One Nation has just made history by securing its first-ever federal lower house seat. With Pauline Hanson eyeing the Lodge, the message to Canberra is loud and clear: Australians are fed up.

But is this a genuine endorsement of hard-right policies, or a protest against the cost-of-living crisis and housing stress?

Today, we’re joined by The New Daily’s Political Editor Amy Remeikis to unpack whether the old 'blue vs red' era of Australian politics is officially over.

Plus, we speak with Charlotte Mortlock, founder of Something Better Australia, about her grassroots mission to build a new political force that moves beyond the fringe.

🗞️ HEADLINES

• Closure for a rural NSW town as the body of an alleged triple murderer found by police

• The Treasurer forecasts Australia to be $44.9 billion better off over coming years when he hands down the budget tonight
• The last six passengers and some crew members of the hantavirus-hit MV Hondius have left the ship on the Spanish island of Tenerife

• British pop star Dua Lipa has filed a lawsuit against Samsung accusing the tech giant of using her image without ‌permission
