the sun is as theoretical as clouds

Pauline Hanson is against paid parental leave, but knows people want it so is lying about her voting record to make her seem more compassionate and normal.

Be the person who pierces their echo chamber. Talk to them. Figure out what they are angry about and find solutions, or point out how One Nation isn't going to fix anything.

Are they worried about immigration? Well, immigration is actually steadily declining and population growth is at a record low.

Are they worried about cost of living? One Nation wants to repeal workplace protections and make it easier for workers to lose their jobs.

Are they concerned about people coming here and not speaking English? English competency is a requirement for Australian citizenship and so is a non-issue.

Are they concerned about the cost of electricity? Electricity prices are actually cheaper because of renewable energy. Higher costs are due to the cost of gas. One Nation wants to get rid of cost-saving renewables and doesn't believe in climate change.

What about house prices? Pauline Hanson has consistently voted against measures to increase housing affordability.

What about the major parties being bought for by corporate interests? Pauline Hanson is literally being gifted millions by one of Australia's richest billionaires, Gina Rhinehart. Hanson also repeatedly fails to declare gifts from Rhinehart and One Nation repeatedly fails to give any kind of financial disclosure at all. This is very dodgy! If they're worried about political corruption then One Nation should be the prime target for distrust.

Go forth.

Talk to people.

If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.

Monoculturalism is nothing but a bad attempt at a racist dogwhistle, but to defend accusations of being a racist dogwhistle requires you to say outright you embrace multiculturalism. The entire concept is self-defeating bullshit that only racist idiots fall for.

Let's be honest. This is not a real debate. This is a deliberate attempt to muddle the meaning of the word multiculturalism so it can become a loaded and divisive political term. It's like when the right appropriated "woke" which had a clear definition before being turned into a meaningless culture war catchall. This is not policy. This is racism and division and it's just luck that Hanson’s desperate throwing spaghetti at the wall style of making shit up has finally got something to stick.
