Australia’s political leaders have taken a stand against extremism since the Christchurch terror attacks, but the ultimate test of their conviction will come in the weeks before the federal election.

Scott Morrison had a quick answer on this on Tuesday morning.

“Well, there’ll be no preference deals with One Nation,” he said.
