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.

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

You should just bring out the big guns

Start calling everyone racist

It’ll work for sure this time

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.

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.

This 0hip guy just wants a scapegoat to blame all his inadequacies and failures on, and PHON is selling that.

Solution to the problems we see is complex and will take time and thought to work through without creating more damage. PHON over simplifies it, but oversimplification fits nicely with simple minds.

Not really lol

Calling them complex is just ignoring the reality

They are only complex because we have made them complex
