The momentum for One Nation at the moment is real, however, it won't last. The next federal election is a bit over 2 years away. Things will have settled back towards normality by then.

We are in no danger of them ever being meaningful but I think their momentum will build. Things like cost of living and immigration are still very high on people’s minds and I can only see that being pushed harder by Hanson and Co

They need this to translate to lower house seat wins to be more meaningful. That's a massive issue for them, getting seats one is one thing, getting candidates to compete in these seats that are vetted and bot full crackpots is another thing.
Read my reply. It is directed at you because you have double standards

A message from the Hoodoo Guru's

We were disgusted to hear that one of our songs was played by a bunch of wannabe fascists yesterday (One Nation). Like most Australians, we have always been appalled by Pauline Hanson and the toxic nonsense she spouts. This is our message to her and her followers: don’t play our music, don’t listen to our band, do not pass go! We want nothing to do with you. In fact, we wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire.

:lol:

There are (currently) 150 seats in the House of Representatives :

Labor (94)
Liberal (28)
National (14)
Greens (1)
Katter's Australian (1)
Centre Alliance (1)
One Nation (1)
Independent (10)

And who is the One Nation Member? None other than old mate Barnaby who ran as a National at the last election.

Historical Performance of One Nation in the House of Representatives:

1998: 8.43% (Highest ever)
2001: 4.35%
2016: 1.28%
2019: 3.08%
2022: 4.96%
2025: 6.40%

So between 91.57% and 98.72% of the federal electorate has rejected One Nation at every Federal election since Pauline Hanson was first elected to Parliament.

Exactly

with Electorates of 100 K lets say in some of the redneck wonderland seats of **** Queensland where you might get up to 30% of the primary vote so ONP come in 2nd they are still relying on a preference flow of at least 2:1 (depending on how far behind hey are to the main lead candidate) to some how scrape in to get a "green seat".
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

At least the redneck element of society here is never more than 10%, usually much lower.

In the alternative universe that is the US of A, that rises to at least 30%, at times much higher, so with voluntary voting, you see the results now.
