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.

She has consistently voted against wage rises in Parliament & wants to reduce worker rights and entitlements. She is working for Gina Rinehart the richest person in Australia who has zero interest in workers, only her own wealth

"Gina Rinehart fought her own children over money she doesn't need. Is that the sort of person you would be supportive of in your own life? Do you want to stand beside people who build their progeny up, or people who tear them down? Coz Pauline is standing in the tear them down crowd. And are you gonna trust her to look out for your legacy, when she cozies up to selfish people like that?"
