FED:Libs have 'no plan' to carve out seats with One Nation

The Liberal Party has no plan to "carve up seats" with One Nation to oust Labor from power, after a surge in support for Pauline Hanson's party.

As alarm grows within the coalition over One Nation's rise in the polls, Opposition Leader Angus Taylor rejected doing a deal with Senator Hanson on which seats they should avoid running competing candidates in, which could bolster the chance of a Labor defeat at the next federal election.

"No, there's no plan to carve up seats. We won't be doing that," he told ABC News Breakfast on Thursday.

"What we will be doing is focusing on a Labor government that's taking this country in the wrong direction with higher taxes, with less houses, with immigration that has not been in line with our housing supply, and with an energy system that is broken.''
