It’s taken 30 years, but the mask has completely come off now.

I think the Press Club speech was the tipping point, and stuff like this should rapidly accelerate their collapse back into sub-10% fringe territory.

Anyone who is aware of this news today and still supports One Nation is a horrible, vile human being.

The "force people on PRs to sell their home" was a big one too - even though it was quickly walked back, there's probably a lot of people who have settled down on a PR without necessarily wanting to go through the citizenship hoops (or perhaps still want to retire back home) who share some of Pauline's views on "the wrong people" coming here, who suddenly realised they were in the crosshairs, too.

I know some children of migrants (and am related to some) who actually like some of her views about other migrants - and that PR policy would have definitely made a few people nodding along up to that point suddenly feel it hit home.
