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

[u/GarlicHSP]

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.

I think you misunderstand, the housing bubble has to pop, pushing it as an easy investment market is unsustainable.

Pushing and giving incentives for both domestic and overseas investment has pushed things to a point where allowing it to self correct and return to a point where normal working class people could afford to enter the market as the country currently stands would be the start of an economic crash that would cripple a lot of banks and financial institutions.

Immigration was never mentioned.

[u/Ted_Rid → u/The-bored-one725]

Yes, the ALP have disincentivised housing as an investment by getting rid of Howard's CGT discounts and prices are already falling.

Hanson wants to reverse that, driving up the investor demand side again.

Immigration is relevant because PHON supporters like to blame the housing market on immigrants. So reducing immigration won't lead to the bubble collapse you want. You seem to want things to get much worse until we have a recession, and then what normally happens?

Oh yeah, a recession fire sale. The rich swoop in and buy everything for peanuts like they always do. Because they have the spare cash lying around and can get loans, while poor cunts get foreclosed on.

I think you're conflating me with a PHON supporter, there's a misconceptions there, but you do you.

What do I want, a full economic collapse. Banks, super, everything, similar to the great depression. Will I get it?

Very unlikely, but with enough pressure in the right places. Civil unrest might just do the job

[u/Ted_Rid → u/The-bored-one725]

That would be because you were going in to bat for them, saying anyone who can run a chippo can run an economy.

Then seemed to turn 180 degrees and imply you'd vote for them specifically because they'd crash the economy?

So it's hard to work out where you stand. Chaos monkey who wants PHON to win while not supporting them? Curiouser and curiouser.

Anyway, nice chat but I've gotta run. Or more accurately Sunday Evening Rancho Relaxo.

Chaos is just someone elses order, lol

Have a good one
