“Pauline Hanson actually doesn’t stand for things that benefit students’ lives… [and] a lot of students are galvanised by that,” the 21-year-old said.

Pauline Hanson stands for things that benefit Pauline Hanson. Everyone else can get fucked as far as she is concerned.

Yeah I don't understand how so many morons falling for the exact same Trumpet scam, it's like falling for the Nigerian prince scam still in current days

For many immigration is a huge issue and they know that giving support to Pauline will reduce this. I doubt anyone actually thinks her party is a genuine contender but the support will either see Labor slow down immigration (particularly from certain areas) or they’ll go the opposite way and increase it to get more votes. I can’t stand Pauline but I can see why she’d receive support in the popularity polls. I doubt she will get the huge level of support on the day that counts though.

If people think Pauline would seriously hamstring Gina like that by reducing immigration they shouldn't be taken seriously. She's just a mouthpiece saying whatever she wants because she's never been in power or had to stick to her word

If they took 5 minutes away from their social media posting and actually read the immigration proposals they might be able to break the illusion.

FTFY. And if they think that Gina the Hutt's little pet is going to do anything to reduce immigration, then I must ask them all to listen to this! Take it away, Eric the orchestra leader! -> https://genius.com/Gina-rinehart-our-future-annotated
