IMO, this video feels like a recount of politician events rather than answering their title question, or analysing the rest of the situation. And I point that out because the title question really is an important question to answer if we want to counter the rise of One Nation’s populism.
For example: voter demographics are completely ignored, apart from vague mentions of “Jewish people”, who appear to be less than half a percent of our population, and therefore not a primary reason for ON gaining this much ground. Different media outlets and their framing of politicians is ignored.
An aging population always becomes more conservative. They are easily frightened and don’t like change.
This is a natural tendency in humans that authoritarians exploit.
Bless the Millennial generation who seem to be bucking this trend.
I used to think the internet brought a shift towards progressivism for all generations adapted to it, but now I think it was likely an aberration for millennials - when our internet was controlled and crafted essentially only by those smart enough to navigate it. Then when the internet became 3-4 apps, conservativism as consensus became the norm again.
Hopefully we’re a big enough cohort like the boomers were, that we can set a progressive political standard for a few decades.
Haven’t had the chance to watch it yet, but from the title my answer would be…they aren’t. The Coalition is collapsing, and One Nation is benefitting from that. But the right/left vote is not shifting that much.
But the right/left vote is not shifting that much.
I haven’t looked deep into it, but the polling for two-party preferred vote (which should approximate left-right) has been shifting. The Wikipedia summary chart of ALP:LNP has pretty consistently shifted from around 58 : 42 last June, to around 53 : 47 - a large shift. If we naively extrapolate the trend, the two-party preferred vote would be tied in around three or four months.
my understanding is that both labour and liberal (and greens members wow?) are leaving for ON:
Primary votes were 32% Labor (down four), 22% One Nation (up seven), 21% Coalition (down three), 12% Greens (down one) and 13% for all Others (up one).
I think part of it is just utter bewilderment that we had 10 years of liberal party rule and in two terms they’ve imploded so hard one nation ffs is taking votes left and right
The scariest prospect is that if Labor/Albo continue to skirt around certain issues we may have our own version of the UK’s reform battling for serious numbers at the next few elections :|
I often wonder if Albo did well because of how he captained, because people wanted change or that scomo and the the liberals were just so bad. Either way the average man has gotton much of the same, higher costs and less ability to have a steady future. I appreciate that he made an effort with recognising first nations it is a issue that needs to be tackled but its probs behind 10 other bigger issues.
Until the pollies stand up to coal, houseprices, china…or the money its only gonna get worse, and really, Aus has seen this happen all over the western world and had a good 5 year hindsight.I feel like there is time to turn it around for Aus but there does not seem a politician likely to step up, serve the people and give the tough talks that most need to hear.
‘She’ll be alright’ has changed from a positive call to an excuse to ignore problems and refute progress.
I think there could be that is noticeable in some circles and environment. Dismissing it its a non issue allows this to grow. Is there a growth? given the amount of groups popping up and being blatant about it, i would argue yes, And TBH i have seen it at grassroot level, most people dismiss it, some call it out, and…some listen.
Aus pretends it does not have a racism problem, but it does, the superiority complex and everyone’s keenness to make $ overrides the surface camaraderie and generosity of the Aussies…unfortunately
The divide is also fuelled by a gov after gov of not dealing with social problems. There are opportunities in Aus but it still favours the rich and the old too much. Land of the landlords and the worship of coal is enough to disillusion many. I know this will sound like whataboutism but the truth is people will jump on these things as an excuse and use to draw others in.
Who is “nebula.tv”? The far right are keen to boost the idea of One Nation as an inevitable surge, and I’m wondering if this is part of that.
Nebula is a creator owned youtube alternative. The video was uploaded by TLDR News Global, so the question should be who are they.
Who is “nebula.tv”?
Nebula is an independent creator-owned streaming service. Think of it like a cross between Patreon, YouTube, and Netflix.
Patreon, in that you get some exclusive or early-access content, but largely it’s about ad-free versions of what’s available on YouTube already.
YouTube in that it’s a large number of small-time creators, and the vast majority of the creators on Nebula got invited to the platform because of their success on YouTube.
And Netflix because unlike Patreon, it’s a single subscription to gain access to the whole library, not a per-creator fee. It’s also relatively exclusive and only available to creators who are selectively invited to join.
The full library can be browsed without an account, so you can use that to decide if you like what’s on offer. They’ve got news programmes, media reviews & criticism, urbanism, science and sport discussion, cultural commentary, and more. Oh, and game shows. But as a general rule, it’s all extremely high quality stuff, and most of it is either left leaning or attempts to present a neutral point of view (as TLDR does).

it’s basically an alternative to youtube that gives more money to creators, it is left leaning
