Matt Canavan is talking sense on the US-Israel war in Iran

What a strange week it has been to see both Matt Canavan and his former mentor Barnaby Joyce making rational and logical points.

Canavan clinched his narrow victory in the Nationals leadership contest by promising to take the fight to One Nation, but he did not disappoint by exposing Pauline Hanson’s lack of policy and xenophobia in his opening media conference. Canavan, normally a fire-breathing right winger, denounced his divisiveness, prompting an angry retort that Canavan had been “woke” by the weak Hanson. Good luck selling the “The beast is wide awake” line, Pauline.
