Western Australia opposition leader David (Zempilas) says he is open to working with One Nation ahead of the next state election. Multiple outlets report that Zempilas points to recent polling suggesting there is public frustration with the current state of politics in Australia, and he frames the move as a potential way to respond to that sentiment. Separate reporting also quotes One Nation’s WA leader (an MLC, along with Philip Scott the party’s only representatives in WA parliament) saying cooperation with Zempilas is possible. The One Nation leader describes the prospect as “like old-school Liberals” and indicates that, even though the state election is still some time away, collaboration could be beneficial for winning seats, particularly those currently held by Labor. Across the articles, both sides indicate openness to some form of coordination, with the central rationale linked to polling and the aim of improving electoral prospects. No specific agreement, policy platform, or timetable for cooperation is detailed in the coverage.
