ONP opposes the social media reforms exactly as Trump does. ONP is MAGA. Vote for ONP, get MAGA running Australia and get tax payer money funnelled directly into the pockets of Trump family and friends businesses. #auspol $AUSPOL www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

Ossoff: Did you see this business about Don Jr.‘s wedding in the Bahamas? Where he received, apparently, a cash gift from a Russian oligarch connected to the Kremlin? This man, Kremlev, was apparently in China with Putin two days before he flew to the Bahamas for Don Jr.’s wedding…

One Nation is polling around 30%. Who are these voters? Donald Warren’s 1976 “Middle American Radicals” may offer a research question: is the alienated middle more than American? southof45.substack.com/p/the-middle... #auspol #OneNation #PaulineHanson #AustralianPolitics

The Middle American Radicals "Down Under": Donald Warren, One Nation and Australia's Politics of Alienation
