Victoria's premier has said he is terrified by the rising popularity of One Nation.
Victorian Premier Ben Carroll has declared "One Nation terrifies me" as he escalated the state Labor party's warning about the prospect of the Coalition governing with Pauline Hanson's party after November's state election.
Ms Wilson said she had not spoken to One Nation Victorian leader Warren Pickering and urged voters to "fix this state" by voting for the Coalition.
Its latest survey of almost 2,400 Victorian voters conducted earlier this month put the Coalition on 29 per cent, One Nation on 25 per cent and Labor on 24 per cent of the primary vote.

The article, shortened and in plain language
Victoria's premier has said he is terrified by the rising popularity of One Nation.
Recent opinion polling has the Coalition in front, followed by One Nation and the current Labor government.
Victorian Premier Ben Carroll has declared "One Nation terrifies me" as he escalated the state Labor party's warning about the prospect of the Coalition governing with Pauline Hanson's party after November's state election.
One Nation has recently won seats in by-elections, first in the federal NSW seat of Farrer and in the WA state seat of Secret Harbour.
Since becoming Victoria's premier in July, Mr Carroll has used the possibility of a Coalition-One Nation government as a central plank of Labor's campaign for re-election, as support for the party has surged in the state.
Asked if he was worried about One Nation's rise, Mr Carroll admitted the prospect "terrifies him".
While Mr Carroll was concerned about One Nation, that was not the case for Victorian Liberal leader Jess Wilson.
Ms Wilson said she had not spoken to One Nation Victorian leader Warren Pickering and urged voters to "fix this state" by voting for the Coalition.
Redbridge insights adviser Kristy McSweeney — who is a former political advisor and contested the 2022 federal election as the Liberal candidate for the Western Australian seat of Swan — said Mr Carroll was ramping up his One Nation warnings to specifically target disillusioned Labor voters who were considering switching their vote.
Its latest survey of almost 2,400 Victorian voters conducted earlier this month put the Coalition on 29 per cent, One Nation on 25 per cent and Labor on 24 per cent of the primary vote.
