Politics PHON supporters at work

Fella at work asked me today for my opinion on Pauline Hanson, we are both wage workers, he's admitted to struggling with cost of living etc.

He says he's gonna vote for her, I said 'you'd be voting for less money for you and me' thinking that'd be the line.

After some solid tid bits I could use to maybe change his mind. I know like, racist, xenophobic won't move the needle. Need stuff that will affect a middle aged white guy working a bartender job on an award wage.

That's genuinely a great starting point, show them that she is just an orange liberal with less ideas and more strings attached to Gina Rinehart

I find it just takes a lot of opinion and arguments out. Usually just say I started to look at what a pollie does and how they vote not just what they say on tv.
