Liberal frontbencher Dan Tehan says he does not want to be in a rightwing coalition with One Nation, despite senior colleagues urging closer ties with Pauline Hanson and polls suggesting her rise will make it difficult for the opposition party to ever govern in its own right again.

The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, on Sunday mocked the Liberal, National and One Nation parties as an axis of grievance" on the conservative side of politics, but Tehan said a formal alliance was not being discussed among his colleagues.
