James MacPhersonHOST
So it's possible Victoria will end up with a Liberal government, One Nation as the official opposition, and the Labor Party hanging around the margins.
James MacPhersonHOST
Now, as I said in the introduction, this report comes as the Victorian Liberals insist One Nation leader Warren Pickering should not be allowed to participate in this week's leaders' debate.
James MacPhersonHOST
If I could just go back to you, Anne, first, is Jess Wilson right to insist Warren Pickering should not be part of the debate?
Anne WebsterGUEST
Look, I think the issue here is people get caught up in the polls and they see the orange wave coming through and that therefore means power.
Anne WebsterGUEST
Well, no, it doesn't.
Patricia KarvelasHOST
One Nation, Labor.
Patricia KarvelasHOST
And a very interesting moment of this week where Ben Carroll, the Victorian Premier and Labor leader, welcomed One Nation leader Warren Pickering to be part of a debate.
Patricia KarvelasHOST
Now, to me, that was so fascinating, and a really smart play by Labor, in my view, because Labor wants to sort of expose One Nation, if you like.
Patricia KarvelasHOST
They wanna get the Liberals into a bit of, you know, hot water dealing with whether they'll work together, I bet, on stage when those sort of questions are asked.
Patricia KarvelasHOST
You can see what optics they're going for.
Patricia KarvelasHOST
And also, when you platform someone like Warren Pickering, the leader of One Nation in Victoria, you also remind the public, this is my view, I've been wanting to say this all week, so thank you, you remind the public that he is not Pauline Hanson, and it's a marquee event, a debate, right? And, you know, Pauline Hanson's very popular, but is Warren Pickering the same thing? This is the other question, right?
Fran KellyHOST
And to put this into context, Raf, before you come in, normally political leaders don't want their newcomer arrivals on the same, um, stage because that gives them a platform.
Fran KellyHOST
That sort of treats them like your equal.

The 47-page dossier also instructs staff to monitor members who raised concerns on social media.
speaker_0HOST
Labor and the Liberals in Victoria are at odds over whether to include One Nation's Warren Pickering in the official leaders' debate for next month's election.
speaker_0HOST
News 24 understands the coalition is refusing to take part if Mr. Pickering is invited, while Labor won't be present unless he is included.
speaker_0HOST
Speaking to Rowan Dean, Mr. Pickering argues One Nation deserves to have a place in the debate.
Rowan DeanHOST
Thanks so much.
Rowan DeanHOST
Joining me now is One Nation's Victorian leader, Warren Pickering.
Rowan DeanHOST
Warren, great to see you.
Rowan DeanHOST
Thanks for coming on the show.
Rowan DeanHOST
I have never heard anything so disgusting or despicable in my life.
Rowan DeanHOST
I don't care what you think about abortions policies, but I am horrified and sickened by this.
Rowan DeanHOST
What is your opinion, Warren Pickering?
Warren PickeringGUEST
Well, I'd like to say it's, it's actually embarrassing to see the Labor government pull out this US style divisive politics right before an election, uh, in order to, to capture a voter base and trigger emotives, because they know this is going to draw a lot of emotional attention from within the Victorian community, and rightly so.
Robert McLeanHOST
Phil, what do you see as, as important for the seat of Shepparton?
Phil BryantGUEST
Uh, look, well, look, I, I, on my campaign launch and when I did my interview with Warren Pickering, uh, I, I believe that that bridge down Wanganui Road is the, is the most, uh, critical thing, not just for Shepparton, but for transport across Victoria.
Phil BryantGUEST
Uh, I sit here in my office on 49 High Street, and I watch B doubles and, and, and B triples drive through the middle of Shepparton.
Phil BryantGUEST
Uh, to, to take them off, uh, the High Street and Wyndham Street, um, would be, uh, a blessing for this city.
Lyle SheltonGUEST
But I hope it is.
Lyle SheltonGUEST
I think there's going to have to be some accommodation between Jess Wilson of the Liberals and you know, Warren Pickering of One Nation.
Lyle SheltonGUEST
Our hope in Western Metro, where Moira's recontesting her seat, is that she can take up that fifth spot in West Metro and really, you know, be someone who can be a conscience of the Parliament and possibly hold the balance of power.
Lyle SheltonGUEST
Yeah, and is that really the only area that you're focusing on, or do you have candidates elsewhere? We'll have candidates elsewhere throughout the states, but...
Stephen DonnellyHOST
But it's questionable about how much of those people are actually going out and having direct voter contact conversations with targeted voters.
Stephen DonnellyHOST
And in fact, Warren Pickering, the leader of the Lab- uh, leader of One Nation here in Victoria, has said that he's not interested, uh, in direct voter contact.
Stephen DonnellyHOST
He said, "If someone turns up at my door and wants to talk politics, I'm gonna slam the door in their face." So Warren does-
Lissie RatcliffGUEST
Yeah, they've delegated all of that local stuff to, to the local campaign, so it's up to the candidate for X or Y as to whether they have any, what we would call sort of field program.
Joanna HoweHOST
But then I would say to you, Michael McKenna, you literally work for a news organisation...
Joanna HoweHOST
Nat has targeted Warren Pickering with false allegations and historical allegations and beefed them up.
Joanna HoweHOST
These allegations are over 20 years old.
Joanna HoweHOST
You ran them as lead stories in your paper for three days straight just because you want Jess Wilson to be the next Premier of Victoria.
Joanna HoweHOST
It was a historical, unverified story that you gave so much airtime to that the left-wing media then picked up.
Joanna HoweHOST
Now, Pauline Hanson then goes on Chris Kenny and has a gaffe.
Joanna HoweHOST
She says there's still a lot there about Warren Pickering.
Joanna HoweHOST
Now, she didn't mean to say that.
John StanleyHOST
There's also the Victorian election, which is not that far away now, the last week of November.
John StanleyHOST
And there has been today... a political move by the Victorian government on the question of abortion, because the One Nation leader in Victoria has talked about winding back the laws on abortion.
John StanleyHOST
And so this was seen, obviously, by the Labor Party as an opportunity to make abortions free, so to cover the cost of abortion care.
John StanleyHOST
This applies in the ACT, as I understand it.
John StanleyHOST
And he was then the Premier, who's, I guess we talk about him, the embattled Premier Ben Carroll, who I think has no hope of winning the election.
John StanleyHOST
But he thought, well, if I can try and wedge the Liberal leader, Jess Wilson, into being equivocal on this, maybe it'll try to tie her into the One Nation side.
John StanleyHOST
But as I understand it in the last few hours...
John StanleyHOST
She's told The Guardian, and I'm having a look online there, there's some quotes from her saying that they'll match Labor's commitment.
Tom ElliottHOST
The coalition, Jess Wilson, and she'll be joining us on the program next week.
Tom ElliottHOST
We're going to have these regular interviews with her, possibly Warren Pickering from One Nation and with Ben Carroll in the lead up to next month's election.
Tom ElliottHOST
But they have promised to try and do something about taxes like land tax and payroll tax if they win.
Tom ElliottHOST
The problem is because Victoria's debt is so high, there's not much they can do.
