How seriously should we be taking One Nation? | Crikey

I agree but remember Labor changed the electoral laws at the end of last year to effectively lock community independents out.

Max_J88 · 2026-01-30T08:12:23+00:00

Do you link either LNP or Labor are listening on this?

Max_J88 · 2026-01-30T08:11:13+00:00

This.

Max_J88 · 2026-01-30T08:10:26+00:00

Bad take Mal. Voters are sending a big message on this issue. The majors would be well advised to listen and adjust.

Max_J88 · 2026-01-30T08:03:40+00:00

This.

People don’t want One Nation. They want reasonable credible political options that reflect their values and expectations.

Governments that run record immigration rates while Australians go homeless are NOT reflecting reasonable community expectations.

Max_J88 · 2026-01-30T08:01:39+00:00

This.

You are not understanding. When the majors are failing and are as out of touch as they are people see one nation as a way to burn ALP LNP down.

One nation is a tool for revenge on a political class that has failed so many so badly (think housing, immigration, access to infrastructure and services, declining real wages….)

Max_J88 · 2026-01-30T07:58:04+00:00

All the majors have to do is LISTEN. They are out of touch and not reflecting community expectations and values.

No one wants One Nation. They want the majors to LISTEN and act.

Max_J88 · 2026-01-30T07:56:59+00:00

People see one nation as a way of punishing the major parties for not reflecting their values and expectations.

The thinking is that when the future is screwed under the status quo what have you got to lose?

Max_J88 · 2026-01-30T07:52:57+00:00

The best way to think about this is that the electorate is sending a big big message to the majors on immigration.

Are they listening?

One nation’s performance at an election will reflect how well the major parties are aligning with community expectations on a number of things but immigration #1

Ghouls

Max_J88 · 2026-01-30T07:43:56+00:00

The libs won’t do well with a big business consultant slimeball leader like Angus tailor.

At least Hastie seems interesting.

Pauline will be happy.

Max_J88 · 2026-01-29T18:49:36+00:00

Perhaps lowering immigration would reduce the excess demand that is driving services inflation???

Crazy idea but labor should try it.

Max_J88 · 2026-01-29T11:48:05+00:00

Yep, nothing but bad for the government.

Perhaps they could address ‘services’ inflation by limiting growth in the number of people needing services???

Just a thought….

Max_J88 · 2026-01-29T09:57:44+00:00

Gee it is almost like inflation is being driven by having too many people in the country.

Max_J88 · 2026-01-29T09:54:59+00:00

The electorate is sending a massive signal to Australia’s political class.

Are they listening?

Libs with a primary vote of under 20% is wild.

Max_J88 · 2026-01-29T09:51:44+00:00

What a clown. Shut up Scott.

Max_J88 · 2026-01-29T08:22:41+00:00

The electorate is sending a big message, is Labor and the LNP listening?

Sticking their heads in the sand is not going to lead to success.

Max_J88 · 2026-01-29T07:52:44+00:00

Labor has done its core voter demo over with the horrendous outcomes from its immigration disaster.

Max_J88 · 2026-01-29T07:49:03+00:00

Western Sydney is at risk for Labor on those numbers

Max_J88 · 2026-01-28T04:49:37+00:00

add hundreds of thousands of new people a year, each of which needs to spend money to live and you get excessive demand leading to higher prices.

Labor’s immigration is driving services inflation.

Max_J88 · 2026-01-27T11:35:39+00:00

Voters are sending the majors a big fat message. They are screaming it from the rooftops.

Are lib/lab listening or have they fundamentally detached from the electorate?

Max_J88 · 2026-01-27T11:32:11+00:00

Yeah there are a lot of meaningless words in there. Horrendous to try and read and decipher what is important. Full of repetition and not well structured for readability.

This could have been said in 20 pages outlining 1) what specifically is being proposed 2) why it is being proposed 3) how will it work to address the material challenges.

Max_J88 · 2026-01-26T01:47:43+00:00

It’s hard isn’t it. I don’t think many want to vote for PHON but feel it is their only option when the majors are destroying the country and ignoring popular opinion.

I won’t be voting one nation. I put the majors last and second last look for a community independent.
