“The Essential poll and other published polls have continued to show rising support for One Nation since at least October, despite mounting controversies – including the party’s decision to employ convicted rapist Sean Black until this month, Hanson’s inflammatory comments about Muslims, her stunt of wearing a burqa in the Senate, and scrutiny about transparency and her relationship with billionaire Gina Rinehart.” (Source: The Guardian)

Gowwd help us all, especially those twits who responded to that poll. We either all wake up soon and stop this foolhardy fling with the #PHON. All those twits need to do is open their eyes and look at #MAGA #USA. Or we’ll plunge into the chaos that is a#Tyrranical regime sooner or later. Is that what they want for #AUS ? Am I being a tad hysterical here? Please tell me there is hope we’ll stay with #SocialDemocratic ideals.
