Labor and Liberal figures trade accusations over what they say has contributed to One Nation’s growing support. Labor Minister Murray Watt and Liberal MP Ted O’Brien both publicly argue that the other side’s actions and messaging have helped drive attention and votes toward One Nation. The reports describe the dispute as a cross-party blame game, with each politician attributing One Nation’s rise to alleged choices made by the opposing major party. While their claims differ in attribution, the accounts align on the core point that both sides are linking One Nation’s growth to the conduct or influence of the rival party. The exchanges occur within the broader context of increased scrutiny of minor party performance and voter shifts in Australian politics. Overall, the coverage focuses on the mutual accusations rather than on specific policy measures, data, or campaign details, presenting a shared narrative that the major parties are disputing responsibility for One Nation’s momentum.
