Pauline Hanson's One Nation has surged to first place in national polls for the first time in the party's 29-year history, recording a primary vote of 29.5% in the latest Roy Morgan poll — more than tripling its 2025 election result of 6.4%. The surge, driven by post-budget voter anger, cost-of-living pressures, and a collapse in Coalition support, raises fundamental questions about the durability of Australia's two-party system, even as preferential voting remains a significant barrier to One Nation translating polls into House of Representatives seats.
