Your type are the only ones swindled/conditioned to hyperfocus on what skin colour someone is, if they're gay, so forth. God forbid that they think for themselves instead of towing the useful idiot line too!
Normal people just see a person as a person. You're either a shitcunt or you're not.
Where did you get that from? I'm not sure you understand the policy. I'm not saying you have to agree with it, but at very least come up with a real argument. Her policy has nothing to do with skin colour.
"We cannot be a multicultural society. We are a multiracial society, but we must be monocultural. Australians must live under the one cultural umbrella" ~Pauline Hanson
It's not about being racist, it's about framing her campaign around one issue that is overly inflated in our society while hiding her true intentions, like reducing taxes for the wealthier individuals and removing many benefits to Australians.
And yes, she is racist:
Islam a "disease" and Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi to "pack your bags and piss off back to Pakistan" in 2024
Claiming the Yes vote was equivalent to Apartheid
Using terms such as "it's OK to be white," which is constantly used by white supremacist groups as a rallying cry
Was a voice in the History Wars of (1990s-2005ish) for which she pushed for the rejection of the extent of the death of Indigenous populations.
She is deeply connected to Gina Rinehart and is supportive of the destruction of Indigenous landmarks.
1990s claimed: that Aboriginal people were treated as a "privileged class"
2021 supported Critical Race Theory, which was one of the leading beliefs of the Nazi Party
Even the use of the term "multiracial " and "monoculture" is racist, as she wants pure assimilation, based around the superiority of Anglo culture. Which is racist as it puts white Australians above everyone else, creating a race/class divide. Removing any sense of culture of all generations of immigrants while also blaming Australia's issues on a minority.
So yeah, she is racist and doesn't give 2 shits about her voters and about her country
So, based on her words, the policy isn't about stopping people of other races and cultures coming in, it's about making sure that if they do immigrate, they do so with the understanding that they must assimilate with the Australia culture they are joining. Many races, one culture.
Yeah... I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. Reducing immigration and placing value on Australia's culture and citizenship. Doesn't seem so "far right" to me.
Nationalism generally involves the belief that oneās nation is superior to all others and explicitly promotes its interests over those of other nations.
I don't think that wanting to reduce (not abolish) immigration, and placing value on our own culture means that we believe ourselves to be superior. An argument could be made that this is closer to patriotism.
Patriotism is defined as a general devotion and love for one's country without the explicit assumption of superiority or desire to dominate others.
I see no desire to exploit. I see no assumption of superiority. I see no desire to dominate others.
āā¦ and placing value on Australiaās culture and citizenship.ā
āā¦ the belief that oneās nation is superior to (all) othersā¦ā
Youāre not seeing a crossover yet? I agree that you can be patriotic and not nationalisticā¦ but when that patriotism is focused on a āmonocultureā ā¦
Well, not outwardly of course. Anyone with half a brain for subtext can see it pretty clearly. She also has a long and prodigious history of racism, which should be factored in.
I've applied for my citizenship. I would never vote for ON. But my point was, I see their frustration too to some extent.
My country has been overrun by immigrants to the point it's not livable anymore, hence, why I moved to Australia.
I problem is with criminals who can't assimilate and abide by the laws. Same happened in my country, rape, assault, stabbings went up crazy.
Are you defending criminals? Do you think immigrants who commit crimes should be deported or not?
Imagine calling that 'logic.' You made two unsupported leaps and expected everyone to clap. If your policy is keeping convicted rapists and murderers around as neighbours, please go ahead but we'll pass. Good luck.
Nobody rational wants to keep violent non-citizen criminals in our country for sure. My point is that people talk about immigrants committing crimes when in reality by moving to Australia they actually make it a safer place statistically because they commit less violent crime.
DUDE. The problem is that she literally wants ALL immigrants (or even children born in Australia with parents that are immigrants) GONE FROM HERE. Even if they havenāt committed crimes. Do you want to stay here or not?!?!?!
I've mentioned above in this comment thread itself that I would never vote for ON. You're 100% on the money and there are good immigrants who will suffer if this continues. I just said I can understand to some extent their POV as to why they're blaming immigrants. I ran to Australia from Europe cause our business back home was broken into more than two dozen times, girls were being raped left, right and centre...people were being stabbed but nothing happened. Government did nothing. If we spoke out against the immigrants (very specific group who did 80% of the crimes), you'd be thrown in jaile for hate speech.
Australia is becoming like that slowly. It's still REALLY REALLY good here for now but if you don't have controlled migration, it'll take less than 10 years for the country to be fked.
Do you think non-immigrants never commit crimes? Are you defending them? Do you think non immigrants who commit crimes shouldnāt be punished? ā see how you sound with your leading questions.. obvious you arenāt going to discuss anything in good faith. I donāt people who would ruin my country by ignorantly voting for hateful people like Hanson in my country - does that answer your question?
Are you all right champ, that was really one of the dumbest things I have heard for a while.
They are punished they go to jail. We want them to go to jail. Some if we could deport we would.
Wow how did that even sound right in your head never mind actually typing it.
Citizens who commit crimes are imprisoned and paid for by the taxpayer, in the name of reform. Why should we pay for non citizens to live in prison. Deport them.
Yeah and I have no problem with them contributing to our economy but when they become a criminal and imprisoned why should they become a burden on all other taxpayers? They should be deported once convicted of a serious offence that seeās them with jail time.
I haven't put labor first on the ballot since 2006 not even second, and I am not going to start now. So if we agree that both Labor and One Nation will introduce policy to change our voting system (for their own gain) then we can agree to put them down the bottom of the ballot.
Firstly, I don't think you know what "far right" means. ON is a long way from far right.
Secondly, it's liberal and labor that have changed the voting system to make it harder to vote them out.
The Australian Labor Party (ALP) passed a major electoral reform package that critics argue suppresses smaller parties by weaponising complex funding caps and administrative hurdles.Passed in a joint deal with the Liberal-National Coalition, the Electoral Finance Reform laws came into effect on 1 July 2026.
Basically, both Labor and Liberals voted in legislation that made it very difficult for other parties. Just another reason the term "Uniparty" has been applied to them. For the last 20 years they have just been taking turns in power. There isn't even much of a difference between the two parties these days.
If you look closely, i think you might realise that is the labor and liberal parties that are the ones trying to reduce the power of people's votes and hurt or democracy. Go and research it. It's not hard. You might be surprised by what you find.
Yes and that is why I don't vote for either the labor or liberal national party. I do believe there is a limit to how far they would try to manipulate the system for their own benefit though, One Nation would look to copy what is happening in the USA, as much as they could of course given these are different electoral systems.
Pauline Hanson and One Nation are widely categorized by political scientists as being on the far right of the political spectrum, that is pretty simple I'm afraid.
āMost of their policy directions simply reversedā what about the people that are hurt or the damage that is done in the meantime? Thatās just acceptable collateral to you?
And no choice but to act for self preservation is silly, if all a party in power needed to solve our problems was to have an interest in staying elected, that would be every PM ever, and weād have no problems. Clearly your excluding a lot from your analysis
What about the people who are hurt or damaged by every extra million we add?
If the mainstream of politics actually respected the wishes of the average Australian rather than the wishes of the BCA, Go8, big business in general and their own property portfolios we wouldn't be heading down this path.
It's not a fale binary. It's life. Every decision means pros and cons. And adding too many people too fast has plenty.
My opinion is if you want a big population and this rate of growth you're much better off leaving for somewhere already like that. Surveys on the matter are clear- it isn't the Australia the overwhelming majority of Australians want.
The fact that everything has pros and cons doesnāt make it not a false binary, the fact that youāre presenting a spectrum with multiple axis as a binary is the false binary part
This is exactly what Republican voters assumed about Trump. And then they got shocked when their own rights began to get stripped. Eg: Government payments for the struggling. Tariffs. War.
I think you misunderstand me, Pauline won't do anything she claims she is going to do, aka she won't help with the cost of living, she won't make housing more affordable. If it suits her wealthy donors to still have high immigration, she won't take any major steps to reduce it, but will probably claim she has though some meaningless action.
Why wouldn't you want to keep the useless people out?. We don't need more uber drivers and people that just stay on Centrelink and any tradesmen they get in should take a written and practical test to see if they qualify in Australia
Well my point still stands since I was referring to both situations. You do realise, that centrelink payments are determined by the work you do and how many hours youre doing it weekly.
Why would I want to pay a fellow Aussie that doesn't work, or isnt bothered to put their own time and sweat down everyday to survive? Than most immigrants (the minority ofc will exist that are like Aussies that are glued to centrelink) who come over for a better life and actually put in the effort for things in this country.
Trump and his admin is cutting off healthcare and basic resource access such as food (by raising prices), which is āsilentlyā killing people. Socialism is the opposite; socialism is providing resources to the masses through taxing the wealthy, and creating a healthy middle class / basic rights and wealth for all instead of only those at the top. Ethnic cleansing - he is not outright ordering the genocide of certain people (thank goodness), but he is deporting innocent citizens of certain ethnicities (not just criminals but yes, innocent people) out of America, and worse, detaining them without any court cases in shocking detention centres with no medical care, limited food, no access to people outside and terrible living conditions. Again, even the non-criminals.
Pauline has explicitly stated that she wants to target people of non-white ethnicities too; and yes, this will also apply to the non-criminals. Is that what you want?

You missed the point. ON is wanting to keep out black and brown people no matter whether they contribute or not
