“Pauline Hanson wants Australians angry, divided and scared of our neighbours. It’s an ugly and racist distraction from her servitude of the same billionaires and corporate superprofits as the major parties. “One Nation opposes wage increases for workers and opposes a 25% tax on gas exports.
One Nation looks after corporate superprofits, not people. “Attacking multiculturalism and pedalling islamophobia and transphobia won’t fix the housing or cost of living crisis. “One Nation will not change the system any more than Labor or the Liberals will.
“Every party in the country except the Greens is bleeding votes to One Nation. The major parties are in decline, and we have an opportunity for real change. But One Nation wants more of the same.
“If people want a fair go in Australia, they need to vote for the only party that puts people ahead of profits: The Greens.
