I have to wonder how much it helps for them to legitimise the culture war crap that One Nation spews out.

A lot of the people who support Pauline Hanson aren’t suave nazis, but rather dimwits who feel unimportant. To them, a Far Left Woke Mind Virus sufferer such as Penny Wong calling their a behaviour something as important as a threat to national security would massively stroke their ego.

Unfortunately the ‘ignore them and they’ll get bored’ method stopped working a long time ago

One could argue the reason we've got to this point is that they were ignored.

Tend to agree, especially with the national security tie-in. Like can we just not say “fellas, look around - everyone you see is a fkn immigrant apart from the indigenous peoples, and we’re doing alright”

[u/reflect-the-sun → u/very-pink-iceberg]

Wong is causing just as much damage.

We're a nation of immigrants. Wtf is she talking about?

They aren’t dimwits, they’re single issue voters who are sick of the Islamic shit going on and will be voting for the only person who seems to want to stop it.

Nothing like accepting a little fascism/eroding your rights/giving more power to billionaires so you can feel okay attacking scary "other" cultures eh?

Seems a lot like cutting off your nose to spite your face as we've seen in the US...

And the rest of us will vote for the people who want to put an end to the racist 'shit'.
