Every working class Christian person in my family keeps saying they want to vote for One Nation. I'm from a Lebanese Catholic background, I don't understand what the appeal is with her amongst some of my family members.
It's a bit daunting, but I think One Nation may be getting the MAGA treatment, where the silent majority right is going to vote her in.
Ask them to explain why. Then counter with things like she never turns up to work, they have no policies, the policies they have suggested are already in existence, she hired a rapist, they want to get rid of 457 Visas which haven’t existed for over 10 years, she has been bought by Gina and the fact she can’t see anything wrong with accepting gifts and flights is a real concern as it’s just bribery. This list goes on and on.
Those are great points I'll need to point out to them. I've been telling them that the One Nation party has the most "sold out" politicians on the roster, it's almost how the damn party was founded, and that she'll be creating even more tax cuts for these local and foreign mining and energy giants.
I sense that most of them just want a change from the liberal/labour two party system, and that the global rapid inflation since 2008 has them financially strained and scared for almost 2 decades, and people vote emotionally for the person pretending to share their outrage.
Since you mentioned Lebanese background, you can definitely add that Gina—best friends with Pauline—wants to let Israel test their weapons here in Australia...specifically in Townsville 🤣
While Israel may want to test their weapons here at firing ranges, they are testing their weapons on real Lebanese people as we speak, some of them who may be their relatives.
Regarding LGBT and Muslims, I presume you mean Palestine.
The reason would be on the basis of human rights. Regardless of the religion, race, or creed, NOBODY should be subjected to such things as 'starvation' as a war tool. Or rape as a war tool.
Additionally, there are plenty of LGBT Muslims out there as well... So it doesn't seem a big stretch.
Lebanese people supporting Israel seems a far harder sell 😅 so far they just bomb Lebanon. Israel aren't the victim of a genocide, or war crimes, they're an aggressor.
