Sharri MarksonHOST
No, and she is at the moment.
Sharri MarksonHOST
Just finally, this battle between Pauline Hanson and Andrew Hastie, you know, he's one of the strongest conservative figures, a future leader, an up-and-comer, and he could be taken out in Canning by One Nation.
Paul KellyGUEST
Well, he might be.
Paul KellyGUEST
But I mean, essentially what's happening here is Pauline Hanson and One Nation have decided they're going to fight hasty and they want to eliminate hasty from the parliament.
Tom McIlroyGUEST
He came into Parliament in 2015 in a by-election.
Tom McIlroyGUEST
The sitting member for the WA seat of Canning, Don Randall, died, and there was a by-election, and this was when Tony Abbott was the prime minister, just as he was coming under pressure from Malcolm Turnbull.
Tom McIlroyGUEST
The by-election was one of the pivotal points at the end of the Abbott era.
Tom McIlroyGUEST
He's been close to Abbott over time.
Tom McIlroyGUEST
His wife is American.
Tom McIlroyGUEST
They have three kids.
Tom McIlroyGUEST
And that electorate, and we're gonna be talking a lot about that electorate of Canning between now and the next federal election 'cause of the dynamics going on there.
Tom McIlroyGUEST
But I think like for a lot of WA MPs, coming from the west has become a big part of his political brand, I think.
James MorrowHOST
Andrew Hastie, I think, everybody sees that this is a very cynical play.
James MorrowHOST
Everybody sees that Canning, his seat in WA, is under threat.
James MorrowHOST
If he was to roll Angus Taylor and then fight the next election from the seat of Canning, we could have the ignominious record of yet another Liberal leader losing his seat at the coming election, this time not necessarily to Labour, but to One Nation to his right.
James MorrowHOST
Um, I think that a lot of people I've spoken to have a few big questions about Andrew Hastie's upset over Pauline Hanson's cartoon, and the number one being, this was published a month ago, several weeks ago.
James MorrowHOST
Six weeks ago.
Evan SchwartenHOST
It was a bit of a perfect storm, really.
Evan SchwartenHOST
And I mean, we, you know, our MRP model has been showing the federal seat at Canning, which of course overlaps largely with Secret Harbour as one of the first seats, first Liberal held seats that would go to One Nation back in Back in November, December, we had, if I remember, I think One Nation was polling about 17% primary then.
Evan SchwartenHOST
Even at that point, Canning was one of the 12 or so seats that One Nation was going to pick up.
Evan SchwartenHOST
So this is really prime hunting ground for them, isn't it? Yes, yes, yes.
Evan SchwartenHOST
That's right.
Sam BamfordHOST
But Andrew Hastie's led the charge.
Sam BamfordHOST
Why? Well, because Canning is the secret harbor area.
Sam BamfordHOST
So the writing on the wall is for one-- is, is for Andrew Hastie here.
Sam BamfordHOST
The writing is on the wall that he's gonna get kicked out in the next election by One Nation.
Sam BamfordHOST
Why? Because in his area, that is secret harbor.
Sam BamfordHOST
His area, Canning, is secret harbor.
Sam BamfordHOST
And why did Jackie Lambie get in on it as well? Well, because Lee Hansen, who almost took Jackie Lambie's seat at the last federal election with One Nation only getting 8%, well, guess what? Now One Nation has 30%, Jackie Lambie's gone, Lee Hansen's in.
Sam BamfordHOST
So that's why she's joined up on this as well.
Chris SmithHOST
If Secret Harbour is any guide, he's in those areas.
Chris SmithHOST
Canning will fall to one
CharlieAUDIENCE
notion.
CharlieAUDIENCE
And I honestly believe, I support that woman who was just on before.
Nick CaterGUEST
You know, he's worked hard there, so, you know, he deserves to be respected for that, I think.
Tim WebsterHOST
Yeah, and it should be said, and I think this is part of it, I don't know whether our listeners know this, but One Nation, One Secret Harbour, very convincingly, and Secret Harbour's in Canning.
Tim WebsterHOST
I mean, that's Hastie's federal electorate, so that's adding to his concern, obviously.
Tim WebsterHOST
Of course, yeah.
Mark LevyHOST
In the meantime, I'll also be joined this morning by Andrew Hastie from Parliament House in Canberra, who's fired up over this cartoon that was circulated by One Nation, which describes the former SAS soldier as a traitor, which is disrespectful and absolute rubbish.
Mark LevyHOST
Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce have since come out and rejected calling Mr Hastie a traitor, but the member for Canning, well, he's not
Andrew HastieGUEST
having a bar of it.
Andrew HastieGUEST
Well, I would say that Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce are lying cowards.
Mark LevyHOST
The Albanese government would be sitting down there in Canberra enjoying every minute of this because while we're focusing on whether Pauline Hanson thinks Andrew Hastie is a traitor, we aren't talking about Labor's economic mismanagement and the decisions that have been made that are destroying this country.
Mark LevyHOST
Pauline Hanson has been around long enough to understand that when a political party circulates a satirical cartoon depicting Mr Hastie as a traitor, One Nation is also endorsing what's being portrayed.
Mark LevyHOST
My question is, why is the word sorry so hard to say in Canberra? Senator Hanson can nip this in the bud today by simply saying she has the utmost respect for our veterans and if the member for Canning was offended by the cartoon circulated by One Nation, she'll offer him an unreserved apology.
Mark LevyHOST
End of story.
Chris SmithHOST
Why is an aspiring Liberal leader spending so much political capital warring against the current Conservative Party juggernaut? Most Conservatives would say he should be breaking bread with One Nation, with Barnaby Joyce and Pauline Hanson, especially after the party's victory in the secret harbour WA by-election.
Chris SmithHOST
That seat sits directly inside Hastie's federal electorate of Canning.
Chris SmithHOST
You've got to wonder, is Hastie's outrage about defending his military integrity or is it a calculated attempt to pre-empt a fierce local re-election challenge from One Nation next year? By escalating a scarcely viewed nine-minute cartoon, he's ultimately putting Pauline Hanson in the national conversation again.
Chris SmithHOST
Australian politics has had a rich, brutal history of lampooning leaders.

Chris SmithHOST
Thank you.
Chris SmithHOST
There you go.
Chris SmithHOST
Well, if you've got to scrape and run hard to protect Canning when you've just seen a by-election at the state level go so far in favour of One Nation, you may as well start campaigning now.
Chris SmithHOST
Diane Coveney-Garland, good morning.
Andrew HastieGUEST
But I love my community.
Andrew HastieGUEST
I love the seat of Canning.
Andrew HastieGUEST
I'm going to fight all the way for it.
Mark LevyHOST
All right, Andrew.
