Polling Shows Pauline Hanson’s Support Slips Faster Than A Wet Banana Peel
KEY POINTS
- •Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party has suffered a decline in popularity since her controversial Press Club speech.
- •Polling data indicates a shift of support from One Nation towards the Coalition party.
- •At the same time, national leaders attended a State Memorial honoring cancer researcher Richard Scolyer.
In a political twist no one saw coming except everyone paying attention, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation has watched its popularity slide since her legendary Press Club speech—an event probably described somewhere as 'controversial' to keep it vague. The latest poll, presumably conducted sometime after politicians stopped casting suspenseful side-eyes, shows voters switching their cheers over to the Coalition, that political team famous for quietly hoarding support whenever drama unfolds. Meanwhile, a prime minister and a governor general took a solemn moment paying tribute to a cancer researcher named Richard Scolyer at a State Memorial, a respectful nod lost to political turmoil. In case you missed it, The Guardian kindly offered a breaking news email, free app, and a daily news podcast to keep you distracted from the spectacle.
