Pourquoi c'est important
One Nation seeks to capitalize on rising support across Australia, targeting Canberra despite its left-leaning reputation.
After decades of Labor government in the ACT and no local representation by the Coalition in federal parliament since 2022, the conventional wisdom is that Canberra is a largely left-leaning city. But the national capital is now among places in One Nation's sights as support for the party surges across the country. [...] Diana Abdel-Rahman fears the debate over culture will distract people from scrutinising One Nation's policies for addressing issues such as cost of living. [...] Nevertheless, both Ms Wong and Ms Abdel-Rahman are confident One Nation will receive limited support in the ACT.
