The Hanson Battler Myth

>One Nation’s falling support is exposing the gap between Pauline Hanson’s media profile and electoral credibility. Her European roadshow offered culture-war attacks on multiculturalism, migration, transgender people and net zero, but no solutions to Australia’s housing crisis, stagnant wages or rising cost of living.

>Hanson cannot indefinitely pose as the champion of Australian battlers while keeping company with the billionaire class – and voters may finally be seeing through the contradiction.

Unfortunately, as with MAGA I don't think that Hanson's contradiction in consorting with billionaires like Rinehart is necessarily going to matter...they support her for grievance and vengeance reasons, not for actual logic (of which there is none) 🤷‍♂️
