There's been plenty of commentary this week about my remarks on One Nation.

Rather than rely on headlines, I want you to hear directly from me.

Pauline Hanson and James Ashby have made it clear on the public record that they’re targeting me in Canning.

But they haven’t just targeted my seat.

They’ve run a relentless campaign of personal attacks against me online.

It’s become serious enough that security at my home and electorate office needs to be upgraded.

I explained this to the Joint Party Room this week in Parliament, and my comments were briefed to the media.

Yes, I said I’d never surrender to One Nation.

And yes, I said that they’d have to take me out in a box before that happens.

Here are four takeaways for you:

1. One Nation has declared war on me, so they shall have war.

I won’t be pushed around by One Nation. Nor will I bow the knee to them.

This is now personal, and they will have to blast me out of Canning.

2. All this talk of preferences from some people in the Liberal Party is premature.

It signals weakness. We should only act from a position of strength.

If One Nation really wants to make peace, then come to the table. But it will be on our terms.

3. There's plenty of fight left in us.

We're firing up for the biggest battle since Sir Robert Menzies formed the Liberal Party in 1944.

I believe the Liberals can defeat Labor to win government, take back control of Australia, and build our nation into a respected regional power.

4. But if One Nation wants to meet us on the battlefield, then so be it.

They should heed Sun Tzu’s wisdom to never press a determined foe.

Two years is a long time in politics, and One Nation will be closely scrutinised.

The real enemy isn’t me. It’s Labor.

And here’s the irony: while One Nation is targeting me, Labor is targeting you.

If One Nation were serious about defeating Labor, they'd be in Parliament helping us stop Labor's new taxes instead of attacking Coalition MPs.

A case in point: Barnaby Joyce—one of the key architects of Australia’s disastrous Net Zero policy—didn’t turn up to Parliament to fight Labor’s new taxes.

Instead, he was off on a frolic in London.

One Nation are a rudderless super-yacht trying to navigate a dynamic world.

Meanwhile, the Liberals are gathering strength, and we will do what we must to defeat Labor.

We're working hard to get ready for the long campaign ahead.

What is our policy? End mass migration. Unlock our energy abundance by dumping Net Zero. Cut taxes for millions of Australians. Prepare for the AI revolution. Strengthen Australia’s security.

What is our aim? Defeat the Albanese government, and form a centre-right government that delivers our reform agenda for the Australian people.

We aren’t just preparing to fight—we're preparing to win.
