One Nation crashes the Coalition fortress

Farrer voters have jumped from the dirty dishwater of the LNP into the boiling sewers of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation (PHON).

As every corporate news media outlet in the galaxy shouted from the rooftops, the far-right PHON herd won last Saturday. byelection Here in my home state of New South Wales, in the former Coalition stronghold of Farrer.

ABC News He describes the political demonstration as follows:

‘As a result, the Coalition lost part of its heartland and the jewel in its crown – the seat it had held for nearly 80 years – while seeing One Nation record not just a landslide but a historic victory in Farrer.’

For the first time in PHON’s unstable and corrupt history, he won a Lower House seat in the Australian Federal Parliament. These days, however, the LNP Coalition is not that different from PHON’s mouth-breathing, flag-waving, finger-dragging cranks, bigots, anti-vaxxers, chemtrail alarmists, chancers, cheats and racists; but the current interim leader, Angus Tayloris doing its best to close this gap.

After all, in 1996, Pauline Hanson LNP was an LP candidate until PM John Howard He gave him the boot. Howard even got a hold of him briefly was imprisoned for corruptiondeveloped here fear of thong (or flip-flops as Kiwis, Poms and Seppos call them).

The irony, of course, is that Howard later got his hands on her racist dog whistle and turned it into a foghorn.

Farrer’s seat used to be held by ridiculously incompetent people. Susan Ley For 25 insignificant years, he was only up for grabs when he resigned after being ripped off by his colleagues: he briefly became the LP “leader”, but only for crash test dummy purposes.

Trump-worshipping, barely coherent and deeply ignorant, Hanson is insufferable at the best of times; the last time he received a “donation” from Trump. Gina Rinehartbillionaire mining magnate, businesswoman and Australia’s richest person – but after this bonanza the crazy redhead will scream even louder.

Gina’s donation? A brand new Cirrus G7 worth approximately $1.3 million. At the same time, $2 million in cash from the fossil fuel mining industry was showered on Hanson by the stockbroker. Angus AitkenGina’s CEO of Hancock Holdings Adam Giles And Ian PlimerFamous anti-science scientist.

So much for Pauline’s claims that she is interested in the average Aussie fighter! He takes their crazy money and lurches into the tall grass. When Hanson sheds crocodile tears for the “forgotten people” he does not mean the stupid plebeians who made him a multi-millionaire at 30 – THIRTY! – shameful years as a Senator – meaning the rotten, rich, right-wing extremists who were his real supporters.

But one thing is certain: following the One Nation tradition will win candidates instantly David Farley He will probably leave the party soon and declare himself an Independent. Yes, friends, more than two-thirds of the elected One Nation members jumped ship before the end of their term of office.

So there is no need to panic. The crazy redhead’s reign is not imminent. This win for PHONy is just a passing success, and Hanson will continue to entertain us and provide comedians, cartoonists, and bloggers with plenty of material for years to come.
