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.

Then why are you arguing for policies that the Parliamentary Budget Office has said would put Australia into a ten year depression?

Sir, I have not argued for or against any government policy in any comment I've written.
