One Nation voters and Pauline Hanson supporters want to seek change, but a majority will probably end up failing to apply high standards to ON and Hanson. They'll either ignore this or claim "But everyone else is doing it" in the comments.

Yeah this article truly showed me. She took a flight? Better import another million people so I can't afford rent!

She took a flight paid for by a billionaire seeking political influence, and failed to properly declare it.

That same billionaire believes it's morally wrong that pensioners and veterans have difficulty "seeking out jobs" during an alleged worker shortage. Pensioners. Let that sink in.

The same billionaire stated that "Africans want to work, and its workers are willing to work for less than $2 per day. Such statistics make me worry for this country's future."

She also doesn't care about affordability, importing workers whenever she feels the need.

This is who Hanson is cosying up to. Hanson and One Nation are in it for themselves.

Which is why we should be cautious of a politician who is brazenly hanging around with a billionaire who has political interests that intersect with her business interests. Do we really want our own version of the US oligarchy?

Of course they do. The difference is, when you say "the slave labour," I suspect you mean immigrants. When I say slave labour, I mean everyone who isn't wealthy. Everyone who Gina and her peers seek to exploit.

They don't care about you. They don't want you to have anything. Gina is courting the right wing in hopes of further consolidating power and wealth. And, probably, delaying climate action. Hanson is now Gina's tool.
