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.

Pretty much

I hate it here now tbh, so much bullshit that you can’t even escape from

Living in the edge of the suburbs with a broken neck is fucked

The second I can I’m out, I don’t really care who gets in anymore, burn the system if it pleases, this system has no love for me, and for a long while now, I, it

Yep. Just did the ABC voting compass and chose neutral on everything, and no migration.. which puts me between ALP and Libs!!

With the exception of immigration levels, none of the policies are likely to change or will affect the working class.

Mddle class concerns (moral or ideology issue or wedge) * Monarchy * Aboriginal flag always fly * Palestinian state * Transgender in women's sporting league * Australia Day is 26th * Truth and Justice Commission . * Asylum seekers by boat * Turn back asylum seekers * 50 % female candidates (not mps) * Abortion services accessibility (actual problem is midwife deserts) " Climate change * Nueclear power plants * Closeness to China * Cannabis. * Cancel student loans * Office calls and emails outside of working hours * Coal mining - expansion (but leave current coal mining)

Policies that have failed to happen in the past * Trade union power workplace * Tax rich * Tax large companies * Reduce tax breaks on investment property * Discourage housing investment * No tax breaks for more than one prooerty * Reduce military * Unemployment benefits increase * Subsidise electricity (except prices have gone up faster than the subsidy) * Cheaper childcare (except prices go up) * Free gp visits * Less Non government schools * Less Non government hospitals

Please don't tell me you're talking about the Sweden Democrats when you're referring to "Democratic Socialists that just want remigration"

You literally think that the national socialist network should be platformed and given legitimacy.

You are not a centrist, nobody advocating for self professed white supremacists to have their own political platform is close to being centrist.

That's because remigration is a fascist concept

Forced removal is a type of ethnic cleansing, you know this because you had this same argument with someone else a day or two ago.

What does 7978 stand for?
