We've seen these sorts of claims come & go for almost 30yrs. ONP will get numbers then it all falls apart. As former Qld Nats Premier Rob Borbidge warned, "any association with One Nation is absolutely toxic, particularly in south-east Queensland." #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

‘The ground is shifting’: what’s driving One Nation’s surge and could it replace the ‘floundering Liberals’?

As its support doubles, One Nation is targeting conservative voters disillusioned with the Liberals and Nationals on immigration and net zero

Yes I agree with you. This is the one nation supporters gone up and then dies in the arse as quickly as it went up. It’s not a stable party because it’s not a party that has stable people in it.

What’s with these ridiculous photos?!
AUS isn’t buying into Murdoch’s ridiculous attempts to portray support for Palestinians as some twisted form of terrorism

Facts are that Littleproud is an irrelevant, political joke and what is happening in Palestine is nothing short of genocide

Jacinta Price draped in an Australian flag and the BS that goes with it makes the party look more like a circus

Tony @tonyshepherd.bsky.social · 13h

I don’t have a problem with athletes in international championships and win drape themselves in the Australian flag. I have a big problem with racist redneck politicians that make out of their loyalty of the country and do nothing get a photo taken with the flag draped over their scrawny shoulders
