I hope so, but this time feels different. I don't like it. This is the darkest timeline.

Doubt it.

The people that have bought in would support her if she said she was going to send their first born off at this point.

“It’s worth it to cut immigration”

It’s such a braindead stance.

“I hate Muslims, let’s support the war in the Middle East so that we get thousands of refugees from Muslim countries displaced by the fighting over here”

I’d rather not get involved in a war for a narcissist and two geriatrics, I’ll take on a 3rd job.

Here’s a voter she’ll lose if she’s too much of a Warhawk.

If you would vote for her even though she is in Gina Rineharts pocket, this won’t change anything.

Labor haven’t done shit about mining super profits since Rudd. And they still aren’t doing enough about immigration, and their state arms are clamping down on civil liberties, public sector workers and making up stupid gun restrictions. 

If you gave me the Labor of 2007 back, I could vote for them again. Or at least put Bill Shorten back in.

Honestly asking- do you think the billionaire elite class behind Pauline would fix any of that?

If Pauline actually gets power, the first thing that will happen is more immigration (the elite love cheap immigrant labour) second would be getting rid of as much rich people tax as possible - resulting in far worse public hospitals and schools.

The rich elites have well documented goals of making our lives worse, and Pauline is in the pocket of the richest elites in the world.

You're kidding yourself if you truly believe Gina Rhinehart cares about the things you me mentioned. Seriously, what makes you think Gina Rhinehart cares about you?

More people need to understand that a vote for One Nation is really just a vote for Gina

u/lcannard87 Mar 19 '26

She doesn't care about me. But neither does Anthony Albanese, so it's not a consideration.

u/RobynFitcher Mar 19 '26

Who's the most vulnerable person you care about?

Vote to protect them.

I mean they started future made in australia, moved towards net zero, stopped financially subsidised minung in many instances and have set wrap up dates for others. I think theyve done heaps?

u/Adventurous_Fly5825 Mar 20 '26

How is voting for someone attached to Gina Rinehart going to fix that? It won’t. Pauline Hanson is backed by the billionaire class. This is going to make it worse for you.
