On Thursday One Nation disendorsed a candidate for the Queensland state election for not paying a $2,400 upfront fee to cover, in part, campaign materials. Elise Cottam, the candidate for Callide, told Guardian Australia she had intended to have her son provide marketing material for “next to nothing” but the party had disendorsed her for failing to meet a Monday deadline to pay. Literally using your son as an unpaid intern Mr Speaker

WA Libs have officially announced that there will be a Preference deal where the Liberals will preference One Nation in the regional seats and One nation will preference the Liberals in every other non regional seat they are contesting; pissing off the Nationals extremely.

Details of the controversial deal were confirmed by senior Liberals yesterday, with Nationals claiming privately they had been double crossed. Under the plan, the Liberals would preference One Nation above the Nationals in the Upper House country regions, and in return, they are demanding One Nation would preference the Liberals above Labor in all Lower House seats they were contesting. Mr Barnett, who in February warned voters against voting One Nation, yesterday declined to comment. That's all we know about the deal at this point.

The environmental bit is just the cover to bring in the social revolution, left renewal aren't meant to say it out loud without tying it into the environment... Everyone has a connection to country in their own way except property developers. It shouldn't be hard for the greens in Qld but the metro attitudes and assumptions SEQ has of the rest of the state is why the greens are stuck at <10%

Wait. What? The Nationals and Libs are in coalition. I don't think the Libs could even remotely win this if they dumped the Nationals off, even though they are a dying party. They've been arguing over a few things for a while now, but... is this the coalition in WA disintegrating? Fascinating.

I think the Coalition deal in WA is less formal / strict than in other states (especially Queensland, obviously). This kind of poo poo is why I get annoyed when everyone just calls them then LNP.

In WA there is no coalition, and in fact the only reason Barnett got in 2 elections ago was because he was willing to throw 25% of mining royalties at national party seats in return for their support at giving him the premier position. If course after this preference deal there is zero chance of that this time, if there even was a chance after they got power in their own right and left the nationals out to dry last election.

Barnett must feel like he is so hosed to be doing a deal with One Nation. He's gotta go, his time is well and truly up. He's done a loving terrible job. He's tried to improve Perth to deal with our increasing population but to do so he's set up Elizabeth Quay, a big concrete cauldron devoid of trees that people are supposed to gather in. He's also smashing a path through the Beeliar wetlands trying to get Fremantle port connected before he's dumped, so he can flip it and point to his balanced budget as evidence the Libs are responsible economic managers.

Once again, in WA the nats aren't in coalition* and are generally fairly hostile to the Libs. They tend to actually negotiate with labor when necessary too. * in the previous government they voted to provide the premiership to the Libs (labor refused their demands) but only got money and cabinet positions.
