One Nation has overtaken the Coalition and is now the second most popular party in Australia, according to major new poll conducted amid leader Pauline Hanson’s fierce opposition to the government’s proposed “hate speech” and gun laws.
The first Newpoll of the year, conducted for The Australian between Monday and Thursday last week, had Pauline Hanson’s party up 7 points to 22% of the primary vote, while the Coalition fell to a record low of 21%, down from 24% in December, with Labor down four points to 32%.
The Greens are on 12%, and other parties on 13%.
The combined major party vote is the lowest since the poll began, but on a two-party preferred basis between Labor and the Coalition, Labor is ahead 55-45 – the same margin as in last year’s federal election.
Mr Albanese’s net approval rating collapsed to -11, but Opposition leader Sussan Ley’s was even worse on -28.
The results come after Ms Hanson recruited former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce, and following Mr Albanese and Ms Ley’s polarising responses to the Bondi Islamic terrorist attack.
Ms Hanson also came out strongly against Mr Albanese’s controversial Combatting Anti-Semitism Hate and Extremism Bill, which has since been split in two due to backlash from legal experts, civil libertarians, Christian and Muslim leaders, some Jewish groups, and everyday Australians.
A Resolve Political Monitor poll for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, also conducted last week, showed similar trends but had Labor winning 30% of the primary vote, followed by the Coalition on 28%, One Nation 18%, the Greens on 10%, and others on 14%.
However, One Nation’s result was a poll record, and Resolve political analyst Jim Reed said its rising popularity was a problem for the Labor and Liberal leaders.
“One Nation have taken a big chunk of the Coalition’s base since the election, but since the Bondi massacre they’re also hoovering up votes from Labor too,” he said.
“If this trend continues, we may have to stop referring to them as a minor party.”
what a mental world we live in

Is “Newpoll” a typo for “Newspoll”, and has this been verified? “Noticer News” looks like a new outlet of uncertain reliability, and what’s to say that it’s not some kind of disinformation operation (possibly to build up One Nation as a viable major party, or just to destabilise things)?

Noticer News is a neo-Nazi news outlet.
I am not exaggerating or using that term loosely.
Their front page makes it pretty obvious, with articles such as “How the NSN deradicalised Australia”, “Australia needs a Royal Commission - into the Jewish lobby” and calling Joel Davis a “political prisoner”. Furthermore, “the noticer” is a meme from 4chan’s /pol/ board, referring to “noticing patterns” which they claim confirm their racial conspiracy theories - this is reflected in their publication which constantly overreports any incidents involving their scapegoats.

So I just read a few of the articles on the noticer news like “How the NSN deradicalised Australia” and I think racial conspiracy theories is pretty accurate tag
It starts with something accurate, he’s noticed that a large chunk of the Australian population isn’t like him anymore due to a surge in immigration and he wants to less people who are not like him and more who are (fair enough, that’s his opinion that a lot of people of different races/cultures share), then it goes into how peaceful the NSN are (if you ignore all the violence?) then goes into ??? holocaust denial ??? no idea why they are so obsessed with it, I assume it’s part of the groups idiot culture, and then finishes up with what appears to be a brochure of delusions of what they think they are instead of the awful people they actually are
all in all 10/10 completely retarded 🤦
