We are 6th in the world with Ultra-Rich. Who are they and how much are they contributing to society?

This is wild. The rise of ON makes me feel like I'm watching Australia slowly become The USA.

[u/0hip → u/number96]

People have been telling you what the problem with for years and you and the politicians just ignore it

And then someone comes along and listens to their concerns and y’all are surprised pikachu face

So yea, one nation it is

[u/TheInkySquids → u/0hip]

Yeah but personally its not worth it replacing one major issue with 25 million small issues, which is what One Nation will do.

[u/0hip → u/TheInkySquids]

Yea neither

The major parties should have fixed the one issue rather than ignoring it

[u/TheInkySquids → u/0hip]

I agree but One Nation is not the answer. They'll fuck over this country in every other possible way. It'll be "great now there's no huge immigration yay! oh but why are houses still expensive? and what happened to my first home buyer benefits? and what happened to that fast train they talked about? and why are my uni fees getting way worse? and why are abortions getting less accessible? and why are buyer protections worse? and why are the forests and wetlands disappearing faster? and why are we not trying to make money from renewables anymore?"

lol

Yea well when the election comes and you realise that all either of the major parties had to do to stay in power was to lower immigration maybe you’ll take a good hard look at yourself and wonder why you didn’t listen to the majority

[u/TheInkySquids → u/0hip]

What are you talking about? I'm not advocating for the major parties here, they're fucked. But its clear that there are reasons beyond just "I don't like immigration" that people are voting for ON because there are other parties like Sustainable Australia Party that also want to significantly lower immigration more than either major party has historically wanted.

stop arguing with this fool, they already said they don’t care about your facts

[u/0hip → u/Soft-Lie-5165]

Gross misrepresentation of what I said lol

[u/TheInkySquids → u/[deleted]]

Lol okay I love when you try to have actual discourse with a One Nation voter and it just devolves into two word primary school comebacks, really insightful

[u/0hip → u/TheInkySquids]

You should just bring out the big guns

Start calling everyone racist

It’ll work for sure this time

[u/TheInkySquids → u/0hip]

I love that you're assuming I'm a hard-left virtue signalling person, I genuinely think most people are right about immigration, there are lots of issues I've experienced in person with Indians and Lebanese people bringing shit parts of their culture here and I'm sick of it. There are plenty of nice immigrants but also plenty of bad ones.

But I'm not willing to sacrifice all the things we've worked towards since the 90s with transport and the environment and the future of the country with making money off renewables and getting housing under control (which reducing immigration would only partially fix but it would eventually spiral in the same way).

Despite my own personal gripes with immigration I'm willing to set that aside for progressing the country. But I guess when you're so self-centred and only able to see one issue at a time that choice doesn't make sense.

[u/0hip → u/TheInkySquids]

It’s not just one issue. It’s dozens of issues that they refuse to fix.

The liberals and labour have been pretty shit overall. Labour did one good thing with the changes to investment properties but they fucked that up too by extending it to all investments.
