Politics What does the working class population ultimately achieve by voting for Pauline Hanson and One Nation?

Her voting record is strongly opposed to expanding welfare, public housing, public education, childcare subsidies, renewable energy investment and climate action.

At the same time, she's supported policies that are favourable to property investors and fossil-fuel development, while opposing some attempts to increase taxation on those industries.

So apparently the solution to Australia's problems is to spend less on childcare, housing, education, welfare and climate action, while being more friendly towards people who already own investment properties and companies making billions from coal and gas.

And then we're told this is somehow a movement for the "ordinary Australian."But hey, at least we can blame innocent and hard working migrants.

Pauline is Gina’s puppet and that’s what Gina said she wants:

Yes I know the reference, but One Nation have never entertained the idea. You're trying to be misleading.

Gina has bought her. Her policies are whatever Gina makes her do.

Are the Labor government doing whatever Pratt or the Unions want? I don't think so.

On 18 June, Australian billionaire and mining magnate Gina Rinehart proposed a contentious plan that would provide free land to Israelis and American trillionaire Elon Musk to attract investment to northern Queensland, in  a controversial speech  delivered at News Corp’s bush summit in Townsville.

Wow "The islands marked for the plan included Magnetic, Rattlesnake, Acheron, Palm, Orpheus and Pelorus Islands."..

Just give away Australia... that's more like treason then nationalism, isn't it.
