Introduction

The One Nation party won a seat in the House of Representatives. This is their first win in this part of the government.

Main Body

One Nation won the Farrer seat. The Coalition party held this seat for 77 years. Now, the Coalition has very few votes. David Farley won for One Nation. Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce lead One Nation. They want more voters in big cities like Western Sydney. They want people who are unhappy with the government. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is planning the new budget. The government will spend 500 million dollars on the environment. They might also change tax rules to help people buy houses. Also, the government helped Australians return home from a sick cruise ship.

Conclusion

One Nation is now a strong party. The Coalition lost many voters. The Labor government is changing its money plans.

⚡️ The 'Action' Word Shift

Look at how the story talks about the past versus the future. This is the key to moving from A1 to A2.

1. What already happened (Past) We use a simple change to the word to show the action is finished.

  • Win → Won
  • Hold → Held
  • Lose → Lost

Example: "One Nation won the seat." (It is over. It happened.)

2. What will happen (Future) To talk about plans, we use a "helping word" before the action.

  • Will spend
  • Might change

Example: "The government will spend 500 million dollars." (This is a plan for later.)

Quick Comparison: Past (Finished) →\rightarrow Won Future (Plan) →\rightarrow Will win
