Pauline Hanson has rocketed past Anthony Albanese as Australians' first choice for prime minister, with One Nation now leading both major parties on primary vote while the Coalition has crashed to a record low in the latest Resolve Political Monitor.

It's a political earthquake. The poll, published today, shows One Nation's primary vote has surged past Labor and the Liberal-National Coalition. Hanson herself has become the preferred prime minister, knocking Albanese from the top spot.

The Coalition is now sitting at its lowest primary vote in Resolve history. That's a brutal result for Peter Dutton, who took over after the last election hoping to rebuild.

Labor won't be celebrating either. Albanese losing the preferred PM title to Hanson — a figure long seen as a fringe player — is a massive warning sign for the government.

The Resolve Political Monitor is one of the country's most closely watched polls. It surveys voters on who they'd pick for PM and which party they'd back. This result shows a deep dissatisfaction with the major parties.

Hanson's rise comes as voters grow frustrated with cost-of-living pressures and housing affordability. One Nation has been hammering those issues, along with immigration and energy policy.

The poll also comes amid a chaotic week in politics. Donald Trump berated Israel over airstrikes on Lebanon that could wreck a potential peace deal with Iran. The US President called on both sides to "stand down".

Meanwhile, Labor is sending a delegation to Asia this week to head off a diplomatic crisis over its plans to force gas exporters to hold back supplies for domestic use. That's angered key trading partners.

Defence is also in the spotlight. New analysis warns that China's expanding nuclear submarine fleet and long-range missiles are boosting its ability to hit targets in Australia. The threat could grow dramatically over the next decade.

And in a tragic story, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is helping the family of a nine-year-old West Australian girl shot dead by police in Pakistan. Local media say she and her family were mistaken for armed robbers.

On a brighter note, Australia's newest football sensation Nestory Irankunda says the Socceroos are determined to show the world they can "do something special" after starting their World Cup campaign with a 2-0 win over Turkey.

Back to the poll: this is a massive shift. One Nation hasn't been this strong since the late 1990s. If an election were held today, Hanson could hold the balance of power.

The question now is whether the major parties can win back voters. Albanese will need to deliver on cost-of-living and housing. Dutton has to find a message that cuts through.

For now, Pauline Hanson is the most popular politician in the country. That's a sentence nobody expected to write.
