Its amazing. Reading the stuff on this forum there appears
to be a pretence that Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party
is representative of mainstream Australia. The adulation
and misrepresentation is massive lol.

The truth is that based on AEC figures that One Nation
only received 1.14% of the primary vote in the House of Reps
and 4.27% in the Senate. These are national figures.

So that means that in the House of Reps 98.86% did not vote
for One Nation and in the Senate 95.73% did not vote for One Nation.

Yet here the concentration of supporters of failed ALA fringe group
have now switched to One Nation and peddle the lie that it is
representative of mainstream Australia.

The same concentration of Hanson One Nation supporters here
try to dismiss other parties as not being relevant or representative
of mainstream Australia when even the Greens whom they rubbish
out-polled them by far.

One Nation were NOT voted for by 98.86% of voters in the Reps
and NOT voted for by 95.73% in the Senate. They are the facts.

Its a fringe Party operating on a platform of fear and division with
a very small support base.

The official numbers tell the story.

Expand

A total vote of 4% in the Senate is not as significant as the 3+ Senators in such a finely balanced Senate.
One Nation also has a media influence far outweighing its voting base, last night's Q&A for example.

We will see how Pauline goes this time around. Best of luck to her.
