国民党领袖马特·卡纳万将在下届联邦大选中竞选昆士兰州的一个联邦众议院席位，此举可能让他与保琳·汉森的幕僚长正面交锋。
The Nationals leader, Matt Canavan, will run in a lower house Queensland seat at the next federal election, in a move that may see him face off with Pauline Hanson's chief of staff.
这一宣布是在卡皮科尼亚选区联邦众议员米歇尔·兰德里宣布退休之后作出的，可能导致卡纳万与詹姆斯·阿什比在争夺地区席位的重大战役中对决。
The announcement follows the retirement of the Capricornia MP Michelle Landry, and could result in a contest against James Ashby in a major battle for regional seats.
卡纳万周一对《信使邮报》表示：“问题在于我们需要保住这个席位以实现政权更迭，我希望我们能继续为昆士兰中部交付成果。”
"The issue is we need to keep this seat to change the government, and I want us to continue to deliver for central Queensland," Canavan told the Courier Mail on Monday.
“我不认为你们会对这个宣布感到惊讶，但我不会带着遗憾离开。我可能会在政治上‘死’掉，但我不会带着遗憾‘死’掉。我会全力以赴。”
"I don't think you'll be surprised by this announcement but I'm not going to die wondering. I may very well die politically, but I'm not going to die wondering. I'll give it my all." Landry, based in Rockhampton, announced her decision last month to retire from politics and not to recontest her seat at the next election.
总部设在罗克汉普顿的兰德里上月宣布决定退出政坛，不再竞选连任。
The Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie said One Nation should not be fighting to win Coalition-held seats if the party was serious about taking on Labor.
国民党参议员布里奇特·麦肯齐表示，如果一国党真想对抗工党，就不应争夺联盟党持有的席位。
"If One Nation is really serious about firing the liar, then they need to start running in Labor party seats instead of running against someone like Matt Canavan," she told Nine's Today show.
她在九号电视台《今日秀》节目中表示：“如果一国党真的想‘解雇那个骗子’，他们就应该开始在工党席位提名候选人，而不是与马特·卡纳万这样的人对抗。”
"[I'm] not afraid of a fight – I want to save our country, and that means changing the prime minister, and that means taking Labor party seats."
“[我]不怕战斗——我想拯救我们的国家，这意味着更换总理，也意味着夺取工党席位。”更多内容敬请关注……
