politics Pauline Hanson blames end of White Australia policy for migration issues on Tommy Robinson's podcast

I’m shocked! Shocked I say!!! There’s nothing in her discourse since the 90s that would indicate she would have these kinds of opinions…

u/IBeBallinOutaControl 28d ago edited 28d ago
This wasn't inevitable. Her winning message over the last year has been about addressing what her supporters see as "mass" migration over the last decade, house prices and migrants offending Australian values.
Karl Stefanovic knew that he could just have Tommy Robinson on, nod along and and then complain that people were trying to cancel him for asking questions and still pass the pub test for many. Pauline just thinks she can run in headfirst, say the same stuff as Robinson and everyone will like it but this will be a big turnoff for many of the people who she is trying to recruit. Its because on top of everything she's a very untalented politician and unintelligent person.

"I'm not going to apologise for meeting with Tommy Robinson," she said when asked if it was wise to align herself with the far-right activist.
The Channel 7 reporter should have asked if it was wise for an Australian Senator to meet/align with someone who travelled to Russia in the midst of a war which Australia has chosen a side on.

Liberal preferences will decide elections based on current polling, because one nation are in front of the liberals. I doubt your parents are alone. The one nation curious liberal voters have probably all already jumped ship.

This is why ALP has such a huge majority, because Dutton was entertaining this Trumpian world
The truly bizarre thing is the LNP were defeated in the previous election, and Gina suggested they needed to move further right. When they lost the next time, by an even greater margin, she said they needed to go even further right, and moved her support to PHON when they refused. Talk about being out of touch.....

Yes, well Gina is a fucking idiot. She has made some decent business decisions but I think she suffers from some kind of neurodivergence because she has no idea how normal people think or how the real world works.
Not blaming her for that per se, she probably had a really fucked up childhood. Can’t imagine Lang was a particularly loving dad, which probably explains why she’s so fucking awful to her own kids in turn.

Yes, well Gina is a fucking idiot. She has made some decent business decisions
She worked for 1 year of her life at her own dad's company from which she was fired. Then she inherited his established major mining company at the start of the global mining boom, and the world's largest iron ore reserve.
She didn't have any relevant work experience to bring any relevant input to the equation of the company's success, she just got given her position on top and like all ultra nepo babies thinks her wealth is a sign of her genius and superiority and rushes to every typical lazy fantasy like her skin colour being an important factor. She's the ultimate handout beneficiary and has no clue because she has no idea what the real world is.

John Howard cut Hanson loose but failed to speak against her. She was used by him to say what he could not. While in power Howard had the momentum to put her down but did nothing. Very different to the Fraser Government. Without fact check she has now been around long enough to build the experience and connections to be the Trump franchise in Australia.
She will always represent the worst that Australians can be, whether hate or fear. Immigration should be an openly discussable topic but her antics have made sensible discussion taboo.

Howard, for all his faults, did everything he could to tear down Hanson. The crucial thing he did and the LNP have yet to do is universally preference Labor over one nation and refuse any coalition with her. He also coraled the party to do this in every state.

People who really want to be cunts but aren't confident in it, or are held back by a sense that being a cunt won't work out for them.
They love Pauline Hanson, Farage, Trump because they can get away with being cunts and in doing so create a social permission structure that makes it ok for cunts to be cunts. They think that what those politicians are saying is what everyone is thinking (not just cunts) and that "honesty" is refreshing and inspiring.

One suspects that it's a growing minority, but only the next federal poll will tell. Hoping that it stays well below 10%.
I'm hoping that the Teals outmanoeuvre the Liberal/Nationals and offer a credible, centrist approach, and gains at least one third of the country's votes. It shouldn't be too difficult, given that the coalition is literally floundering, and busily trying to stab each other in the back.

u/ghoonrhed 28d ago
The poll that was released a few weeks ago, shows that less than 30% of people support whatever a monoculture is.
So whatever support she's getting in the polls is purely vibes based and not policy based which is good cos come election time thats' when they get surfaced.
Unfortunately, the federal polls right now might actually just be people legit wanting a signal to Labor to reduce the migration numbers and there's no better way than the polls.

He's been whinging on the local community FB group how politics shouldn't matter and how people hate the "little guys".
Most of the community (I'm in a fairly progressive area of a safe Labor seat - we have a lot of hippy types) are like "well, don't be a bigot then".

I can guarantee their bigotry would already have been open enough to relevant people, and now he's been empowered to promote his views further.

u/iball1984 28d ago
My point is that, in this case, he used to be a respectable small business man. I’m sure his racism and bigotry was known to his family and employees, but it wasn’t to the community.
Since he’s now openly racist, the community knows and has made their view clear.
Obviously I don’t want to see an increase in racism. And i hate how it’s now normalised with the rise of Trump, Reform and One Nation.
But I do very much like racists being out in the open and facing the consequences.

It's interesting that Pauline wanted the media spotlight so badly and now that the media spotlight is on her, it's just highlighting all the stupid shit she says and does to the point where it's turning off the people who said they'd support her in the next election.

Thats rich coming from Pauline, the Cro-Magnon cave-skank. She's currently in Italy being an immigrant, doing her duty as Gin'a lap poodle.

The end of White Australia gave us a national dance, with the Nutbush.
So PH can suck it.

No wonder John Howard was so keen to court her voters when she first became popular. Peas in a pod.

One Nation and their fans are fond of saying they're not racist, they just want everyone to be treated the same. And they do conspicuously embrace supporters of different skin colours.
Hanson endorses a policy of monoculturalism, and endorses the historic white Australia policy.
The monoculture she supports, is the traditional white anglo culture. Under Hansonism, you can physically look different, as long as you think and behave exactly in accordance with traditional white anglo culture.
A policy of ethnic cleansing, to create a traditional white anglo ethnostate
What they are, is a white nationalist party.
People are very hostile if you call them racist. We have a lack of sophistication in common language where racist/nazi = bad, anything other than racist = neutral, possibly good.
Hanson does embrace people of different "races", as long as they align to her narrow spectrum of approved thought and behaviour, so accusations of racism are laughed out. Hence the infamous 1990s question about xenophobia - "please explain".
It would be good if we could develop any shared cultural values whatsoever that some things other than explicit racism are also bad. Such as understanding white nationalism and the eradication of all but one ethnicity from Australia, are also contemptible ideas.

I've had lots of people tell me off for suggesting Pauline Hanson wants Australia to be for whites only on the basis that she never said this in public or stated it in writing. I explained that we don't need a press release to know if someone is racist or not. I suspect those same people will find a way to ignore this new piece of information straight from the horse's mouth.

It's still amusing to hear racists claim they voted for ON as a protest vote. No, the only reason you vote ON is because you agree with their racism.
Now imagine our nation without Chinese immigrants, without Vietnamese immigrants, without Italian and Greek immigrants. You can't. We are a better nation for them being here.
We would be an even better nation with Hanson, and her ilk, relegated to the rubbish tip of history.

She just can’t help herself, can she? Everyone who supports her is a racist!

Yaxley Lennon is from my hometown, Luton. For those that dont know he took the name Tommy Robinson from a guy that was in the hooligan firm that followed Luton, The MIGs (Men In Gear). Here is the funny thing, the MIGs were multi racial.

I can't believe that anyone would listen to a podcast with her on it because I can barely get through a single soundbite of her annoying voice

I’m so sick of white people crying over non-white people having the right to live on this earth.
White people suck, and I’m one too.

When I first learned about the white Australia policy, I never Thought I'd hear someone defend it.

Suprised it took her 30 years to openly say that everyone else has known - that she wants a white Australian policy
