Joyce says One Nation will 'go for government' after historic win
Moderated by Tomas Kauer 
Barnaby Joyce said One Nation is looking to target urban seats in parts of Sydney after their historic Farrer by-election win, claiming the party is aiming for government.
One Nation won its first-ever seat in the House of Representatives, with David Farley claiming the seat of former Liberal leader Sussan Ley in a canter, sending shockwaves through Australia's political sphere.
Farley secured 57 per cent of the two-party preferred vote, with the Liberal Party polling at just 12 per cent, raising existential questions about their future.

However, Joyce insists One Nation won't rest on their laurels, and will target seats in parts of Western Sydney he claims could shift as part of the orange wave.
"I tell you what, I've met some people from the western suburbs of Sydney who are pretty happy that One Nation is on the move," he claimed on Today.
"This is not an issue that is about regional Australia, this is about [all of] Australia."

He said recent results in Farrer and in the South Australian state election had removed previous tags over the party, and that One Nation was aiming to be in power rather than "maintaining the status quo."
"I don't think people see One Nation as racist; they view them as tough," he said.
"People say Labor are so strong in the western suburbs, Labor didn't even turn up to the Farrer by-election, that's how strong they are."
He also dismissed the idea that the route back to power for the conservative side of politics is to win back inner-city seats.

"[People say] 'You've got to win back Teal seats', no you don't, you've got to look after people in the regional areas and the western suburbs of the major capitals," he claimed.
Some commentators have suggested the Liberal Party and One Nation could come together to form a Coalition government that could challenge Labor, an idea that was not dismissed by Liberal MP Tim Wilson yesterday.
However, Joyce insisted this was off the table, saying he would rather chase "policy outcomes" than ministries.
"We don't want your ministries, keep your ministries and your salaries. You've got all of the prizes, but you will deliver policy outcomes, because we will not be constricted by cabinet solidarity that has done over the Australian people," he said.
