Pre-polling vibes — getting to know the candidates.

Huge support for One Nation out here. The people want change. They have had enough of not being respected or listened to.

This electorate is working class: the small businesses, the hands-on people who do the work in Australia. They are angry, and One Nation is offering a hope.

That hope is driving an interest in politics again, and inspiring people to get active.

I heard it a few times: One Nation are not perfect, but they are shaking things up. Nobody out here would disagree with that.
