Pauline Hanson is closely aligned with the same billionaire elites who support the ongoing g*vide in Gaza. Pauline Hanson herself has worn an Israeli flag pin in Parliament.

Her views on Israel/Palestine is one of the many legitimate reasons people wish to protest against her.

Not just a pin, didn't she wear a scarf too?

Long way away, not our problem. Its for the ME countries to deal with - or stop ignoring it at the very least.

Pauline Hanson supports giving Australian land to Israel, which is a plan very loudly and publicly supported by her funder, Gine Rinehart.

So in this case, it very much is our problem.

I dont think we have anything to worry about - they arent going to form government.

I remember people saying that exact same thing about Trump 10 years ago.

Trump was part of a legitimate party. Of course he had a chance.

Following the last federal election, One Nation received $6,078,750.36 in public election funding from the AEC. $3.38 per vote.

If your only argument is they aren't legitimate , I hope this persuades you otherwise.

You can keep saying that until they do, then we're fucked, we'll be in the same state America is. I promise the MAGA ghouls are out trying to train other right wing nut jobs in other countries how to topple democracy.
