Pauline Hanson - One Nation Party

[Ghost Patrol]

 

[smokingjacket]

Everyone's got a story for the stats but my take is ON's rise is a combination of the perceived inability of government to talk "straight" about Islam, immigration and 457 visa's in the construction industry and the drop in wages and work security for people with trades over the past few years.

But Hanson’s people are oddly gloomy about their prospects. One of the questions always asked in the AES is: “How does the financial situation of your own household compare with what it was 12 months ago?” This is the breakdown by party of those who thought things were now “a little” or “a lot” worse for them than a year ago:

National 25%
Greens 27%
Liberal 29%
Labor 38%
One Nation 68%

The same gloom is apparent when Hanson’s people are asked about the state of the economy. This is the breakdown of those who thought the national economy was “a little” or “a lot” worse than it was a year ago:

National 35%
Greens 44%
Labor 46%
Liberal 47%
One Nation 73%

That shouldn't be surprising - when the economy is in the toilet and you've lost your job - or are underemployed and struggling - you tend to look for alternatives that in the past would be dismissed as nutjobs or radicals. Classic scenario often repeated in history.

Whilst I agree wholeheartedly with you about giving morons enough rope to hang themselves and that it's astounding to realise just how thick this dog whistler is, which interviewer is going to ask her even the most meek of probing questions?

She won't go on the ABC, especially now that the low life Ashby banned the ABC from her WA campaign debacle so the only place she appears on now, is on the rabid right vehicle known as sky news. Disgusting mucus like Murray, Bolt, the canine cavorting Chris Kenny, Cameron, Credlin, Bishop and all her best mates fawn over her and prod her into spewing her bile whilst they nod as she is doing so.

What happened to sixty minutes? It used to do some fairly hard hitting stories on politicians of all persuasions. Where on commercial teli or radio are there even remotely investigating and asking questions of the Hansons, Duttons, Bernardis, Christensens and others except of course, for the ABC and even they are becoming a bit more "non-confontational".

The ABC is painted as "left" by the extremists but when it is the only true independent organisation remaining, it's really easy to state that they are "left" because the rest of the mass media try so bloody hard to portray themselves as "centrist", that even Bob Santamaria would seem left wing!

I laughed at how ridiculous Sky News actually is.
I can't believe people pay for that s**t.
The stupidest obviously come the cheapest.
It is like a parody of an 80's US cable news network...but they're absolutely serious.

The stupid will always earn less as a matter of course and vote for others who are stupid in simple solidarity.

cf. Brexit. Trump.

When the status quo isn't working out for you, what have you got to lose?

Or to invoke Godwin's Law, Hitler in 1933 as the German republic was struggling with hyperinflation and mass unemployment. The Jews and communists etc were easy targets.

One Nation will decline when the economy picks up, I guarantee it. It is a fascinating story though I must admit and will be interesting to follow its progress (hopefully never reaching major party status).

In the WA election it was just a protest vote for those who couldn't bring themselves to vote for the ALP.

The Christians are always blaming natural weather events on the gays; Could it be that Cyclone Debbie is Pauline's fault?

 

[Chief]

We need to stop giving voice to those who knowingly or unknowingly mislead the public and influence the community dialogue

But we have little power over that.

This is why Trump Tweets - he has control over that channel.

I don't know how true that is. However, I do know that racism has no societal boundaries. You will find racists in all areas of society.

The prime modern example of escalating racial tensions ('race' being a fluid term) due to economic uncertainty is the breakup of Yugoslavia.

Everything was hunky dory while everyone had a roof over their head, job etc. then when it fell apart it didn't take long for the separatists to whip up a frenzy.

On the one hand you are right, but Yugoslavia is a bad example.
When the country eventually broke up there were too many "scores to settle", some going back hundreds of years.

The tensions didn't start with the break-up, they were always there - but they were escalated by it. It gave the nationalists a platform.

This mob are just pathetic, if they don't like the tone of the reporting of their comments than they should f***ing think before they open their stupid bigoted gobs.
https://www.theguardian.com/austral...-down-one-nations-demand-to-cut-600m-from-abc

The finance minister, Mathias Cormann, has stared down a threat from Senator Brian Burston that One Nation will “reconsider” savings bills if the government doesn’t cut $600m from the ABC in the May budget.

Burston and James Ashby, Pauline Hanson’s chief of staff and party secretary, have savaged the public broadcasters, accusing the ABC of leftwing bias after a Four Corners special on One Nation and SBS of having too much multicultural and LGBTI content.


It comes after Hanson celebrated One Nation’s 20th anniversary by declaring a boycott on appearing on ABC programs.

On Wednesday Burston told Guardian Australia he had contacted Cormann asking for $600m in cuts to the ABC over four years because the station was “overfunded” and “not utilising money effectively”.

“It’s attacking mainstream and right-of-centre political parties instead of being balanced,” he said, adding that the government “doesn’t have the guts” to cut its funding for allegedly barracking for Labor and the Greens.

Burston said if the government “doesn’t consider savings at the ABC, then I don’t think they’re serious about any of [their savings]”. He warned that One Nation would “very seriously” consider other proposed savings but stopped short of promising to block them.

On Wednesday Cormann said MPs and senators were “entitled to their views and to express them” but non-government parties “do not speak for the government”.

“Any budget-repair measures will be developed, as always, based on the government’s judgment of what is in the public interest,” he said. “That is the only consideration for the government when developing budget-repair measures.”

He did not rule cuts to the ABC in or out, noting any “judgments about the right way forward” would be contained in the May budget.

Burston cited the Four Corners episode about One Nation as evidence of alleged “leftwing bias”, as well as Andrew Probyn, ABC 7.30’s political correspondent, revealing on Insiders on 26 March that Hanson was due to travel with other parliamentarians to Afghanistan.

Probyn questioned how Hanson was “going to go when she visits Afghanistan” after her comments that Australians needed to “vaccinate” themselves against Islam.

Asked if One Nation was threatening the ABC’s editorial independence, Burston first said he didn’t believe it was, then said politicians “should interfere with their Marxist leftwing propaganda” and he had “no problem” with that perception.

Ashby said Burston had been calling for cuts at the ABC since his inaugural speech in the Senate, and that ABC “stitch-ups” of the party were retaliation.

He cited the Four Corners episode and Hanson’s appearance on Insiders, in which she backed penalty rate cuts, reasserted her respect for Vladimir Putin and described successive governments’ vaccination policies as blackmail.

After the Insiders episode, Hanson retracted her claim there was a test to evaluate the safety of vaccinations and backflipped to oppose penalty rate cuts.

Ashby broadened the criticism of public broadcasting to include SBS, which he said was “more about voyeurism and multiculturalism” than its founding purpose, which was to “help people assimilate into the country”.

“We want one culture because people come to Australia to become Australian,” he said. “If you want to find out about life in your home country you can do that online. There’s decent enough internet at libraries and at home – it’s not expensive.”

Ashby queried why “half of SBS’s content is gay-related” and why SBS supported the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

Asked if the funding threat and comments about editorial content would be seen as political interference in public broadcasting, Ashby replied: “The perception will be what you put out there – you create that reality.”

A spokeswoman for SBS said: “As Australia’s cultural complexity increases, the need for SBS has never been more important.

“SBS is a unique media organisation that explores issues impacting all Australians, helps migrants understand our Australian way of life, culture and values, whilst encouraging a greater understanding and appreciation of the diversity that makes up our society today.”

ABC and Probyn declined to comment.

Good on Cormann too.

Says it all really. Cant add anything to that

 

[Pessimistic]

Looking at movement around the WA election polling. One nation should consider if substantial parts of their support aren't left wing

Bingo.

One nation had a pretty centrist to liberal position on many issues under their headlining xenopobia.

But that seems to have changed rapidly. They seem to have followed Trump (even thoigh they were doing their thing 20 years ago) and it does NOT suit them or their electorate. Their hardening stances on climate change and the gays was concerning for them; the more they pander towards the lowest common denominator, the less of the broader protest vote they will capture.

And then she went full anti vaxx *. Coupled with an establishment styled preference deal. And they found themselves with only those ~10% lowest common denominators left.

I still think Trump is a bit of an anomoly. it was hardly a landslide but a function of an opponent with baggage and a pretty low turnout (apparently lots of american were disgusted a the whole 2016 election. Its no sure fire route to success.

If the Dems had not kneecapped Bernie Sanders in the primaries, and the DNC had actually gotten behind him as a candidate, then Bernie would have beaten Trump.

If they back a Bernie Sanders style anti-establishment progressive in 2020, they'll s**t it in. If they back another Hillary Clinton style corporate sellout, claytons progressive, then they'll lose again.

Trump has already proven to be just another establishment lackey. He will be ripe for the picking in 2020 if the Dems do the right (or in this case, the left) thing.
