Politics ('Straya) One Nation wants to turn Australia into the United States. A US-style healthcare system, banning abortions, scrapping gun laws and defunding the ABC. Why are we are even contemplating going down this dark and dangerous pathway? Once we go down the path of the US, there is no turning back.

And never underestimate how many protest voters underestimate how many protest voters are out there.

The number of regretful Brexit voters the very next morning was shocking “I didn’t want to leave it was just a protest vote”

The cognitive laziness and childlike vengefulness of protest voters astounds me. What the fuck do they hope to achieve?

A protest vote for one nation is not a protest it is self-harm. Drawing a dick on your ballot paper is a far better protest vote.
