#SApol #Auspol interesting that the current SA Labor govt is less socially liberal than its precedlng Liberal govt, but Alex Antic's Liberals are more conservative on things like abortion, voluntary assisted dying etc than Hanson's One Nation Party.
South Australia that created Family First in the 2000s now has 3 similar parties: Liberal, Family First & Australian Families.
PHON is more a Divorced White Men First party.

I feel like people often take two data points/elections in politics and assume a trend. One Nation will disappear from SA next election. #auspol #sapol

#sapol If so many Liberal voters think that Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party is their best alternative, then surely someone in the party machinery must be able to work out that their policy framework has been drifting in the totally wrong direction. The few Liberal voters left must surely want the party to reclaim the centre, not expand into the far right.

https://social.chinwag.org/@abc_bot/116274490583353266 yeah well, that might well be, but he is still a Shoppie, & he still demonises legitimate vital public protests against the absolute shitfuckery of govts & companies hand in hand to destroy climate + biodiversity, so fuck him!

@trib @tomroberts

Potentially 3 upper house seats and maybe 3 or 4 in the lower house. Not huge numbers but the result confirmed the polling was accurate

Sure. But one seat off 20% of first preferences statewide still means you're irrelevant. The problem here is with conservatism. It is not fit for purpose.

Breaking: One Nation wins first seat in SA parliament's lower house, ABC projects

One Nation is projected to win its first seat in South Australia's lower house, the first time the party has done so outside of Queensland.

Another example of this propaganda from Seven News Australia:
#Auspol #SAPol #SAVotes

Labor won over 45 seats (24 needed to win) and they absolutely demolished the Liberals who have won fewer than 10.

One Nation (Australian MAGA) might be in with a chance for one, maybe two seats.

Seven News ran this story promoting One Nation as some incredible accomplishment from Pauline Hanson with a banner throughout celebrating that an “ORANGE TSUNAMI STRIKES”

America has taught them well.
