"A coalition of Liberal, ON, and the Nationals". You'd think so, wouldn't you. But thus far, Taylor and Canavan remain aligned more with Labor, against ON, and against voters. Neither will back ON's low migration policy, and why not "have more babies", sez Canavan.

Sure, why not, Matt? Never mind that rental and housing affordability remain at all time lows. Maybe peoples should just get a higher paying job, as Joe Hockey used to say.

A tripartite coalition is not a realistic prospect. One Nation will determine its own course in the face of pressure from the Australian Labor Party, the Liberal Party, and the Nationals, and any party aligned with that direction may choose to follow.
