Looking at news sites a person could think One Nation won the SA election
except Labor won by a landslide, ON just increased their small vote , which was probably more a lost Liberal vote than a ON vote
the bias of reporting is just incredible 😧
They were never going to form government, but One Nation has been very successful for a minor party. It’s gonna make the news. They didn’t win any seats, but they got 20% of the primary vote. That’s huge. More than the liberals got. It’s upended election norms. This isn’t going to go away quietly. Lots of far right wing sentiment out there, and it’s growing.
