Ould have loved to have been in the room when Pauline and Barnaby heard about this.
How long until he becomes an independent?
“The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them.”
Is he doing a reverse John Fetterman?
How’d an openly gay man with a Indo-Muslim boyfriend pass ON pre-selection? Why’d he even join the fucking party in the first place?
Probably because he’s a political opportunist who shifted parties many times and just wants the power of parliament. so independent sooner than later.
At what point do you think it will be revealed that this was a big performance art piece that got way out of hand?
Jason isn’t very bright
Crocodile tears (idiom):
1. A false, insincere display of emotion
2. This speech
first in line for the… I never thought the Leopards would eat MY face”
*But the leopards wouldn’t eat my face.*
-Jason Virgo, 2026
Labor is the party of cry baby’s like Albo over the weekend, how did this bloke wind up with ON?
Someone that will team up with anyone just to stay suckling on the government teat. I’m sure he’ll do great things for his constituents…
Maybe he’s a spy? Sacrificing himself to make ON look stupid
If he had any principles he would never represent One Notion. I’d say he’s lying already to avoid people knowing he’s racist. Two things they hate; people calling them racist and non whites.
Seems that political ambitions make strange bedfellows. I am seeing a quickie divorce in their future.
JFC 😂😂😂😂
I’ve heard everything now 😂😂😂
Did he not know what the party stands for when he signed up to be a candidate? Did the voters know this about him before they voted?
Fucking crazy outcome
This is unbelievable. An immigrant, gay, Muslim, boyfriend, you couldn’t make this up. Literally a list of things Pauline hates the most.
So what say you One Reinhart supporters, if she can’t even control her own party, why the fuck do you think she can run the country?
Australias stupidest moment.
It would be quite funny if a lot of left-wing minor party people managed to win One Nation preselection and destroy the party.
Behold the duality of the unvetted One Nation candidate.
Candidate 1: Loves immigrants, loves Muslims, is gay, has a Muslim boyfriend.
Candidate 2: Rapist.
The next few years will be entertaining. Like yeah I know one nation is going well in the polls but they remain organisationally inept, if they genuinely become opposition in any state or federally, it’ll be as fleeting as the NDP opposition in Canada, but a lot more wacky and unhinged.
I wonder how long he will stay in the party
Pauline be like “I want my mps to be hard on immigrants, wait not like that”
if One Nation voters ever paid attention to parliament they’d be very upset
No wonder this party is full of inadequacy and chaos. Some of the dumbest people in parliament.
Cory Bernadi is going to shit blue lights.
Holy shit, this isn’t a satire headline? What the fuck is happening over there?
For those that didn’t (or didn’t want to) read the article, he tells about his love of immigrants, talks about partner and immigrant friends, but states immigration levels are too high.
Completely on brand for ON.
And smart recruiting – he gives more centrist conservatives (like Teals) the veneer of being progressive whilst they support hard right policies.
Ahh the token gay guy to make one nation look like they have changed when in fact they are worse than ever!
Bloke has just wanted to be in Parliament his whole life (Sex party, Labor, now ON) and is just willing to do anything. He lusts after power.
Reminds me of Germany’s afd which is anti-gay, anti-immigration, yet Alice, the party leader, is a lesbian, married to a Sri Lankan and the both live in Switzerland. They also hold a 25% vote. Make it make sense. I swear this is a social experiment…
I have a friend who is gay with a Muslim boyfriend who one nation is trying to convince to run for them at an upcoming election. I was so shocked to find they convinced someone else with a similar situation. I don’t know how this happens.
The more who infiltrate the better. At some point they are going to have a “night of the long knives” to expel anyone not extreme enough to maintain their extremist purity. I wish no ill-will on Mr Virgo
One Nation being full of unprincipled opportunists honestly sounds preferable to it being full of people who actually align with One Nation’s values.
