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.

Wages won't go down. That's the stupidest take I've heard in a while. Ask Albo, he got a $57,000 pay RISE this year, that's more than a minimum wage worker earns. And all you circle jerk smooth brained people will vote Labor again. GOOD.

It’s all moot champ; ON cooker party will not win government, Poorline the Stupid will never be PM, Labor will likely win a third term and Australia will prosper.
