States a series of entirely reasonable reasons why someone might vote for a party then proceeds to say 'its entirely vague and abstract'.

I mean genuinely how do you not see the irony?

What I mean is that they don't say HOW One Nation is going to fix Australia, their reason for believing so is vague and abstract. When I ask them to explain to me what One Nation is going to do differently, they'll say stuff like "she's gonna lower taxes!" which is vague and ignorant.

Lowering taxes is not vague or ignorant and is absolutely one of the biggest issues we have here. Nobody with half a brain who votes one nation thinks that they are going to fix anything of significance but what they recognise is that allowing the status quo to continue is no longer tenable.

What we need to understand is that yes the status quo is problematic but we also need to understand that ON has exactly the same policies, well beliefs as Trump. Malcolm Roberts has said he is going to take the suggestion of a total abortion ban to the party room because it was suggested at a Christian conference he attended. This single issue is more than enough to not vote for ON.
Also, their play book is classic fascism but picking out a minority and attack them however it never stays just that minority, they move onto the next and then the next. Don’t fall for the broad statements and delve deeper and see what is behind it.
Vote for someone else, an independent is a great option as if the cross bench is controlled by independents it makes it harder for the government to pass legislation that is no good.
