NSW Premier Confused Fighting Votes, Not Racism, Because Politics
KEY POINTS
- •NSW Premier Chris Minns said One Nation's rise threatens Labor's hold on multiple electorates and stressed fighting for those votes.
- •Minns called some Pauline Hanson statements 'definitely racist' but claimed not all voters supporting One Nation share those views.
- •He highlighted policy tweaks in NSW, while gambling group TAB was criticized for breaching marketing rules despite people opting out.
Chris Minns, the NSW premier and Labor's current vote-sweater, admitted on ABC that One Nation’s Pauline Hanson isn't exactly Miss Inclusive—specifically citing her 'no good Muslim' comment, a phrase that screams racism louder than a toddler denied candy. Yet, Minns insists not every One Nation voter is a card-carrying racist, just some who 'worry about immigration,' which sounds suspiciously like trying to politely tiptoe around hate. Labor feels ‘under threat’ across multiple seats, so they’re dusting off 'practical commonsense changes,' which, based on past performance, might mean handing out cookies. Bonus: TAB gambling marketing breaches remind us some choices really aren’t respected.

(1 of 3)Labor treats Pauline Hanson’s open racism like a hemorrhoid—annoying but gotta fight votes, not it. Politics: where denial meets desperation.
Pauline Hanson drops racist bombs, Labor ducks and weaves, all while begging for votes like it's Black Friday at a discount bigotry store.
One Nation wins votes by saying stuff you’d lose friends over; Labor fights for those votes like they’re trying to save Monopoly money.
