A DemosAU survey from February 16-20 showed One Nation at 28% primary vote federally, up four points and nearly matching Labor’s 29%, while a Roy Morgan poll put it at 30% in NSW, ahead of Labor’s 25% and the Coalition’s 19%.
The gains come amid cost-of-living pressures, housing shortages, and immigration debates, fueling anti-establishment sentiment.
Labor holds a two-party preferred lead, but critics like MP Clare O’Neil warn of risks to multiculturalism, as One Nation’s rise challenges Australia’s major parties ahead of key elections.
