Yes, fantastic outcome.
AND in WA, the home of the Labor follower.

Minns is feeling very lonely right now,
Yesterday I heard on a Sky news report that he had been convinced by some backroom Federal Labor advisors (or should that be "backdoor" advisors)
immediately after Bondi that this will be his "John Howard moment" in immortality by cracking down on guns.
Instead of his own public servants' failures using the ones already there, to quickly defect from the clusterf*ck he's stood over.

But no, now he just looks like a f*ckwit, a knee-jerking failure who, just like the parasite Albanese, cannot admit his own pointlessness. All alone in over-reacting whilst the other states let him stew in a pot full of Albo's sausage juice.

Here's why One Nation are getting noticed.
This is the best press conference I've heard yet, it was after the Dubbo primary producers summit where that pig Albanese was jeered a few times on stage still dribbling semen out the side of his mouth.

Was the safe seat of 'get another hobby" Papalia. The person who single handedly set the low bar for firearm owners in WA, hoping it would propagate to the rest of Australia.

There's hope yet to vote these oxygen thieves out.

The biggest issue is how stupid and how arrogant these pretend leaders are.

Papala thought he was going to get the top job.
Minns completely failed to read the room.
Everyone has woken up to Albo.

ON's voice is growing very loud in the regions cause they've been getting ignored and shat on by the slimy politicians . that voice is getting louder , too loud for city based sheeple and the MSM to ignore . it's also what they're saying , calling out rotten green deals that are deindustrialising our country and bleeding the taxpayer dry . i don't believe ON's support has peaked yet , it's still growing as their voice is starting to penetrate the propaganda and be heard in the suburbs

The real problem is Canavan, Hastie, Taylor and Hume... those self-important elites just cannot, and will not, accept that they have had their day so much so that instead of seeing Australia throw these Labor doughnut punchers out, they seek to destroy One Nation out of sheer jealousy.
And continuously belittle it for being so popular - and in doing so, belittle US.

They do not give a flying f**k about Australia or Australians and trying to destroy a political party making them look like the losers and traitors that they are - and they will still be paid by the taxpayers' blood-tax money to sit in perpetual opposition sniping at the sidelines whilst we suffer.

hastie is definitely the worst out of that bunch, comes across as a nasty spiteful pr!ck to me , i think taylor is actually a sharp operator who could be a great leader . canavan has been a strong ruthless debater and fighter against liebour , but his sniping at ON really sh!ts me . we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out . i think barnaby is growing as a good speaker and leader . i met him in tenterfield years ago , seemed like a nice bloke :thumbsup:

The more they criticise and ridicule ON, the more resilient ON become. The old school politician is going the way of the dodo, via their own volition.

i was at that bush summit and it was hard to sit idle and listen to Albo and his bulls**t,
He was jeered a lot and he was rather uncomfortable and well out of his comfort zone.
Likewise i was at the One Nation, shooting, firearms experts function at the RSL in Dubbo a few weeks ago, Shooters Union members, Oceania precision, Barnaby Joyne, Steve Lee all spoke and spoke very well, it was a great turnout. Funnily enough, our wonderful police ministers chair was empty, Yasmin Catley, where were you??
She certainly would of been eaten alive if she wasnt so gutless to as to attend, another clueless grub, this weeks footage of her being destroyed by SSF was just gold.

We'll see what happens but the Vic and NSW one nation state leaders they put up, will do okay for the party if they don't mis spoke or mis step in the leadup to the elections. If the only policy they have is a handbrake on immigration, an end to net zero and repeal the NSW and Federal gun caps its going to resonate with a lot of people.

Basil could read the writing on the wall. The only chance he has at the next election is a coalition with ON in WA. A labor loss offers him that. Hastie is not reading the room .

Some veterans of that era who leased a place up the road from me filled me in on Hastie and the "two camps" in the SAS that run a very competitive race against one another regarding deployments and results. I'll just say camps because that's how they described it.
Hastie is in one camp, BRS is in the other. It has been said to me, allegedly, that Hastie was one of the most vocal troublemakers that kept this pointless competitiveness going, he was always noted as the one keeping it up. BRS was/is one of the quiet achievers, wouldn't participate in the jealousy crap and some of the stuff they talk about him seemingly just casually being able to do seems superhuman to me. And it really upsetted the "look at me" noisier pretenders that do exist apparently.
Allegedly Hastie backed another trooper for a VC at the time but the "points" system that grades them against didn't agree, instead an SG or MG and seemingly he went ape. But there's more to it than that and I won't allege anything further as that's be stupid.
Then, there was the "kill list" that they all were aware of and the reasons why, for murdering Australian troops for example while pretending to be workers or terps for Aussie bases. Only sit-to-p*ss types have a problem with justice like that.
Suffice to say these blokes all can't stand Hastie, and all back BRS, and all think Hastie is in the perfect place for being a backstabber, the Fed Liberals.
