They've, uh, engaging with really cheap American style scaremongering, uh, and we're just not entering into that game

gameColleen Harkin, of course.

Michelle, until yesterday abortion was not even on the agenda.

Why do you think Labor's decided to create this debate?

Former Defense Department Deputy Secretary for Strategy Peter Jennings, for one, has said that better transparency was the more important thing.

Well, joining me now to discuss this and a whole lot more is News Corp senior writer Patrick Carlyon and One Nation upper house candidate Colleen Harkin.

Patrick, let me start with you on this one here.

This seems like a case of them realizing far too late in the piece that they haven't done their homework on this royal commission that was supposed to report by the end of the year.

It's a shame when I think about what quantum was like when I started first flying here 25 years ago.

It's been the journey, let's just say.

Patrick Carlin, Colleen Harkin, thank you so much, guys, for your time, as always.

All right, joining me now is esteemed geologist, author, and executive director at Hancock Energy, Professor Ian Plymer.

In this podcast on the Victorian election, Tony Barry, from the Redbridge Political Consultancy and a former Liberal staffer, sets the scene.

We then speak to Premier Ben Carroll, Opposition leader Jess Wilson, and the Victorian One Nation deputy leader Colleen Harkin.

[pensive music] Tony Barry, can we begin with an overview of how the land lies in Victoria? Labor's on the nose, but the coalition needs some 16 seats for majority government.

That would be difficult at the best of times, but there's the complication of One Nation, which has been polling strongly, but we don't know how that will translate.

[gentle music]

Jess Wilson, thanks very much for talking with us.

Colleen Harkin, you were in the Liberal Party for decades.

You had a senior position.

I'd call that democracy in action.

Now to discuss this, joining me now is One Nation Victoria's deputy, newly announced deputy leader Colleen Harkin and News Corp senior writer Patrick Carlyon.

Colleen, first of all to you, congratulations on your new role as deputy leader.

I know this is a national issue, not a state one, but does this smack of a bit of desperation to you?

It's just shocking to me.

We're going to leave it there, guys.

Thank you so much, Colleen Harkin and Patrick Carline.

Thank you so much.

He said, if we didn't have such a high level of public demand, then private demand by Australian consumers, home builders and business companies could have picked up without causing an inflation problem.

Joining me now for more on this is One Nation Victorian Upper House candidate Colleen Harkin and former Liberal MP Nicole Flint.

Colleen, the Treasurer appears to be in denial about the perilous state of the economy and the perilous state of household budgets across the country.

Yeah, and look, the issue here is that oil prices have an effect on what's happening here.

And because we never had the debate,

because even the suggestion of a debate is categorised as anti-women somehow.

Colleen Harkin, Nicole Flynn, thank you for your time tonight.

Now, Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen has attacked Australia's coal-fired power plants.

Channel 9 should be ashamed of itself.

Joining me now for more on this is News Corp senior writer Patrick Carline and One Nation upper house candidate for the Victorian election, Colleen Harkin.

Patrick, the hit pieces, the smear campaigns are becoming increasingly desperate against One Nation, but none of it is landing.

I wrote that in today's Herald Sun.

It's terrible.

Mm-hmm.

Patrick Carline, Colleen Harkin, always a pleasure.

Thank you for your time.
