New Delhi, December 3 (Daily Kiran) – Australia’s Pauline Hanson and her One Nation party have suddenly come back into the spotlight. Those who follow Australian politics even briefly know that Hanson often makes sharp statements on immigration issues. But this time, she’s making headlines not just for her rhetoric, but for her growing political strength. There was considerable uproar when she entered parliament wearing a burqa on November 24.
Recently, a survey agency called ‘Roy Morgan’ conducted a poll across Australia asking people which party they prefer. The survey spoke to 5,248 people. The results were surprising—One Nation received 14 percent support. This is being considered the highest support for her party in approximately 25-27 years.
Why has Hanson’s support suddenly increased? There are many reasons for this. Currently, Australia is experiencing rising inflation, high rents and property prices, living and food costs are weighing heavily on people, and on top of that, continuously increasing immigration is also troubling many people. Australian.com.au informed everyone on Wednesday about Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Michele Bullock’s concerns and also warned that there’s a possibility that interest rates could increase for Australians due to rising fiscal deficit.
Common people are worried about their future, and One Nation is attracting voters’ attention by raising such issues.
A few days ago, Hanson had entered parliament wearing a burqa. She said she wanted to raise the issue of banning face-covering clothing in the country. There was considerable uproar in parliament over this incident and she was also suspended for a few days. While this step was controversial, it had the opposite effect. The number of her supporters appears to be increasing further.
Experts believe that One Nation is benefiting from the weakening of major parties and the increasing economic burden on people. If this trend continues in the upcoming elections, One Nation could become a major force in the upper house of parliament, the Senate, and could pressure policies.
