Barry Cassidy has hit the nail on the head: One Nation can’t win in the cities with its policies.
Labor, Liberals, Greens and Teals hold an effective electoral wall in metropolitan areas, making it impossible for One Nation to win enough seats to form government.

No matter who you support in politics, it is completely unacceptable to demean, objectify, belittle or offend women.
The sexist campaign targeting Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan is a disgrace and the people behind these materials should withdraw them immediately.
Nearly 14 years after Julia Gillard's misogyny speech, billboards in Melbourne are depicting Jacinta Allan as a witch with the slogan "Ditch the Witch"
It seems Misogyny is alive and well. Meanwhile, Tony Abbott is now back in charge of the Liberal Party. FFS

So Ivanka claims she came across this island swimming in the Mediterranean and she came ashore barefoot to explore the islands😂😂
Here is the problem with this: First, the island is in the Adriatic Sea. Secondly, the Albanians say the island is full of snakes making her barefoot story implausible. Lastly, in the words of Steve Schmidt, the island is full of landmines thus making her extremely lucky or a liar. I’m going with liar.

"You started a war. You thought you would win. Now look at the mess that your country is in."
🇦🇱 900,000 people in Albania are COOKING Israel and the United States 🔥
They protested the sale of land to Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, for a private resort.
Protesters chanted "Albania Is Not for Sale" and "Get Lost Trump."
The courage they're showing is remarkable🔥
Netanyahu: "Did the Nazis politely ask Jews to leave? Did they say 'Please go'? 'Step out so we can move in'? Of course not."
By saying this, he confessed with his own mouth — he is the Nazi now. 🔥🇮🇱🎙️💀
Perfect projection. 😈🎭
Trump has just destroyed the US beef industry.
No country in their right mind is going to import US beef.
After Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs, the dangerous flesh-eating parasite has been found in US cattle for the first time since 1966.
Gina Reinhardt took her own flesh and blood to court over money.
Her own kids.
You honestly think she gave Hanson $2 million in cash and a brand new plane and doesn’t want anything in return?
If you do you’re more stupid than the poor person living in a trailer park who bought a Trump phone believing it was American made.
@Peter_Fitz We've endured 20 years of Barnaby Joyce - he's been a Senator, MHR, Party Leader, Minister, Cabinet Member, Deputy PM, Acting PM - and I challenge anyone to name one - just one - substantive achievement in politics.
Leave the prick on the footpath for hard rubbish day.
Compare the pair.
Anthony Albanese and Pauline Hanson both entered federal politics in 1996.
Same year.
Same country.
Same broad opportunity to leave a mark.
Nearly 30 years later, here’s the comparison.
Pauline Hanson:
Bills originated and passed into law: zero.
Her great parliamentary hits include:
• a failed COVID vaccination bill
• a failed burqa ban
• a failed immigration plebiscite
• endless motions, stunts and tantrums that generate headlines and but no actual law
Her own political legacy is mostly framed around:
• blocking other people’s legislation
• forcing inquiries
• leveraging crossbench numbers
• complaining loudly enough that the media mistakes volume for achievement
Parliamentary attendance rate: 53%.
Which does raise the question if Pauline attended parliament a bit more often, might she have actually managed to get something done beyond scowling at modernity?
Anthony Albanese:
Bills passed into law in government include...
• legislating the 43% emissions reduction target
• 10 days paid domestic violence leave
• cheaper childcare through a higher subsidy cap
• energy price caps on gas and coal
• household energy bill relief
• establishing the National Anti-Corruption Commission
• the Help to Buy shared equity housing scheme
• banning foreign purchases of existing homes
• wiping billions in student debt
• full school funding reform
• RBA reform
• the under-16 social media ban
• the Future Made in Australia manufacturing package
• criminalising wage theft
• lifting minimum wages for the lowest paid
• delivering two consecutive budget surpluses
• EV fringe benefits tax exemptions
• aged care pay rises
• support for nurse and midwife wage rises
• legislated super on paid parental leave
Parliamentary attendance rate: 83%.
And that’s as the Prime Minister, with international travel, diplomatic obligations, cabinet management, legislation, party discipline, question time, and the small inconvenience of actually running the country.
Compare the pair.
One has spent decades in politics and can point to a list of legislation, reforms and institutional changes.
The other has spent decades in politics and can point to a list of grievances, failed bills, lost crusades and media appearances.
One knows how to govern.
The other knows how to linger.
One built policy.
The other built a brand.
One passed laws.
The other passed through parliament just often enough to remind us she’s still there.
Same starting line.
Nearly 30 years later.
One of them knows how to run the country.
The other knows how to run a permanent one-person protest stall inside it.
Compare the pair.
General advice only.
Please consider your personal circumstances before mistaking noise for achievement.
