\u201cI can understand people being turned off politics,\u201d Ms Wong told David and Will on FIVEAA Breakfast.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn government Labor didn\u2019t do as well as we should\u2019ve.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we were effective in terms of policy, but we didn\u2019t do as well in terms of our internals.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a lesson we needed to learn, and we have learned,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Senator Wong sounded a warning about Nick Xenophon candidates, who are polling strongly in several SA seats.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany of his candidates are not going to be like Nick, and we know that because of what we saw in the State Parliament,\u201d Ms Wong said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you\u2019re voting for Nick, you\u2019re actually voting for a range of other people, many of whom you don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
\u201cNick\u2019s in an experiment. He\u2019s wanting to go national. His brand has been a very effective advocate for South Australia, I think going national is going to change what sort of approach he takes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho knows what their vision of Australia is?\u201d<\/p>\n
