00:02A political earthquake in South Australia that's sending shockwaves to Victoria.
00:11So if you're from Victoria, you're watching this, we're coming to support you down there.
00:17Victoria's November election is now in one nation's crosshairs after the party delivered
00:21its best electoral result in almost 30 years, decimating the Liberal Party in the process.
00:27We are seeing a complete restructure of politics in this country.
00:31I'm excited at fantastic news and it's great news for the people of South Australia.
00:36One nation's surging primary votes has so far translated into just one lower house seat in South Australia.
00:42But pollsters say up to a dozen seats from both the coalition and Labor could be up for grabs in
00:48Victoria.
00:49The Victorian populace is a lot more unhappier than South Australia.
00:53So there's also a lot more potential for volatility.
00:57The coalition has downplayed the threat, despite needing to pick up another 16 seats to form government.
01:03We know if people spray to other parties, there is more chance of getting Jacinta Allen elected again in November.
01:09And people can't risk that.
01:11The Libs should not be spooked by that.
01:14They've got to make sure that they remain disciplined.
01:18They've got to make sure they put an offering to the people that is responsible.
01:21As Labor sought to tie the Liberals to One Nation.
01:25Well, it's only Labor that will stop the division, the hurt, the pain that comes from Liberal National Party cuts
01:33and One Nation division.
01:34In May, all eyes will be on the Nepean by-election.
01:38With Labor not contesting the seat, it's shaping up to be a battle between the Liberals and One Nation.
01:44And the first major test of Pauline Hanson's party support in Victoria.
01:49If One Nation has a good day there, that's fairly ominous.
01:53Because if they're picking up a lot of votes in that place of the world, then the potential for One
01:58Nation in a place like Hastings is significant.
02:01The reverberations are already being felt in Canberra.
02:04One Nation, having been around for now 30 years, are yet to have ever delivered a budget.
02:10They haven't delivered a hospital.
02:11They haven't delivered a road.
02:13A new chapter in the political playbook.
