Milestone Reached! Australian Right Surges Toward Polling at 30%
9th February 2026
Australia’s right-wing One Nation party (ONP) is experiencing one of its most dramatic surges in decades, as it reaches an unprecedented 27% in the latest Newspoll.
The Australian reports that the Coalition has fallen to just 18%, split between 15% for the Liberals and 3% for the Nationals, marking its worst result to date. Labor edges higher to 33%, while the Greens remain steady at 12%.
The collapse in Liberal support has triggered a wave of internal panic. Party leader Sussan Ley has recorded just 23% approval—the lowest for any major party leader in 23 years. Senior figures warn that the Coalition is on the brink of “electoral annihilation” unless it changes course.
