Live: Joyce says dynamics have changed after WA by-election win
Barnaby Joyce says people would be "foolish" not to believe the dynamics of politics have changed after One Nation's victory in a West Australian by-election. Follow live.
Australian politician Barnaby Joyce claims the political landscape has changed post- victory by One Nation in a Western Australia state by-election. The Australian government has allocated an additional $3 million in humanitarian aid to Nepal, primarily for distributing hygiene kits and solar lights. Assistant Foreign Minister Matt Thistlethwaite explains that the disaster has left the region without power and telecommunications infrastructure.
The number of Australians missing in the Nepal-Tibet flood disaster has risen to 43, with the government continuing its efforts to recover them. Meanwhile, 16 people were killed and 546 are missing in China. Labor frontbencher Murray Watt was also present for a breakfast television panel, urging against over-interpreting the by-election results.
However, he acknowledges the political shift and stresses Labor's commitment to delivering change and highlighting risks from potential alliances.
