GetUp - Stop One Nation in Farrer (page has the ad video^[YouTube]^ and a description of the campaign)
We’ve just finished producing a new TV ad that could defeat One Nation in Farrer. It’s called Trump’s War, and it showcases the links between Trump and Hanson in light of the recent fuel crisis. Test results from the electorate show that 41.4% of persuadable One Nation voters changed their mind after seeing the ad.
If One Nation wins Farrer, it will be a huge boost to their momentum and could change the political map of this country – and pave the way for Pauline Hanson as PM. But if we stop them in a seat they're leading, in the regions they claim to own – we break their momentum and their story.
Here's what your donation will help fund:
- Keeping our hard-hitting TV ads on air across the electorate exposing One Nation's real record and links to Donald Trump
- Digital ads targeted at the persuadable voters who will decide the race
- Billboards in key locations across the electorate so no one misses our message
news.com.au - GetUp launches $400k Trump-themed anti-Hanson campaign in Farrer
The campaign centres on the populist leader’s affinity for Donald Trump and links her to the rising costs that rural voters are most vulnerable to, including fuel and fertiliser.
The campaign also purportedly seeks to debunk the One Nation leader’s claim of “standing with everyday Australians” by pointing to her voting record on health care, age pensions, child care and corporate tax cuts.
“ … her political support comes from some of the wealthiest and most powerful interests in the country. And her record in power tells a different story,” the campaign website WhoisHanson.com reads.
GetUp aims to spend at least $600,000 on the anti-Hanson campaign by the time the polls close on May 9. The funds so far raised were donated by the organisation’s active membership base, which grew by over 100,000 people last month alone
I just watched the YouTube video and to be honest, it looks like a highly edited and cut up video that has no context.
Without dates and time stamps of when she supported trump, and knowing that Pauline’s been in politics for years and could have said she supports trump in context of damn near anything, I think the video is going to be too easily dismissed as a cherry picked edit rather than presenting facts about what Pauline actually stands for.
Edit: but I think it’s great there is some attempt to stop a ‘one nation’ Australia. Hopefully more to come!
Senator Trump, that is
But I agree, to a degree, that some basic footnotes would strengthen this propaganda. Someone online could simply say "there are no sources!" to inoculate others to it.
