Liberal senator Andrew Bragg says the Liberal Party should remain “pragmatic” about how it may work with One Nation ahead of the next election. Bragg leaves open the possibility of an agreement, including a coalition arrangement or a preferences deal, noting that his party may need to be flexible in how it approaches One Nation. The comments come despite Bragg’s party leader previously shutting down any talk of cooperation. Multiple reports frame Bragg’s position as a departure from the leadership line, but they agree the senator is not ruling out further contact or an electoral arrangement. The proposal, as described across outlets, would focus on electoral strategy—either through preferences or a formal coalition—rather than commenting in detail on policy concessions. The reports do not provide specifics on timing, negotiation status, or terms of any potential arrangement.
