George Brandis (Queensland, Liberal Party, Attorney-General) Share this | Hansard source

Senator Chisholm, I don't know what the Prime Minister has had to say about the matter. But I'll tell you what I've had to say about the matter, and I will repeat it here: flirting with One Nation is poison. Flirting with One Nation is poison for my side of politics. My attitude to One Nation, with whom I deal courteously and professionally in this chamber, by the way, is, nevertheless, that One Nation has nothing to offer the people of Queensland. You make a debating point, Senator Chisholm, but isn't it interesting that if the government of Annastacia Palaszczuk is returned with a majority, that majority will be comprised of seats won from the LNP on One Nation preferences—seats like Mansfield, seats like Aspley and seats in Brisbane won by the Labor Party on One Nation preferences.
