Former Liberal senator Cory Bernardi has recently aligned himself with One Nation, as the party experiences a notable rise in the polls.
Sources indicate that Pauline Hanson is preparing to announce Bernardi as the leading candidate for the upper house in the upcoming South Australian election.
Bernardi’s political career spans nearly a decade, having served as a senator until his departure in 2020.
After leaving the Liberal Party, he launched his own political group, the Australian Conservatives, which unfortunately struggled to gain traction among the electorate.
Since stepping away from his political career, Bernardi has ventured into the business world, operating as an oyster farmer and restaurateur on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula.
He aims to make those experiences in the regions and running a business part of his campaign focus.
Ahead of today’s announcement, Bernardi praised One Nation’s progress in the polls on social media and said he would be “lending my shoulder to the ON wheel”.
“I’m so happy that their time has come, and the country looks intent on changing the current course of politics,” he said.
