Summary
Pauline Hanson’s One Nation is surging, fueled by economic discontent and a $2 million fundraising blitz, forcing Labor into defensive mode. They’re painting Hanson as a slogan-spouting populist who’s secretly aligned with big business, attacking her record on wages and job security. Trade unions are backing the push, arguing she’s always siding with bosses over workers. But insiders question if Labor’s strategy is working — they’re caught in the same system voters are rebelling against, and need to prove they’re delivering real change. Veteran politicians say don’t panic yet: populist surges often fade, and Labor’s focus on governing may still hold the advantage.
