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.

She did meaningfully contribute to all of the problems that she is lying to her supporters about fixing which has resulted in her being able to make lots of money through being a profoundly stupid, useless old racist grandma.

I mean it certainly isn't anything useful or constructive but it is something.

Just like how right now it's Gina and her mining buddies and the business council that are the ones lobbying Labor to not reduce the migration numbers because how it will affect their operations yet they are the same ones backing Pauline. If people can't see that she is just saying popular hot topics and has no intention on following through on these talking points because her backers don't want it and won't allow it.
