π° What Happened
Vikki Campion has started working part-time as a media adviser for One Nation in New South Wales. She is a News Corp columnist and the wife of federal One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce. She is helping the party before the March state election. On Tuesday she also helped NSW One Nation leader Mike Newman at a press conference.
Campion says she reports to the NSW state executive, which is separate from federal One Nation. She writes a weekly column for the Saturday Telegraph.
π The Backstory
Campion worked as a media adviser to Joyce when he was deputy prime minister. The pair married in 2023, and Joyce left the Nationals to join One Nation last December. Her new role came after reports that another former Liberal figure, Katherine Deves, would run for One Nation in NSW.
The party says it has received more than 800 candidate applications. Campion told Guardian Australia she has no plans to run as a candidate herself.
π― Why It Matters
Politics and media are closely linked. Knowing who advises a party, and who writes its columns, helps voters weigh the news they read.
