Yeah, it's not great.
I'd look to explain it as part of the flight of voters from the Liberal party, but would people who were turned off by Dutton really choose to vote for One Nation instead?
I think, unfortunately, it's probably genuine gains by PHON, and unlikely to just evaporate at the next election.
