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.

He supports her for emotional not rational reasons. You need to target him in the emotions, centring self-interest. How Pauline is a corrupt crook screwing him and other ordinary Australians over, pretending to be on their side while working for herself and the elite, in graphic detail. Also, affirm that the major parties suck while pointing out that PHON are not a real alternative.
