Liberal figure Alex Antic, now Liberal state president, says the Coalition must work with One Nation. The outlets report his comments as part of ongoing political negotiations around parliamentary support.
The reporting places Antic’s remarks alongside statements from One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce. Joyce says he has spoken to “very senior Liberals” about providing the Coalition with supply, a reference to securing votes needed to pass legislation or keep the government operating.
Across the sources, the main focus is the timing and linkage between Antic’s call for cooperation and Joyce’s comments about discussions with senior Liberal figures. While the outlets differ only minimally in wording, they all present the same sequence: Antic publicly argues for working with One Nation, then Joyce—reported the following day—describes talks aimed at supplying support for the Coalition.
