Assistant treasurer says One Nation’s rise reflects ‘frustration’ of many people
Daniel Mulino, the assistant treasurer, said One Nation’s rise began “well before” the latest federal budget and reflected a “frustration on the part of many people” at the way the system is working for them.
I think it, for me, reflects a frustration on the part of many people at the way the system is working for them and the fact that they’re feeling pressures on a number of fronts: pressures from cost of living, pressures from Increasingly uncertain global economy and political situation.
What I’d say about One Nation is that they are very good at identifying grievances. They’re not very good at solutions. And in fact, Pauline Hanson’s voting record over recent years has often been to the detriment of people seeking pay rises, to the detriment of workers’ rights. And so that’s something which, as that comes to light more, I think people will judge that in due course.
