  1. The liberals and nationals can’t agree on this anymore. Adding one nation sure as hell won’t help.

  2. I’m also offering to form a coalition government after the next election, I will be leader of course but not fussed as to which party falls into line behind me.

  3. She does need to win some seats first, does she know that? You can’t govern on opinion polls, especially mid election cycle ones.

  4. If they did that wouldn’t the few moderates left in the Liberal party become Teals or independents?

    Seems like they’d gain nothing except branding themselves as firmly far right and driving the centre leaning voters more towards Labor

  5. Remarkable_Custard on

    And in 2026, exactly 100 years since the rise of Nazism, the incarnation of Hitler himself has been reborn into an old woman with red hair.

    I hope she truly never succeeds at a single damn thing in her life.

  6. How would this work? They campaign and are only relevant in die hard lib nats seats. Seats Labor and the Greens can’t ever win. So this would gain them no seats as a coalition.

  7. A coalition of Liberals, Nationals, LNP, One nation would be peak comedy.

    This term a Nat has defected to the libs, the coalition split twice, a Nat defected to ON, Nats have had a spill, and the lib Right are ready for a spill but they can’t work out who’s gonna do it.

    Totally ready to govern.

  8. I mean isnt this the Liberal parties problem ? They’re not right wing enough. That’s what’s been the issue for the past decade….

    Clive Palmer with a very Freudian slip:

    > “Well, you know that my history is that I’ve been a member of the National Party for 40 years on their executive as their spokesman,’’ he said.

    >“So naturally, I now remember people in the *nationalists* on a very close basis.

  10. This shit is a fuckin psyop I swear.

    Pauline clearly has better and more highly paid pr people and they’re doing everything they can do to legitimise Pauline as a potential leader – facts be damned.

    Another Gina funded special project hooray.

  11. Does anybody with half a brain actually want this moron running the country?

    Not that it’s remotely possible. Can you imagine the shitfights Hanson would get into.

    >Senator Hanson also accused the Nationals and the Liberals of copy-cat politics that rip off her ideas.

    Lol

  12. You want a name that suits but isn’t too on the nose. Something like “The Ausxist Powers”

  13. burn_supermarkets on

    I long for a day when “news” sites stop working for her by reporting this shit

  14. This is such a dumb move even if it’s completely unserious. For the libs, nats and ON to hold a balance of power, unofficially or not, there are a huge number of lib/lab swing voters in non-teal seats you need to convince to vote liberal. Any even slight suggestion that libs would share power with ON will completely turn them off and make some marginal seats swing even harder to Labor.

  15. It’s all about saying stupid things to get press. People vote based on who they know. She will keep saying stupid shit until the election and the media will keep feeding the beast. See Trump.

    Downvote and move on.

  16. Especially because it is all because Gina throw cash at ON marketing so we are getting inundated with ON stories. On which there is zero basis in reality.

  17. Wasn’t them not being a major party one of the only draw points of the onenation party?

  18. The future is the uniparty replaced by coalitions.

    The non-authoritarian part of left, that practices tolerance and real diversity, must replace the present day left wing.

    One Nation articles everywhere at the moment. Suddenly One Nation has almost as much support as the coalition?? I call bullshit. It’s just manufactured garbage by a few billionaires and fossil fuel/mining interests attempting to astroturf support for their chosen lap dog far right politicians.

  20. She seems to be polling well with young angry men (the same shit happened in America) and look at the mess they have now. Do people EVER learn?

  21. Peter Dutton – “I did more to destroy the political right in Australia than anyone else in living memory”

    Pauline Hanson – “Hold my swastika!”

  22. Do people realise how old she actually is? She’s 71.

    Sure, you can argue ‘oh, it’s not that old’.

    The late, great Catherine O’Hara was only 71.

    Pauline has been in and out of politics since the 90s. She has made no effort to groom a decent successor. It’s all about her. None of her rabid fans know anything about her party other than the vitriol that spews from *her* mouth.

    May the wretched party disband with her when she retires. Or dies. Whichever comes first.

  23. Please smart people get into politics. Please please please. Where are the scientists, academics etc.
