Fact checking Pauline for PM (bankrolled by Gina, megaphoned by Sky/Murdoch) is now essential for all engaged in Australian politics. 👇Australians need verified facts on most cost effective energy transition, insolvencies, innovation, employment, poverty, homelessness, wages…
🎙️ WHO'S ACTUALLY VOTING FOR ONE NATION? 🤔
It's more complicated than the pundits think. According to @KosSamaras, the answer isn't simply "angry voters" or "blokes".
🔹 Gen Z? Not really.
🔹 Gen X women? Absolutely.
🔹 Baby Boomers? Increasingly.
🔹 Geography matters too: the further you move from the inner cities, the stronger One Nation becomes.
Gender. Generation. Place.
On Episode 61 of Curtin's Cast, @Dyrenfurth and Kos unpack the demographic and geographic fault lines driving Australia's political upheaval.

Says everything about Tim Wilson that he’s weaponising a dishonest scare campaign against the tax changes he called for multiple times in the parliament, and in his own book. See for yourself here.

Net Migration in 2025 came in at 301k. A bit lower than I expected. Around 250k less than forecast by Adam Creighton in The OZ & about 180k less than NPLT for 2025 (as used by the Daily Telegraph, Liberal Party & One Nation). But 75k above Labor’s target of 225k.
So after all the Hanson kerfuffle yesterday, are we any clearer now on what her permanent migration & net migration targets are? Or any clearer on how she would deliver those targets? Are we any clearer on the costs of her major policies?
Looks like population growth has returned to pre covid rates. Population is now roughly what was projected pre Covid. So much noise over yet another macro econ stat that went up then down through and beyond Covid.
