"“Well, there’ll be no preference deals with One Nation,” he said......

Hanson, curiously, interpreted this as a decision to rule out giving One Nation any preferences at all on Liberal Party how-to-vote cards. She issued a statement saying Morrison "deserves to lose the next election" for his announcement.....

This is still a live option for the Liberals and Nationals – and another example of the constant difficulty for the conservative side of politics in deciding whether to condemn Hanson or cooperate with her."
