What happens to centre-right politics if One Nation continues to grow? : Comments
By Graham Young, published 26/3/2026One Nation channels right wing fury, but ironically, can it ever do more than increase Labor's chances at every election it contests?

Kudos Kid,
You are totally opposed to social progress, with your so called "Traditionalism" whatever that is. Other than some hairy-fairy nostalgic nonsense there seem to be no identifiable thing as "Traditionalism", its an illusion, like your babbling on constantly about those no existent Woke Marxist, the red under the beds, you preoccupy yourself with.

I dunno, Paul, how is it a "democracy" if voters in polls clearly want low migration, yet LiberalTealGreenLabor ignore them and insult them.
It might look as if, I'm anti Labor. But Labor is the one in power, for a minimum of nine years. Almost certainly, their legacy is going to be massive immigration, unaffordable housing, expensive energy, real wages stuck at 2011 levels, and heightened social division. In what sense are these "well balanced" outcomes? How come you're so relaxed and comfortable? Posted by Steve S, Saturday, 28 March 2026 4:56:15 PM

Hi Steve,
I see Australia as a lucky country, blessed with peace and prosperity. Sure we have problems to address and overcome, that's a fact of life. We enjoy stable democratic governments (both Labor and Coalition) that I believe do work for the betterment of society, not a perfect political system by no means, but one that generally works well. I see myself as a progressive socialist, who believes in equality and justice for all, such noble ambitions. I favour political parties that I believe are committed to my principles, generally that is Labor and the Greens, although I have voted for one or two Coalition candidates in the past, who I considered progressive, in fact more progressive than the Labor or Green candidates. Today if I was to vote, at the three levels of government, federal (Labor) state (Labor) local (LNP) I would vote for the three incumbents, I believe all three do a good job. As for immigration, I believe the policy is as well balanced as it can be, given the circumstances. "their legacy (Labor) is going to be massive immigration, unaffordable housing, expensive energy, real wages stuck at 2011 levels" That's crystal ball gazing stuff. I'm more optimistic, and believe those and other challenges will be met and overcome, and Australia will be better off for the experience. There will be new challenges in the future, and its good government that tackles those challenges Posted by Paul1405, Saturday, 28 March 2026 6:22:13 PM

One Nation is a brainfart.
'What is the cause of the conflict' A One Nation supporter thinks 'immigration and Muslims' So why do they support Israel, that causes the wars that cause the immigration. One Nation is angry at the 'Spiders in the bed' (Muslims) But they don't look at the root causes They don't look deeper asking 'What is the cause of the conflict?' They don't ask 'Who put the spiders in the bed?' They support the nation and as such support the causes of the conflict 'War for Israel' that brought the Muslim immigrants they already complain about. - And that's why they are a brainfart party, not a protest party. Australian economy is in full meltdown because of the Trump/Israel’s war against Iran. Zionists caused this. Albo supported this. Penny Wong supported this. Pauline Hanson supported this, I think Pauline is even dumber than Donald Trump when it comes to geopolitics. http://www.onenation.org.au/pauline-hanson-supporting-israel-and-australias-jewish-community No matter what argument one can manufacture, the West are the ones assassinating foreign leaders, the ones who started an illegal war of aggression, who attack hospitals, police, and schools ambulances and are planning to invade them. Iran are just responding to plans to destroy them. Saying, 'We just want to put in a different government TO HELP THEM', is total bs. Posted by Armchair Critic, Sunday, 29 March 2026 11:54:35 AM

Armchair Critic- Are you saying that you support the Iranian leadership? You asked about the underlying reason for the conflict in the middle east, everyone including One Nation and Pauline Hanson knows it's about the oil and the Suez Canal. Maybe Henry Ford (or Thomas Edison) would have the skill set to do something about the problem but this skill set is one that comes up a couple of times in the world in 100 years. And the political environment is not conducive to supporting this sort of person. What is the difference between the 1920's and the 2020's. By criticizing One Nation's faults you are implying that you are more capable than One Nation at solving Australia's and the World's problems, I believe that you Armchair Critic have many positive attributes and many glaring shortcomings, but I don't think that in this case you have shown a good understanding of the issues. But perhaps you understand the issues better than the uniparty.

It's been said that the Liberal Party hasn't been a proper opposition party, because they haven't addressed the paradoxes inherent in the "state space" of Australia. And the reason for this is because they haven't addressed their own internal party "state space". One Nation has, and that's why it's brand is growing, while the Liberal Party's is shrinking. The Liberal Party has been pre-occupied with fashionable politics, and needs to return to core principles to survive. One Nation has a sound basis for growth, but there will still be growing pains due to scaling issues.
