Seems like Hanson is doing everything she can to throw all the fence sitting votes away.
For reference-
Liberal Party (traditionally centre-right, currently Right Wing) have all but imploded since last election, with most of the far right people moving over to Nationals or One Nation (Hanson’s party - both parties are far right)
Labor (traditionally centre-left, currently centre-right, in power but acting like they’re in opposition) have done exactly nothing this term but approve tax cuts for the ultra rich have been bleeding voters since they refuse to act on anything unless it’s a pay rise for themselves or extra perks/tax cuts/services for the 1%
This coming election was unfortunately her election to win - both majors are in the dumps (especially the libs) and she could quite easily have taken preferences from both sides.
I’m glad she’s making such a mess of it.
I’d like to see the non “primitives” survive in the deep central continent without “primitive” guidance
I am genuinely worried about the upcoming elections here. Pauline is one angle, but we will probably have a coalition government with the Liberal party (they are our politically right party, Labor is our left).
The policies in my city that are winning public sentiment include:
- Increasing the speed on a consistently gridlocked highway from 80 to 100km despite this demonstrably decreasing traffic flow (but I want to drive my Ute fast!!)
- Increasing regular rubbish collection to weekly, from fortnightly, despite this being a local council issue. Why? Because my bins are stinky!!!
- Increasing police jobs, despite there already being 1500 vacancies in my state. Too much crime!!
- Racism.
- Housing prices (my property value must go up, not down!!!) in serious - they are campaigning on making housing less affordable.
To make things worse, the Labor party currently in power recently changed leaders on account of a corruption allegation. The new leader is going and capitulating on a lot of things to try and stop the sway to Liberal/ one nation. Such as cutting the budget for the most influential and forward planning infrastructure development I’ve witnessed in my lifetime. An outer loop train line to connect all the radial lines. Should it have been done 30 years ago? Does that mean we shouldn’t do it now? For fucks sake. I’m pissed.
I wouldn’t necessarily say they are the most primitive. Certainly there are other contenders that are just as primitive with the same non-achievements? I bet some south american and african tribes would give australian aboriginals a run for the first spot.
Hanson is a one trick pony and shameless racist stunts like this are her one trick.
She’s literally leached from the taxpayers for 40 odd years, and for what? What tangible benefit? She purveys only ignorance and hatred.
Astounding that the US, UK, Canada and Australia all now have their political trolls revelling in the conditions created by toxic social media algorithms/platforms.
If we pull the plug on the internet we can dispense with social media and ai in one fell swoop. Just need to find that black box…
Very optimistic (probably too much) for the discussion about algorithm laws. Even if it just sheds light.
I lost my best friend of ten years after he wouldn’t stop insulting and bombarding me for my woke opinions. He wasn’t like that before COVID.
Yeah, same. My cousin was deadset convinced the vaccine (she didn’t get it) had a trigger in it which the Chinese army would activate “in two years”. Tragic.
Primitive minded politicians.
Pauline Hanson is an oxygen thief.
I’m not Australian but know this is not surprising in the slightest
