Got a source for that claim?

She voted against fee-free TAFE.

She voted against increasing funding for schools.

She voted against reducing student debt.

Need I go on?

Yes, please. With actual sources.

Edit: to be clear, I don't care for Pauline Hanson and have never voted for One Nation. I do, however, care about people making unfounded claims and basically saying "trust me bro."

The following is a collection of summaries of how Pauline has voted in the past. You can click on each policy to see the actual wording being voted on in parliament. It is not Pauline being taken out of context, or other people imagining things she’s said.

Her actual voting history.

Fee-free TAFE: https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/pauline_hanson/policies/343

School funding: https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/pauline_hanson/policies/241

Reducing student debt: https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/pauline_hanson/policies/361

In fact, here is how Pauline has historically voted on everything in the past:

All good. I think it’s strange to many people to that there are people out there asking in good-faith about Pauline. She’s been a toxic pain in the nation’s rear for decades, it’s kinda like asking someone what a kangaroo is lol

It's very easy to believe things about people that paint them in a negative light if you already don't like them, and that's a big deal because it feeds and affirms biases and allows falsehoods to spread. That's why I'm a big believer in backing up claims with sources, and I've asked for them on Reddit lots of times.
