Pauline Hanson has been looking for ways to stand out from a growing array of conservative rivals in the federal election. Diary understands the One Nation leader is poised to launch a bold attempt to lure a new breed of voters in the 18-35 age group.
Hanson is about to release a 20-episode South Park-style cartoon series called Please Explain, which will take the mickey out of pollies of every persuasion.
I don't know what variety of cocaine James Ashby is currently snorting, but I want some.
No1 takes 1960 Karen seriously anymore except a bunch of old boomers. Different year same schtik.
Sadly there is still quite a few in Qld that share her views.No1 takes 1960 Karen seriously anymore except a bunch of old boomers. Different year same schtik.
She’s in it for the money. It’s so obvious.Sadly there is still quite a few in Qld that share her views.
Will be interesting when the day is moved and then they have to "just get over it"
Wait, you don't actually think that she's motivated by actual principles, do you?So according to Pauline indigenous Australians are not victims of historical dispossession and repression but anti-vaxxers are victimised by a safe, free vaccine.
She’s in it for the money. It’s so obvious.
True, but I think it is mainly about the money.
Not 100% on these numbers, but it's something like this: provided you get at least 6% of first preferences, you get about $2.90 per vote from the AEC.
ON got around 3.5% of the PV last time, and I don't think she does that well this time.
Good.Wow I thought she consistently got around 10%. Times are changing

In Queensland as a whole, she probably will. Polling north of that figure at present (as are the Greens).Wow I thought she consistently got around 10%. Times are changing

In 2019, she got just under 9%; the Greens got just over 10%.
In Queensland, independents don't seem to be as much of a thing as they are down south, except in Ryan. I originally compared Brisbane to Higgins and Ryan to Wentworth, but I think in reality both are like Higgins, and are surprisingly similar to one another. Breakfast Creek is a conservative part of inner-city Brisbane, but Ryan has more conservative suburban types. However, both also have more than their fair share of neoliberal, inner-city, socially progressive types.
I do think that the Greens do a bit better this time (maybe up to 12%?), but that ON perform significantly worse (maybe 5-6%?). Parties led by Pauline tend to flame out, and surely her anti-vax campaign will be repellent to her older base? Older people tend socially conservative, but they generally don't like dying and so strongly favour vaccines if anything. Old person /= conspiracy theorist.
Absolutely zero chance the greens out poll One Nation up here
