While Hanson framed her outreach as offering voters alternatives beyond the major parties, Wilson cautioned that preference deals usually unfold closer to election time, once policies and candidates are clearer. The fundraiser drew demonstrators and a controversial attendee with a history of public disorder, prompting police intervention. Wilson firmly rejected any association with extremist views, defending the right to protest while insisting on peaceful conduct around political events. As Victoria’s election clock ticks, alliances remain fluid—and Hanson’s next move could reshape the landscape. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
