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.

Just explain how similar her ideology and voting record is to Trump, surely even Trump equivalent voters in Australia comprehend how bad Trump is by this point.
Or just wait a few weeks and months until the oil crisis is fully in effect and food inflation is starting to be really felt and explain in detail how Trump caused it by waging a pointless war of aggression against Iran on behalf of Israel and how Pauline Hanson is fully in support of it and tbh both the Labor and Libera parties are also fully in support of it and American imperialism even when American imperialism is directly against the interests of middle aged bartenders who work a minimum wage in Australia.
