Tony Pasin

Tony Pasin is a conservative Liberal Member of Parliament representing the rural South Australian seat of Barker. He is also a shadow minister on the Liberal frontbench. Pasin has recently gained attention for urging Liberal leader Angus Taylor to "work hand-in-glove" with One Nation to counter the Labor party. This stance appears to put him at odds with other senior Liberals, such as Dan Tehan, who have explicitly stated that a coalition with One Nation is "not even being talked about" and that the Liberal party wishes to form a coalition solely with the National party. Pasin's call highlights a potential division within the Liberal party regarding electoral strategy and potential alliances with minor parties like One Nation, particularly in the lead-up to elections.
