One grievance above all is fuelling the rise of Hanson
No need to listen to the experts and commentators theorising about the reasons for One Nation’s recent surge. David Farley is qualified to tell us authoritatively. He is the personification of the party’s advance from the fringe to the centre of Australian politics.
He nominates three changes accounting for the party’s success but one imperative – desperation.
“People are operating out of desperation,” he tells me. That’s a strong word. It means despair leading to risk-taking. In this case, despair at the cost of living, leading to risky political choices. It is, he says, for many voters, a struggle for “survival”, another strong word.
One Nation resurgence feels like 'recurring nightmare' for former Qld premier
Former Nationals premier of Queensland Rob Borbidge says alarm bells are ringing within conservative ranks over surging support for One Nation, driven by what he says are "angry" and "fed up" voters.
But with the next federal and Queensland elections not due until 2028, Mr Borbidge says there is still time to prevent what some opinion polls suggest could be an electoral wipe-out for Nationals and Liberals.
"I think conservative politics should be worried across Australia," he told ABC News.
"There's some real danger signs there and we can't take anything for granted."
