoculture (11:54) - The DV comments that did the damage (15:20) - Why saying what you think stops at 50% plus one (19:33) - The Coalition creeps back into second (23:13) - Labor's floor and the fight for young men (26:58) - Victoria: the Coalition leads 55-45 (28:48) - Jess Wilson and the end of Liberal infighting (33:02) - Over-55s move back to a party that can win (35:24) - You don't win One Nation voters by chasing them (41:20) - The Coalition polls 37 per cent among women Early access to In The Know and emailed insights are available exclusively for Amplieo+ members.

    Canavan, Price and the Senate seats about to fall

    New Senate modelling from the same 9,300-voter MRP cuts the Coalition to 18 senators, with Matt Canavan and Jacinta Price both exposed on their own tickets. That leaves a One Nation government commanding 16 senators in a house of 76, and revives the blocked-supply arithmetic that produced the 1975 crisis. Show Notes: DemosAU: the Senate MRP and methodology Discussion Topics: (00:00) - Hook (01:15) - How the Senate actually works (03:07) - Taking the MRP into the upper house (04:57) - Labor and the Greens on exactly half (07:05) - Why a One Nation government falls five senators short (09:30) - The Whitlam parallels and the 1975 precedent (14:04) - What a double dissolution would deliver (21:53) - Canavan, Price and the senators at risk (38:04) - Why Hanson will not lead from the Senate (42:17) - What it would take to fix it Early access to In The Know and emailed insights are available exclusively for Amplieo+ members.
