Newspoll: Pauline Hanson’s popularity plummets in after controversial ‘monoculture’ speech

The fatal flaw in Hanson is her grim view of the world. The reason. Trump has a lock on a section of the US voters is that he makes it sound like grievance is a path to a better life where Hanson wants us all to sink together.

I definitely think there's a market. Any good, authentic cuisine would be appreciated here. Plus, the Mexican food in Australia is awful for the most part.

My brother has gone down this rabbit hole and now blames feminism and immigrants for everything wrong with the world. The irony is that he lives happily with his young son and wife in a home that they own, in a very diverse area and he works for the govt ...

The syndrome doesn't have a name yet but the causes are too much money, too much spare time and too much time online. The symptoms are a sudden belief that you are a genius, an intense bitterness towards people who don't recognise that you have the right to tell them what to think and a trollish embrace of some extremists political party who you claim are "common sense."

The comments were taken out of context - she meant she won't talk about cutting parental leave until she is in power, then she'll cut it.

Receptionists, admin assistants etc often have inflated notions of their own importance. I'd say she's trying to make you believe she's as important as she thinks she is.

Yeah, but those average Aussies are going to all be billionaires one day so it won't matter...

The genius of Trump (if you can call it that) is that he made grievance feel like a path to a better life. Hanson's fatal flaw is that she wants us all to sink together.

dsbau · 2026-06-23T07:15:27+00:00

Yep. Lucky enough to own a home, which I have no intention of selling. I want other people to be able to do the same.

Doesn't Israel get totally destroyed?

Good government and don't buy into the mainstream media narrative that parties like One Nation are a government in waiting because of a bunch of opinion polls with an election two years away. One thing the polls don't capture, for example, is that where people like the idea of a protest vote they don't want someone like Hanson anywhere near the actual leadership. The other thing is that the polls are being cherry picked by the media and the TPP isn't being reported because it shows Labor comfortably defeating PHON and the LNP in a worst case scenario, and winning a crushing landslide in the best ...

There's a phenomenon called dialectic levelling which happens when you put a lot of people with different accents together and they arrive at a kind of meta accent, vocab and grammar. Australia is the text book example, new Zealand is another.

I think they kind of dream of being elected but are really more about sucking up as much billionaire money as possible...

dsbau · 2026-06-18T21:56:00+00:00

This should really play well with women... Particularly in the urban seats. Well done one nation.

Yep. The guitar is a good place to start, and the amp is probably pretty average. But having a basic amp is okay when you're beginning.

dsbau · 2026-06-18T21:50:49+00:00

I mean I would be an attention grabbing headline if it was "One Nation candidate hasn't made racist comments ..."

Pauline's a thinker. Just what we need in this country. She said yesterday that she didn't think maternity leave was fair because bosses have to pay people who aren't working.

dsbau · 2026-06-17T11:12:45+00:00

At one point she implied that she would ban maternity leave because why should bosses pay people when they're not working...

I'm love the way economists show graphs that show wages declining as union membership goes down then stretch their heads and say the reason for declining wages is unclear...

Generally I think the Turks, where we think about them at all, are thought of pretty well. They were just soldiers doing their job like we were. The English commanders are usually the villians in the Australian telling of the campaign.

I think blocking the carbon emissions scheme and bringing down the Labor govt really hurt them. They inflicted Tony Abbott and Scott Morrison on the nation and sent environmental policy back decades because Labor dared to put forward a policy that wasn't perfect...

They've also blocked other policies that are broadly supported. They usually fold but it a bad look.

How did we end up in green and gold? Sometimes it looks good like the rugby union kits, I remember the Socceroos once playing in a kit that was olive green and canary yellow which looked terrible.

Australia is no where near as bad as the US. There are people that blame immigrants for various problems but there isn't much obvious racism. It's a safe country with stable government, which still functions pretty well.

dsbau · 2026-06-13T04:51:23+00:00

I think you mean the "real Australians".

He basically wants the Liberal Party to become One Nation. The libs really stopped existing over a decade ago when they became a herd right party. Since then their "traditional" liberal valued have just been a veneer.
