'An absolute disgrace': roads, health and crime drive regional surge to One Nation

Regional voters are increasingly backing One Nation as frustration with roads, health services and crime grows, a Stock & Land report says. The publication says those three issues are fuelling a notable shift toward the party, with residents describing the situation as "an absolute disgrace." The surge signals rising political discontent in parts of the regions where infrastructure, access to health care and public safety are top concerns. The movement to One Nation reflects voters prioritising immediate, local problems over other policy debates. Political parties and local authorities now face pressure to respond to visible service shortfalls and community anxiety about crime and health access.
