🇦🇺 Do you think One Nation is becoming a major force in Australian politics?

One Nation is attracting significant attention in Australian politics, particularly ahead of Victoria’s 28 November state election. Recent RedBridge polling of almost 2,400 Victorian voters recorded primary support at 29% for the Coalition, 25% for One Nation and 24% for Labor. These are polling measurements, not an election result or forecast.

The party has also recently won the Secret Harbour by-election in Western Australia, securing its first lower-house seat in the state.

At the same time, One Nation’s policies and its possible relationship with the Liberals remain heavily debated, and Liberal figures have rejected Barnaby Joyce’s recent claims about possible cooperation talks.

🇦🇺 Do Australian farmers deserve more support from the government?

Australian farmers play a major role in producing the food Australians rely on and supporting regional communities and exports. But many farming communities also face pressures from drought, water availability, rising input costs and changing conditions.

Water policy is again part of the political debate, with One Nation MP David Farley calling for some environmental water in the Murray–Darling Basin to be made available for agricultural use during drought. Supporters say farmers need greater flexibility in difficult periods, while environmental groups argue protected water is essential for keeping rivers and ecosystems healthy.

❤️ YES — our farmers deserve more support
👍 NO — current support is enough

🇦🇺 Should the Liberals work with One Nation to form a minority government if they need the numbers?

A new political dispute has erupted after One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce said he had spoken with “very, very senior Liberals” about a possible confidence-and-supply arrangement following the next federal election. Joyce says this would not be a formal Coalition agreement.

However, Opposition Leader Angus Taylor says no such talks took place with him and he authorised nobody to hold them on his behalf. Shadow Treasurer Tim Wilson also rejected Joyce’s account.

So at this stage, a Liberal–One Nation agreement is not an established deal — there are conflicting accounts about discussions.

❤️ YES
👍 NO

🇦🇺 Should Australia stand up to the US when it disagrees with Australian laws?

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has pushed back against criticism from the Trump administration over Australia’s proposed digital duty of care laws. The US government has argued the proposal could facilitate censorship and has called for US social-media companies to be excluded from parts of the planned regime.

Albanese says the proposal is about giving Australians more control over what they see online, including the ability to opt out of algorithmic recommendation feeds. He says Australia will defend its national interests while continuing to engage with the US before the legislation is finalised.

Coalition frontbencher Andrew Bragg has also raised concerns that the proposed rules could create censorship risks and give too much power to regulators.

❤️ YES
👍 NO

🇦🇺 Should people who create sexually explicit AI deepfakes without consent face jail time?

This issue is in the spotlight today after a young South Australian woman told the District Court about the impact of sexually explicit AI deepfakes created and shared without her consent. The man involved has pleaded guilty to two offences and is due to be sentenced in October; he faces a maximum penalty of seven years in prison.

Australia already has federal laws targeting non-consensual sexual material created or altered using technology, while eSafety also treats digitally altered intimate images as image-based abuse.

❤️ YES — jail should be an available punishment
👍 NO — other penalties may be more appropriate

Are Australia’s laws tough enough to deal with AI deepfakes? 👇🇦🇺

🇦🇺 Should Australians be allowed to use their super to help buy their first home?

A fresh debate has emerged over whether Australians should have more flexibility to use their superannuation to enter the housing market.

Shadow Housing Minister Andrew Bragg has floated options including allowing super to help with a home deposit, mortgage payments or as security for a home loan. The Coalition has not announced this as formal policy, and the details remain under discussion.

Supporters argue it could help more Australians achieve home ownership. Critics of super-for-housing proposals have warned that accessing retirement savings for housing could reduce retirement balances and potentially add pressure to house prices.

❤️ YES — give people more control over their super
👍 NO — super should remain focused on retirement

🇦🇺 Is Australia changing too quickly because of population growth?

Australia’s population reached about 27.9 million by March 2026, increasing by around 392,700 people (1.4%) over the previous 12 months. Net overseas migration accounted for about 292,100 of that increase, according to the latest ABS figures released on 17 September.

Population growth can support the economy and workforce, while it can also increase demand for housing, infrastructure and public services. How Australia manages that growth remains an ongoing public-policy debate.

❤️ YES — things are changing too quickly
👍 NO — population growth is manageable

🇦🇺 Should convicted rapists face life imprisonment in Australia?

Victoria’s Labor government has announced that, if re-elected in November, it would increase the maximum penalty for r**e from 25 years to life imprisonment. Maximum penalties for other serious sexual offences would also rise by five years.

The proposed reforms also include tougher family-violence offences and changes intended to better protect victim-survivors during court proceedings. Opposition Leader Jess Wilson has argued the reforms should have come sooner.

The life-imprisonment proposal is not yet law — it is a Victorian Labor election commitment ahead of the November 28 state election.

What do you think? 🇦🇺

❤️ YES
👍 NO

Should life imprisonment be available as the maximum sentence for r**e? 👇

🇦🇺 Should people who commit another serious offence while on bail automatically go to jail?

Queensland’s government is pushing ahead with its proposed “breach bail, go to jail” laws. Under the proposal, a person who commits certain serious offences while already on bail for a serious offence could face a mandatory 12-month prison sentence. The proposal would apply to both adults and young offenders.

The government argues tougher consequences are needed for repeat offending while on bail. Critics, including legal and community organisations, have raised concerns about mandatory sentencing and whether it will actually reduce crime.

What do you think, Australia? 🇦🇺

❤️ YES — tougher consequences for repeat offending
👍 NO — judges should decide each case

Are Australia’s bail laws tough enough? 👇

🇦🇺 Should Australian schools put more focus on national pride and Western values?

The Coalition has today unveiled plans for a major overhaul of Australia’s national curriculum. Shadow Education Minister Julian Leeser says students should learn more explicitly about concepts including democracy, the rule of law, Australia’s constitutional system, literature, art and philosophy, while schools would also be encouraged to fly the Australian flag.

The proposal would also remove the existing cross-curriculum priorities, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures, sustainability and Australia’s engagement with Asia. Leeser says these subjects would not disappear entirely but instead be taught within relevant subjects such as history and science. Critics are concerned the changes could reduce the prominence of First Nations perspectives.

What do you think, Australia? 🇦🇺

❤️ YES — more focus on national pride and Western values
👍 NO — keep the current approach
