The results from this election keep getting more and more interesting. Not only has the conservative vote split between the Liberal Party and the minor parties on the right, the dozen or so minor parties on the right have split their portion of the conservative vote amongst themselves.
A crucial dialogue is taking place regarding which politician(s) and which parties should be supported by the conservatives who have felt betrayed by the Liberal Party, in order to present a united way forward. Paul Zanetti has made his views expressly clear regarding Pauline Hanson, and her relation to the movement in Australia which is opposed to the ideology of Islam:
“The big surprise to me was the most alternative conservative party, Australian Liberty Alliance (ALA), didn’t get a Senate seat despite attracting tens of thousands of online and on ground supporters.
“What happened?
“Pauline Hanson happened.
“ALA is a party founded on opposition to Islam and halal certification, calling for a restriction on Islamic immigration. ALA’s roots go back to online forums 13 years ago.
“Six years ago the online group formed the Q Society which became the political party ALA with 20 conservative policies.
“Pauline Hanson jumped on the ALA bandwagon hijacking years of hard work of its founders, then taking the ALA homework to the elections.”
