A Distinct Possibility

If federal politics continues on its present trajectory there is a distinct possibility that after the next election in 2028, One Nation with Pauline Hanson as leader will be the official Opposition to a majority Labor Government. Hanson occupying the Opposition Leaders chair that the Liberal Party has been forced to vacate, having being reduced to a handful of MP's with not a National Party member in sight, having lost every seat they held, thanks to One Nation. The bulk of non Labor members from the present parliament are those sitting on the cross benches, being joined by the Liberal Party rump that managed to hold on in a handful of seats.

One Nation with Hanson as leader, and Joyce as her deputy, with a totally inexperienced shadow cabinet, and a bunch of newbies on the back bench, they would be expected to serve it up to an experienced well established Labor Government. The only worse scenario, and a total disaster for good governance in my opinion, would be if One Nation were to win government outright from Labor. Good government requires good opposition, and there is no way One Nation could deliver on either score! What do others think?

The unlike-Paul wording of this "opinion" suggests it is a verbatim opinion from a more literate person or organisation.

The only thing that matters is removal of the Socialist Albanese government and its manipulation by unions.

The ACTU, supposed to be the protector of workers, has now decided to go outside its remit and revive the Voice, which was drubbed buy 60% of Australians. WTF has that got to do with them! It has to be part of the communistic plan go divide and control with even more than race politics, multiculturalism and mass immigration are already doing.

It has been suggested that, not only is the union movement a huge contributor to the Socialist ALP, but it is also a “stalking horse” for it, trotting out bad ideas that the ALP then adopts. The ACTU advocated the recognition of the non-existent state of Palestine, and the ‘reforms’ that “will spread the union waste, inefficiency and corruption seen in Victoria and Queensland nationwide”.

A vote for Labor is a vote for the unions hardly anyone is a member of these days, and a vote for pure Communism in the not too distant future.

And the liar might now be looking to “change his position” on the Voice. Unlike some, I am quite prepared to quote Spectator Australia (not pretend it's my own opinion) that said in 2025, before the election, that if the Albanese government was re-elected, it would “introduce a legislated Voice by stealth”.

Hi ttbn,

Say what you like, but that is my opinion, I didn't rely on any other opinion. I know you have never had an original thought of your own, and rely on right wing opinion from the likes of 'Spectator' and 'Sky After Dark' to tell you what to say and think. This topic, and you claim to be a great one for sticking to the topic, has nothing to do with union influence within the ALP.

At the moment One Nation is an unknown quantity as far as government goes. The efforts in the Senate from Hanson and Roberts leaves a lot to be desired, not that Hanson has fronted for work too often, I believe about 12% of the time, Joyce is a joke in the lower house, incoherent at best, I think he still has his "problem" which only abstinence will cure. As the Angry Old Man I can see why the Angry Old Woman appeals to you.

I don't believe it would be good for the country to have a clueless rabble sitting on the Opposition benches, engaged in infighting, that's what we have now, and that's what One Nation would deliver as well. Love em' or hate em' at least the Labor government is holding the country together.

A little word of praise for One Nation from me, their newest member, David Farley, the only glimmer of a spark in ON I've seen, his comments I may not agree with, but thus far they have been reasonably intelligent. If he is as smart as he may appear, he'll soon realise he caged with monkeys, and will do the bolt to the independent seats.

China’s ethnic unity law denounced as ‘forced assimilation’ by rights groups
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/02/china-ethnic-unity-law-denounced-rights-groups

What amuses me is people who are like 'Those damn Chinese mistreat the Uighurs!'
Next minute the same people say, 'We need to get rid of these damn Muslims!'

So what do the One Nation supporters want deportations or forces assimilations?

‘You’re insulting them’: Pauline Hanson takes aim at Albanese’s criticism of monoculture
http://youtu.be/RRBfRI75VS0

Pauline "I embrace them as Australians and that's what we are. We are Australians."

Kenny "Yeah. It's it's a pretty simple test that, isn't it? Are you Australian first or are you something else first?"

These dipshits can't even open their mouths without putting their foot in it.

Google? Does sky news put Australia first or Israel first?

AI Overview
Sky News Australia focuses primarily on Australian domestic issues, politics, and local news. However, the network features highly outspoken conservative commentators who strongly defend Israel.
This editorial stance often aligns its on-air opinions with the policies and interests of the Israeli government.

Why is our main conservative channel aligned with the policies of the Israeli government.
Says a lot for the dumb sheep going Baaaaaaaaa
