'Bizarre display of gutter politics': WA One Nation leader returns serve to premier’s broadside West Australian Premier Roger Cook has launched a scathing attack on One Nation for promoting candidates with dubious backgrounds, but the move reveals a worrying trend within his own party: an opportunistic willingness to play dirty when it suits them.
One Nation's WA leader Rod Caddies was quick to retaliate, accusing Cook of using "desperate and bizarre tactics" in an attempt to discredit the opposition.
The premier's decision to highlight Georgia Tree's 2021 podcast comments about potential "skeletons in the closet" within Labor seems like a calculated move to shift attention away from One Nation's own controversies.
