One Nation experienced a rise with an early swing back to the right-wing party in lower house, which emboldened the right despite the national Labor victory. Despite the Coalition’s loss, the right-wing parties picked up votes in both houses with early national senate counting for both One Nation and Clive Palmer’s Trumpets of Patriots posting a near 3 per cent swing towards them.

The Coalition have called for Anthony Albanese to “be honest” about Labor’s intentions to bring back a rejected Voice to Parliament by stealth if re-elected.

Opposition leader Peter Dutton said Ms Wells was “obviously lending her support to Penny Wong’s position”.
