Rebelling against inequality?

May 31, 2026

Kos Samaras, ever-enlightening on the complexities of public opinion and political change, provides some startling figures: “The top 10 per cent of households hold over half the nation’s wealth. The top 1 per cent hold somewhere between 15 and 20 per cent. The bottom 40 per cent hold essentially nothing, many, on net, hold less than nothing once debts are accounted for”. Voters are rebelling against inequality, and “aligning themselves with the bloc that reflects their economic experience”.

Curiously, One Nation supporters do not object to a leader who is heavily backed by the billionaire elite class in the form of Rinehart and Palmer – all unabashed admirers of Donald Trump.

In America, Trump’s net approval rating is now -21, up 0.3 points since last week. 37 per cent approve, 57 per cent disapprove, 5 per cent are not sure.

Relentless misinformation campaigns from mainstream media continue to cloud the landscape and offer false narratives about ‘fairness’. Note the campaign to fight the recent tax changes which would ever-so-slightly move the dial in favour of a more equitable distribution of wealth. Hanson’s voting record indicates her enthusiasm for reducing tax on high-income earners.

What, exactly, are her policies for genuine redistribution of wealth?
