In this article, she mentions as her reasons for switching from Labor to One Nation as poor public transport in her area (a state issue, not Federal) and unaffordable housing (which the Labor party has addressed with radical tax changes in the latest budget).
In my opinion, there should be five True/False questions for every voter. You get the number of votes as you get correct answers in the quiz.
Simple questions, for example:
1. Vaccines do more good than harm
2. The earth is flat
3. Taxing gas exports could completely pay for free universal childcare and abolition of HECS
4. Climate change is a NASA hoax
5. Immigrants are the primary cause of house price increases
Answer 5 out of 5 correctly, you get 5 votes
Last weeks insight on SBS was about this. It was a bizarre watch.
This makes no sense, particularly for Western Sydney.
I haven’t read the ON manifesto but I’d imagine it goes like this: for every problem Australia faces, the root cause is either immigration or foreign influence. If only Australia can close its borders except to like-minded anglosphere countries, we’d prosper like we did in the early 1900’s.
>”My parents were immigrants. I’m not against immigration.
The “pulling up the ladder behind you” trope hits again. How easily these people forget that only a generation ago, there was still racial discrimination against people of Italian descent.
After the gay marriage plebiscite and the voice referendum, I wholeheartedly expect western Sydney to vote overwhelmingly for one nation. ON would be mad not to target that area for votes.
Major parties need to just leave them be
When a woman like Pauline Hanson has historically been so anti asian and anti-muslim, is it any wonder why she doesn’t get the asian or muslim vote? Or is this another Latinos for Trump situation where she will because the right wing rhetoric has so permeated social media and podcasts that people will think she will do anything thing to benefit the people at all when, historically, she never has aimed to. And just previously Australia was united against Gina Rhinehart, but now seem to be backing her champ. I don’t know anymore
It’s bizarre that ON are wanting to target Western Sydney so aggressively, considering the entire area is so immigrant heavy.
