Well, I think, again, risk versus reward in our research to date.
We have found that her relationship between her and Reinhardt isn't costing her votes.
And when you prompt them, most people hadn't heard about the gift donation over the plane.
But when you prompt them with that piece of information, they actually sort of say, well, it's great.
It's great that an outsider is getting the sort of baubles and rewards that insiders get, you know.
But I think with all these things, there is a threshold where suddenly she starts looking like an insider and not an outsider.
And so she needs to be very careful of that, I would think.
That has been a response in focus groups that we've done of One Nation voters in North Queensland and they did go to that proposition.
It's not costing taxpayers, so what do we care?
Right.
But as I said, I think there will be a threshold where suddenly they will care.
One person in the focus group said...
she might start becoming like a puppet with Gina Reinhart being the puppeteer.
Now, that wasn't what I'd call a latent response from the majority of One Nation voters in the focus group, but it shows an emerging or developing sentiment, which I think if dialed up and repeated might be the sort of thing where she starts losing some vote share.
But I think...
One of the great mistakes a lot of the political and media class are making at the moment is just presuming that the orthodoxies of politics still apply.
And they really don't anymore.
And they especially don't apply to One Nation because there's a lot of things which are holding up her vote, which aren't related to her ideas or her offerings to the electorate.
It's the grievance politics.
And those sentiments aren't going away anytime soon.
