Rogue former Coalition MP George Christensen has prompted one of the early surprises of the 2022 election campaign today by announcing he will run for Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party.

Former colleague Matt Canavan told Luke Grant that the decision is just “politics”.

“You have to wonder what is the reason.”
