I don't think that they're going to be able to maintain this level of support all the way to 2028, right?

So I think that they're hitting their straps at the wrong moment in the political timeline.

In Pauline Hanson's favour, you know, like right now they're raking in the donations, right?

That's going to help them build a really strong war chest for

for, you know, the fight that they're going to have in the future.

But she's pulled out.

I mean, I don't know how much she would have paid on those Fire the Liar trucks.

And then she's parking them out the front of Parliament House and then she's having the blues with the journos.

So it's all very Trump-esque.

but I'm not sure that wind is going to be in her sails at the right moment.

That doesn't mean that like she wouldn't pick up seats at the next election.

I'm sure she could and would and will, or that she won't prove a terrible problem for the Liberals.

But I don't think that she's in a position to form government.

And I don't think there's any poll that suggests that.

And so I think that when people run around going, Pauline Hanson is going to

be the PM.

I think that's rubbish.

I think what would be really fascinating is if, you know, if an election was held right now, she would emerge as the new opposition, right?

And that would be, wow, a big change.

But I think the more accurate reflection of what's really going on in Australian politics right now is it's more closely aligned with the UK.
