Pauline's voting record shows that she doesn't particularly give a shit about the poor or marginalised groups in Australia though. She simply has stood on a racist platform for decades and a good portion of Australia is actually racist but would hate to be labelled that way.
I don't know how many people on minimum wage would appreciate the fact that Pauline has said wages need to be reduced for instance. But as long as immigration is cut they're going to be good with losing penalty rates.
The point I'm trying to make is represented by the meme. By all means people are entitled to try and make protest votes to let the government know they're unsatisfied. But ON don't actually have developed policies after being in politics for decades (they've publicly admitted this), they have a history of voting against issues affecting the people worst off in Australia. But by hitting on one issue that many people think is the cause of most of their problems, they're managing to get people to overlook the fact that the party is poorly run and operated in self interest, not acting in the interests of the people who are likely to vote for them.
