Day 19 of the federal election campaign ends with the Prime Minister distancing himself from the National Party's approach to dealing with Pauline Hanson's party.
The scandal engulfing One Nation bumped businessman Clive Palmer from the minds of the major party leaders for at least a few hours.
"I appreciate that some members of One Nation have done some rather interesting things lately, and said some things that are quite unpalatable," Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack said.But the unpleasantness wasn't enough to convince Mr McCormack to change his approach to dealing with One Nation.
"And the fact is that the National Party policies, probably, closer align with One Nation, than they ever were with the Greens or Labor." "We're two separate parties and there is no deal between the National Party and One Nation," he said.
