It's time to pop the champagne, or at least crack open a cold one, because the latest Newspoll has delivered a bombshell that's got the Canberra elites choking on their soy lattes. Pauline Hanson's One Nation has rocketed past the Coalition in primary votes, clocking in at a whopping 14% nationally while the Libs and Nats limp along at a pathetic 12% – their lowest ebb since the poll's inception. In Queensland, where real Aussies know the score, One Nation's hitting 22%, leaving the Coalition eating dust at 15%. Labor's sitting pretty at 35%, Greens at 12%, but the real story? The two-party preferred has Labor ahead 54-46, signalling the Coalition's freefall into irrelevance.
Is it any wonder? Absolutely not. The Coalition – once the supposed guardians of conservative values – has gone full Labor-lite, selling out everyday Australians on the issues that matter most: immigration, cost of living, national identity, and guns. From their wishy-washy stance on border control to cosying up with big business at the expense of workers, they've become indistinguishable from Albo's mob. One Nation, on the other hand, is the real deal – unapologetically standing up for the forgotten Aussies who've had enough of the globalist agenda. Let's break this down from the heartland perspective, where common sense still reigns.
The Poll Breakdown: A Wake-Up Call for the Establishment
Conducted January 13-17, 2026, this Newspoll isn't some outlier; it's the culmination of years of betrayal. One Nation's 14% primary vote marks the first time we've eclipsed the Coalition nationally, a feat Pauline Hanson hailed as "Australians waking up to the sell-outs." In key battlegrounds like Queensland, our support's ballooned thanks to grassroot anger over unchecked migration and skyrocketing bills. Even in other states, we're nipping at the heels: 10% in NSW, 12% in Victoria, and solid gains in WA and SA. The Coalition's plunge? Blame their internal squabbles and policy flip-flops – from ditching nuclear energy promises to soft-pedalling on deportation targets.
Pollsters attribute our rise to voter frustration with immigration policies that prioritise foreigners over families, and economic mismanagement that's left pensions and wages in the dust. Remember the record influx under the Coalition's watch before they lost power? They talked tough but delivered open borders. Now, as opposition, they're critiquing Labor's mess without offering real alternatives – just more of the same multilateral multicultural mush.
Why the Coalition's Labor-Lite Label Sticks – And Why It Hurts Them
Let's call a spade a spade: The Liberal-National Coalition has morphed into Labor's pale imitation. Gone are the days of backbone on sovereignty; now we've got leaders who virtue-signal on climate cults, bow to UN dictates, and ignore the housing crisis fuelled by mass migration. Their "tough on borders" rhetoric? Hollow – they supported Labor's watered-down deportation bills and failed to push for a migration moratorium. On energy, they're all talk about renewables while coal communities crumble. And don't get me started on cultural issues: Where's the fight against woke indoctrination in schools or the defence of traditional values?
This Labor-lite pivot has alienated their base – tradies, farmers, and regional folk who've switched to One Nation in droves. As Pauline puts it, "The Coalition's become the party of big corporates and inner-city elites, not the battlers." Our policies? Crystal clear: Slash migration to sustainable levels, prioritise Aussie jobs, crack down on foreign ownership, and invest in manufacturing revival. No wonder we're pulling votes from disgruntled Coalition supporters – 25% of our new backers are ex-Libs/Nats, per the poll breakdown.
One Nation's Path Forward: Real Solutions for Real Australians
This Newspoll isn't just numbers; it's validation. One Nation's the voice for those sick of the two-party duopoly. We're pushing for:
Immigration Overhaul: A net-zero policy until housing and services catch up – no more importing problems, as we've seen with cultural clashes and welfare strains.
Economic Patriotism: Tax breaks for local businesses, not multinationals; energy security via coal and gas, ditching net-zero fantasies that jack up bills.
Cultural Defence: Protecting free speech from hate laws, supporting families over gender ideology, and honouring our Anzac heritage.
The Coalition could learn a thing or two, but they're too busy chasing Green preferences. If they keep going Labor-lite, expect more polls like this – and come election time, One Nation could kingmake or even govern in coalitions of our own.
Aussies, this is our moment. The establishment's shaking because the people are speaking. Join the surge – vote One Nation, and let's put Australia first!
