One Nation is dominating the narrative right now – and it’s not because Pauline Hanson is suddenly more persuasive.

The hoarding of wealth and resources by the few has caused an economic crisis for the many, and the political mainstream are failing to put forward an ambitious solution people can get behind. When we fail to articulate a believable path out of a crisis, or worse stay silent for fear of getting it wrong, a vacuum appears. Enter One Nation who have filled it and, as a result, are dominating the mainstream media with divisive messages targeting people based on their race and gender, pitting communities against each other for political gain.

While the conversation is centred around Pauline Hanson’s sudden ascension to being preferred Prime Minister, social proofing for One Nation continues to climb, we continue to cede ground, and communities of colour and immigrants are rightly feeling abandoned.

Here’s what we know:

People are angry and outraged about the economic crisis, and billionaires have succeeded in scapegoating marginalised communities (including immigrants, trans people, and working class communities). Globally, anti-immigration parties are gaining in traction as a result.

Newer One Nation supporters are generally doing it tough and are looking for a way to protest and challenge the ‘political elite’ (aka major parties – and even civil society organisations), who they feel have failed them. They don’t always support One Nation policies, but are looking for alternatives that aren’t elitist. As a result, attacking Pauline Hanson in fact moves persuadables away from our messages of fairness and justice.

The solutions to improve the lives of everyday people are our solutions – real wage rises, tackling housing inequality, stemming corporate greed, ensuring access to public health and education – yet this is the opposite of the current conversation. Put simply: our messages aren’t cutting through.

We’ve invited Anat Shenker-Osorio to host a snap briefing to share frank advice on how we turn this around. Anat has spent years figuring out how progressive movements break out of this stagnation; build solidarity across race, class and genders; and give people a vision to get excited about. The briefing will include a presentation plus Q&A with Anat.

How do we build a majority for transformative progressive politics?

With support for the old establishment parties crumbling and One Nation on the rise, it’s clear people are fed up with the status quo and want change. But right now it feels like we’re stuck.

Join Max Chandler-Mather, Executive Director of the Green Institute, and Melanie Selwood, Greens MLC for South Australia, to hear the plan on how we can build a movement capable of taking on the corporate and political establishment, and win real change.

We need an economy that works for people, not corporate profit. A government that represents everyone, not just a few corporate and billionaire donors. And, a movement capable of delivering it.

To win that we need to build real, meaningful connections with everyday people.

Come along and hear how you can get involved, and start taking the first big steps towards building the movement.
