One Nation Policy Legitimacy

I said Maurice, I mean Morris, obviously. It just came out. So Australia. Now, Australia is a gog that one nation is the highest polling party at the moment. And talkers turned to Pauline Hansen as Prime Minister. So former Queensland Premier Pete Beattie, uh, who beat One Nation back in the 90s has written a warning that confusing one nation with the people who vote for it is a serious mistake. He argues that many One Nation supporters are decent, hardworking Australians who feel ignored by the major parties. They're anxious about rising living costs, job security, and how AI will reshape the walk workforce. Sound familiar. At the heart of it, they believe Australia is heading in the wrong direction, and no one in power is listening. So Beattie says one nation has tapped into these fears with a powerful scare campaign, blaming immigration for everything from housing prices to electricity costs. But he argues the party remains one of a party of complaint. And that's the quote a party of complaint, offering anger rather than solutions. So then he goes on to lay out what the major parties must do to win back trusts. They should deliver a clear skills-based immigration policy. Explain the benefits of multiculturalism. Paint a real vision for Australia in 2050. Prepare workers for an AI driven economy, back innovation in key industries, invest seriously in regional infrastructure, and provide meaningful ongoing cost of living relief. Not one off handouts. Doesn't that sound good? Wouldn't you like that here? In fact, it is advice that could be heard here. And it could be advice that could be heard by our mainstream parties when supporters leaching to the minor parties, stand up act in New Zealand first, who are also parties of complaint.
