I’ve had “discussions” with people who have fallen down the ON rabbit hole, this past week, they literally believe migrants are getting of the boat rocking up to their nearest housing auction and buying million dollar properties. It’s Australia’s version of the MAGA cult.

MODERATORS
Also worth noting: (some of) those outside Australia seem largely to be responsible for the rise in One Nation popularity, by automated bot farms spreading racist lies on social media.
SBS is really fuckin pushing One Nation these days.
Do you mean they are reporting on One Nation a lot, or are you arguing they are endorsing them?
I'm definitely not arguing that, just that every article I see presents them as this super serious contender and everything. Maybe I'm just in denial and I refuse to accept it because they've been the racist asshole joke party led by the same idiot for literally my entire life.
They're a serious contender in the same sense trump was. An orange racist bafoon who set out to "drain the swamp". A ridciulous candidate who would only succeed if american politics had become psychotic. Except of course, it had become psychotic. That psychotic politics has come here
They are polling uncomfortably high, which puts them way too close to power. Worth taking seriously in order to effectively combat them.
