Frustration over migration policy fuels support for One Nation, says research fellow Trisha Jha
Frustration over migration policy is emerging as a key factor behind the rise of One Nation, according to Centre for Independent Studies Research Fellow Trisha Jha.
Jha says many Australians see Pauline Hanson’s party as offering the strongest position on migration, while the gap between support for One Nation’s migration policies and its overall vote suggests a broader dissatisfaction with the major parties.
She argues the trend highlights growing pressure on Australia’s traditional political parties to respond to voter concerns over migration and the cost of population growth.
