Nationals leader Matt Canavan is reportedly considering a move to the House of Representatives, potentially for the Queensland seat of Capricornia, following veteran MP Michelle Landry's announcement that she will not recontest the seat. This speculation comes as pollster Kos Samaras of Redbridge warns that Canavan faces a "zero per cent" chance of retaining his Senate position if current polling trends for the One Nation party continue. Samaras indicated that One Nation's surge could lead to a "complete wipeout" of Coalition seats in Queensland, including Senate positions. Landry also criticized One Nation, describing their campaign tactics as "obnoxious" and "not very pleasant."
