This week we reported on some interesting polling that grappled with what makes One Nation voters tick, and one issue stood out.

There’s also been an argy-bargy in the party this week over immigration numbers, the net result of which being, perhaps, that One Nation is not totally against migration. 

Meanwhile, the Labor government is yet to announce its migration plan and which visa classes it may cut, but the early talk of deportation of migrants sent shockwaves through some communities.

Finally, we also talk about the AI data centres cropping up in Australian communities. Are they worth the investment and the energy drain?

Today’s conversation is hosted by Jacqueline Maley, with chief political correspondent Paul Sakkal.

 

Background reading: 
1000 One Nation voters said why they were voting for Hanson – and what it would take to switch
Albanese tells Queensland to get with the program on AI revolution
