Rallying cry to ‘defeat’ One Nation
Albanese says Labor must defeat the populist party after its historic byelection win, arguing it spreads misinformation and has no serious answers.
- On Sunday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese warned Australians "owe it to history" to defeat One Nation, following the party's historic by-election victory in Western Australia's Secret Harbour on Saturday.
