⏱️This edition of the National Account’s newsletter is a four-minute read.
👋 G’day everyone, Archie here.
I’m recovered from the long weekend and now ready to bring you your news. Today, I’ve got some pretty interesting insight into all of this One Nation hoopla.
So let’s crack on with the news🗞️.
One Nation are now at a point where they are at least neck and neck with the Coalition and in quite a few polls now they’re ahead
If you’ve been looking at the headlines over the last couple of days, you may have seen poll after poll showing a surge in support for One Nation. I wanted to know how legitimate this supposed surge really was.
Today I had a chat with the election analyst Ben Raue from politics blog the Tally Room.
He said there was a clear trend of support growing for One Nation, but that Pauline Hanson’s party wasn’t chipping away at the Labor and Green vote, only the Coalition’s.

Hastie irritates fans 🫵
Yesterday, I also did a quick rundown on why Liberal leadership hopeful Andrew Hastie is having to learn to balance his diehard supporters with more moderate factions of the party.
When Hastie eventually voted in favour of the federal government’s hate speech laws, he ruffled some feathers, evidenced by the swift change in tone from people commenting on the Andrew Hastie for PM Facebook.
Thanks for catching up with me. I hope you enjoyed this issue, and I’d love to hear your thoughts. Just reply to this email and I’ll be on the other side 👋.
I’ll be back on Friday.
Cheers, Archie
