One Nation’s rise has fractured Australia’s right. Thanks, News24!

One Nation’s resurgence is deepening splits across Australia’s conservative coalition, a trend amplified by the relaunch of Sky News as News24 which is likely to mainstream far-right messaging. That media shift increases pressure on centre-right parties already struggling with internal fractures and strategic paralysis, complicating the Liberals’ efforts to rebuild voter coalitions, including outreach to Chinese-Australian communities. The Paris example, where right-leaning candidates chose to merge lists to challenge a long-standing left incumbent, highlights an alternative response: consolidation rather than fragmentation can be a deliberate tactic to regain power.
