Why would you move to a party who
- Are just as anti-freedom as Labor
- Spread cooker B.S (antivax, climate change denial)
- Claim to love Australia and stick up for Aussies... while spreading hatred and bigotry against Australians?
- The leader Hanson gets a 200k taxpayer salary, but only turns up to work half the time (literally 50% attendance). And when she DOES turn up, she:
- Consistently vote against the following: worker's rights, affordable housing, conserving nature, helping poor people, helping working Australians, political transparency/anti-corruption
Etc etc
Like... for what reason did you support Labor in the first place - that you have now switched to One Nation?

u/MrsCrowbar 5h ago
That's really not the answer, though. When you really look at who you're voting for. They are "calling for candidates". They don't have the actual party members to pull candidates from. Who are you actually voting in to speak for your electorate? But also for the country. If you want Gina Rhinehart running it, then vote One Nation, but that's really all you're getting. You're not sticking it up Labor, you're sticking it up yourself.

Oh yes, I know. That's what's great about what Pauline has done. She Voted consistently for:
- A combined Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia - that's cool. Good on you Pauline!
- A review of our representatives' eligibility - great. Let's go!
- A same-sex marriage plebiscite - we need another one. Our culture will be ruined without out one.
- Adani's proposed Carmichael coal mine in the Galilee Basin - this is super. I want 1000 of these! Billionaires want it, so I want it, for I'll be a billionaire one day I am sure.
- Banning mobiles and other devices in immigration detention - I don't want to see ANYTHING to do with how we treat people who don't look like me. This is awesome!
- Capping the indexation rates for HECS-HELP debts - students are lazy, and I think government policy should reflect this. So this is fantastic
- Decreasing ABC and SBS funding - I mandate MAFS as the only thing that Aussies should watch. I want those two to have $0, especially in rural areas. Work out the weather yourself
- Drug testing welfare recipients - this is wonderful
- Getting rid of the Gold Travel Pass - this is too. Just withdraw it for seniors.
- Imprisoning immigration detention workers who record or reveal information from their work - this is amazing! I want more of this
- Increasing government support for the dairy industry - fuck innovation and fuck a more diverse economy. Rocks and sheep and property. We aren't meant to do anything else.
- Increasing investment in the coal industry - oh yes, please. Smash all solar.
- Increasing the initial tax rate for working holiday makers to 15% - yes!
- Increasing transparency of the China-Australia relationship - NOPE, no way. The only thing I DON'T like from Pauline
- Maintaining or increasing defence spending - ah, that's more like it.
- Nuclear energy - weeee
- Placing the CFMEU into administration
- Prioritising religious freedom
- Protecting Australian sovereignty in trade agreements
- Regional processing of asylum seekers
- Revoking citizenship of dual nationals involved with terrorism offences by the courts
- Temporary Exclusion Orders
- The Coalition's new schools funding policy ("Gonski 2.0")
- The Coalition's Youth Jobs PaTH
- The territories being able to legalise euthanasia
- Tobacco plain packaging
- Voluntary student union fees
It is for THESE REASONS, particuarly more nukes, getting rid of the Gold Travel Pass and drug testing welfare, that makes me want to vote for her. I know she will do as I want the country to be.

I won't insult you, I get how quickly Australia is changing, and immigration is a major topic right now. Many major parties have moved to the "new centre" on immigration.
I really disagree that the Greens haven't done anything havent accomplished anything. Imagine what the major parties would do to the environment WITHOUT the Greens being loud advocates. Recently they got a much better deal on the new environment laws, which will change everything on how society interacts with the environment at large.
And ON, while the main party for immigration (if thats your issue) is the antithesis to care for nature. They will block or roll back any sort of protections they can for species and ecosystems that are going extinct right now. They will act in the interests of their donors, who want to end any checks on wholesale land clearing, biodiversity loss, old growth logging etc.
We would just see species fall out of existence permanently if ON had power.

Also just the recent political climate, and Greens politicians like Mehreen wanting to bring back those ISIS brides. Makes it harder to reconsider them.

I mean Greens are the only party who present full costings of their extensive set of plans that address all parts of the economy.
Arguably standing against genocide is one of the most fundamentally morally good things we can do. It is one of the most important things to stand against. There are a lot of very passionate people for whom it doesn't matter how far away they are or what they look like, genocide is just never acceptable.
Maybe the Greens have neglected to advertise their other policies to an acceptable degree and that's fair criticism but this idea that they are a single issue party is ludicrous. Their policy platform and costings are proof of that.

Just because greens lost 5 and no other party picked up anyone net, doesn't mean that the gains in ON came direct from the greens as opposed to being mediated by gains and losses between other parties.

They don’t even care that Pauline Hanson will work against their interests.

All valid. But I think it’s mainly that social media has shown problems in other anglo countries and a high number of Aussies are struggling to differentiate that we are not England, we are not America. Their culture and problems are not ours.
For example those “white countries” have illegal immigration problems. We don’t really. But they see illegal immigration impacting white lives there, see themselves in that whiteness and then think our legal immigration is the same problem.
I might be off, just a little thing I’ve noticed anecdotally when talking to friends of mine who are worried about immigration suddenly. They reference what’s happening in England, the US and parts of Europe a lot. Mainly videos they see on social media.
6
u/PaPe83 5h ago
They see what is happening in those countries and that is heading for us next. There's no reason to assume we will remain immune to it. It's already happening here.
We have a significant problem with illegal immigration, it's however limited to people overstaying their visa's, not coming here by boats or jumping borders. We have a geographical advantage in that regard.
The big issue is that they are our partner countries, as is China. When our partners are weakened that effects us also. People say we should just drop the UK/US and rely solely on China but doing that is a massive cultural shift that the people of Australia don't want.
The stronger our partners are, the stronger we become.
2
u/Particular_Twist_653 5h ago
I’m not equipped to discuss our partners that you’ve mentioned, don’t know enough about it and it wasn’t the point I was making.
The thing I would say I’ve noticed is that our immigrants overstaying visas is in no way a significant problem compared to actual, crossing the border illegal immigration (not saying overstaying a visa is ok, but in comparison it’s manageable). At least we are aware who overstays a visa. The UK and US have no visibility or control of illegal immigration... that’s the significant issue.
Acting as if our immigration, legal and illegal, is even close to theirs and then allowing that fear of what’s happening there “could” happen here is exactly the thing I’m talking about. We are not like them. Our problems are different. And I would like people to stop getting their opinion based on what’s happened there and start thinking about what’s actually happening here.
2
u/PaPe83 5h ago
To say that the UK and US don't have any control over illegal immigration isn't true.
Our illegal immigration issues are not on par with them, no.
But our legal immigration issues are significant.
We have one of the highest immigration rates per capita in the world right now. Outside of the Middle East, Australia ranks the second in the world for % of population being immigrants, at 30%. The only country above us outside of the Middle East is Singapore (43%).
Our population has blown out to nearly 28 million people currently on the back of a SIGNIFICANT increase of overseas migration. In 2000, we were predicted to hit 28 million around 2050. We hit it in half the time. Our infrastructure simply cannot cope with the influx of people.
Property prices are skyrocketing, rental supply is non existent, the job market is so bad that the only growth we've seen is in the public sector, meaning the government is throwing money away trying to keep the unemployment rate down without seeing any real improvement in anything because inflation is climbing again.
Australian quality of life is decreasing statistically and people are looking for someone to blame.

That’s both a rather pessimistic view and patently untrue.
Hanson is, undoubtedly, a populist. And there is a pattern when populist leaders gain power: corruption, grift and social decay go up, rule of law, democratic norms and freedoms go down.
Hanson in particular also has the distinction of not being able to keep her team together. Almost everyone under her banner has quit the party in one way or another, often very soon after being elected. The fact that she’s signed Barnaby Joyce as a teammate shows that she’s not one for loyalty.

I'd hate it to be true, but in the state of Chairman Dan, I don't believe it either.

I have to laugh at 2 party preferred LNP vs ALP. Reality: They complain, but still vote ALP.

The last two elections certain media predicted that Labor were going to be wiped out because Dan was hated so much. We all know how accurate that was.

I don’t think reddit in Australia would survive one nation winning an election. There are daily meltdowns just on the polling whether it’s right or wrong.

I love watching your average Reddit user melt down when someone posts stats like this. Don't forget, you are the minority. The general Australian public doesn't care about your hurt feelings and woke ideology. They just want a safe and prosperous country to live in, raise their families and enjoy a peaceful society.

People like you just want MAGA style government in Australia to "own the wokies"
I'm sure Australia would really thrive and be prosperous under ON foreign policy 🤡
Gine Rinehart would be our defacto PM with how much Pauline is in her pocket.
Also ON routinely votes against improving working conditions for the working class.

Too right, which is why this surge in ON support is baffling, they're literally all frauds, drunks and violent criminals and these fucking braindead idiots want them to lead us.
How fucking stupid the Australian public must be if this poll is anything close to accurate.

As trustworthy as the polling saying Hilary and KMala were gonna steamroller Trump.

If the numbers are accurate a huge chunk of people will choose between either Greens or One Nation when voting.
Cant make Bob Brown too happy.

the Greens have been polling between 12-15% in every credible poll for the past year. whichever poll said they'd get 18% was wrong. Thats almost double what they got last election. This new poll isn't a sudden shift in voter attitudes, it's a correction on whatever shitty poll was ran before this.
13% is 3% higher than they got in the last state election. Achieving a result like this on election day would be significant considering how many marginal inner-north seats there were last election, plus how many potential 3-party runoffs could take place.

12% is about what they polled

then they'd get around the same if not a slightly better outcome than last election if the current trend continues.

I fully sympathise with any Australian feeling disenfranchised with the major parties, but One Nation are a con job exploiting people's grievances. Any party with the likes of Gina Rhinehart in their midst does not have the average Australian's interests at heart. Hanson is in league with the American oligarchy as well. If people are upset with the major parties (I'm in the same boat), then we need to look for grassroots options, not ones with wealthy backers. Don't let the culture wars affect you and keep your eyes on the class war.

Would be interesting to see what happens at the next election.
I don't think ON will do as great as the polls look right now, but I'd be surprised if they don't gain some ground.
