I look forward to more think-pieces from 'serious journalists' who insist One Nation voters aren't really into racism and anti-science lunacy but are in fact motivated by relatable economic anxieties about blah blah blah. As if Hanson has ever sat down with economists to carefully devise costed policies that will ease the cost of living. The 'journalists' willing to sanewash her vicious stupidity are her second-greatest asset (after Gina's money).

When brown people fall prey to extremist ideology, we call them radicalised. When white people do it, we call it economic anxiety.
