Cory Bernardi

Cory Bernardi is a former Liberal senator and Sky News commentator who has recently joined One Nation and is set to run in the upcoming South Australian state election. He previously served under Liberal leaders such as Malcolm Turnbull and Tony Abbott before leaving the party to form the Australian Conservatives, which has since dissolved. Bernardi's move to One Nation is newsworthy as Pauline Hanson's party attempts to capitalize on growing support in South Australia. Recent news also highlights potential legal issues surrounding flights Bernardi took with Hanson on a plane registered to Gina Rinehart's company, raising questions about compliance with South Australia's donation laws. His involvement is significant as One Nation aims to contest every seat in the state election, testing the party's appeal to voters and the broader political landscape.
