Allan’s net favourability plunged to minus 42 per cent, making her one of the most unpopular state leaders in Australian history. No premier has won an election with such dire personal approval ratings, and only John Cain in Victoria and Anna Bligh in Queensland (both minus 43) have been less popular than Allan.
I’m gonna be so mad if the first state election since I moved here ushers in a far right party. Though it would be extremely funny
You mean media which likely favors the elderly and people who are right wing?
what?
I feel like a lot of financial review readers are the exact people who are targeted by the new tax changes
The poll isn’t really useful anyway if it’s not normalized by checking if the majority of readers are right wing
It’s like polling sky news. Only useful if the trend is away from the right wing realistically

It’s kinda scary how quickly this party got off the ground. Pauline has been out networking with the mining giants, the NRA, MAGA republicans and the Epstein oligarchy. If she gets in, then these groups will wholly influence government policy.
Do people not realise, or not care?

They don’t care, it’s a party that actually addresses their concerns and offers something different. Victims of Capitalism in decay always turn to populism, because they’re being ignored by the existing system. Sometimes that populism is being done by good people, sometimes its fascists, sometimes it’s both.
In the Imperial fringes like Australia, it’s just fascism doing any kind of talking. There is no actual labour movement despite the alleged political group that has burrowed into the eponymous party, hollowed out the core, and publicly deemed anyone actually pro-labour as antisemitic. So of course the fascist party is the one that will be gaining votes.
Because they declare that the status quo is bad, and most people will resonate with that message.

For most, I suspect it’s the first. Media bubbles are crazy, and that’s why it’s vital for everyone to mention these things in day-to-day life (ideally without being preachy or inflammatory).

This is expected. Liberalism allowed right wing fascists and billionaires to construct propaganda machines, surveillance capitalism to collect all the data, and all of them to engage in targeted psychological warfare campaigns for profit.
Fascism is capitalism in decay, and the majority are too brainwashed and uneducated to realise they’re being conned by even worse psychopaths than the current gaggle of corrupt corporate-whores.

Its easier when theres big money, friendly porpogandists in the media, and social media slop farms backing you and keeping you’re face and latest message constantly in people’s faces.
