One Nation Senator Claimed Coronavirus Deaths 'Staged'
Taylor said the Liberals will remain separate from One Nation as controversy grows over Malcolm Roberts’ claims about staged COVID-19 death images.
- On Tuesday, Opposition Leader Angus Taylor rejected any merger between the Liberal Party and One Nation in South Australia, telling reporters, "That will not be happening."
- Tension within One Nation intensified after unearthed footage showed Senator Malcolm Roberts claiming COVID-19 death videos were "staged," alleging broadcasters had images of people dying in makeshift morgues.
- A Roy Morgan poll released Tuesday showed One Nation's primary vote dipped 5.5 per cent to 22.5 per cent, while the Coalition rose 3 per cent to 23 per cent. One Nation issued a memo Monday restricting journalist contact.
- Taylor distanced the Coalition from podcaster Sam Bamford, whom Antic is hosting in Adelaide, rejecting Bamford's support for "Remigration," a concept involving large-scale deportations of non-white populations.
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese criticized Senator Pauline Hanson for her overseas trip, claiming she used the journey to "denigrate and talk down Australia," and argued Senator Roberts' history of promoting conspiracy theories makes him unworthy of his position.
