Journo ‘shut up’ barb vintage Hanson as she makes Adelaide ‘second home’

Another week of One Nation headlines has Mike Smithson saying that with Pauline Hanson in town “you never know where the next barb will be fired”.

A former prominent Liberal politician told me recently that part of a decision to get out of politics was based around the looming threat of One Nation.

This person was seeing a real-time, worldwide trend towards dominant conservative politics and didn’t like where it was headed.

Almost everything this person feared in helping make that decision to leave has now come to pass and it doesn’t look like slowing down.

In fact, Redbridge and Accent Research figures shows One Nation could win up to 59 seats if a federal election was held today.

That would shake Canberra’s seat of power to its very foundation with the possibility of 37 seats taken from the Coalition and 16 from Labor, resulting in a minority government.

Every state would see blue and red seats, as well as the Nationals, decimated by a sea of orange.

Pauline Hanson makes no apology for her big picture view of life getting even bigger.

She’s convinced that voters proudly vote for One Nation these days knowing that it is not a wasted vote.

One could argue that all the warning signs, which worried the former Liberal pollie, came to a head at the South Australian election and were then repeated in the federal by-election seat of Farrer where One Nation continued its wild ride.

Victoria is the next target, and all indications are of a further strong showing,........
