Niki Savva savages Angus Taylor who “still doesn’t understand” how preferencing fringe party One Nation has sent the Liberal vote in Farrer into a death spiral. “When he says, you ‘change or die’, and you haven’t changed, then it’s only the other option left”🔥 #auspol

Tim Wilson who describes One Nation as “despicable” & “toxic”, is now open to forming an alliance with them if it’ll help put Libs in “a position to govern” Trading any remaining principles just for power. No wonder they are going extinct. #auspol
