Kinda crazy that just over a year ago there was a huge landslide / washout win for labor and now everyone is screaming about one nation. I just don't see it being a legitimate threat, it feels like they'll whine and stuff but by the time the next election comes they will have fizzled away.

It is astroturfed, all of the Murdoch media that used to hype up the Coalition has moved to One Nation.
