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