Labor to highlight ‘risk’ of One Nation to cost of living in bid to dent Pauline Hanson’s popularity

Labor MP Mike Freelander says party must continue to help under-pressure workers, including considering further income tax cuts

Labor will seek to highlight Pauline Hanson's record of opposing cost-of-living relief for working people as it tries to prevent One Nation further eroding its voter base.

As the government grapples with how to deal with Hanson's surge, one Labor MP predicted One Nation's support had peaked and the right-wing populist party wouldn't be able to replicate its polling success at a federal election.
