Senator Ketter, that is just not true. That is just not true. If you'd been listening to my friend Senator Macdonald in the take note debate yesterday, you would know that the LNP has made no preference deals whatsoever with One Nation. No preference deals with One Nation, no coalition, no shared ministry—none whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Senator Ketter, you sit in a caucus with colleagues who were elected to this parliament on One Nation preferences. I remember being a scrutineer in the seat of Herbert last year when the member for Herbert, Cathy O'Toole, was returned to the House of Representatives on the back of One Nation preferences. And she wasn't the only one.

The people of Queensland have a clear choice at the Queensland election between the incompetent Palaszczuk Labor government and Tim Nicholls's LNP.
