Angus Taylor was also asked to weigh into Pauline Hanson's accusations the government has crossed a line with its political rhetoric.

The One Nation leader yesterday accused Anthony Albanese of crossing a line by saying the minor party sought to divide Australia while also claiming "hard right populists" were peddling dangerous and divisive politics.

Taylor initially says he's "not going to get into commentary" on whether the rhetoric was inciting political violence.

"I did see the prime minister talking about his political opponents being too busy, dangerous, and dishonest. I'll tell you whose divisive, dangerous, dishonest, that's the prime minister," he says.

"He divided Australians by race on the Voice. What he has failed to do, on many things, including with Islamist extremism and the royal commission on antisemitism, he's failed to deal with dangerous situations."

Opposition Leader Angus Taylor is asked what lessons he draws from One Nation's victory in the recent WA state by-election.

The minor party took out the electorate of Secret Harbour which was previously a safe Labor seat.

Taylor says "no seat is safe in this environment" and we "should never take any seat for granted" as voters are "angry and frustrated".

"We know no side of politics is immune from the anger and frustration of Australian voters. And I made that every clear. I'm conscious of that," he says.

"And we have to respect the voters anger and frustration. It's crucial that we do. I'm not sure the prime minister does. But I do."

Opposition Leader Angus Taylor says his "heart bleeds" for those who have lost or lost contact with loved ones after the Nepal flood disaster.
