THE ORANGE TSUNAMI: Rightwing One Nation Party Wins Parliament Seat in Western Australia – Surging Anti-Globalists Defeat PM Albanese’s Ruling Labour Party
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 8/30/26 | Paul Serran

One nation continues to surge, to the dismay of PM Anthony Albanese Globalist forces.

The Australian populists and anti-Globalists from the One Nation party are experiencing pretty much the same as similar political forces in Europe: to begin with, they are smeared by the whole of the MSM as ‘far-right’ – and besides, they are surging, having become the most popular party in the country.

Today, the One Nation party has turned its high poll numbers into an electoral victory, securing its first lower-house seat in the state parliament of Western Australia.

Reuters reported:

“Gym owner Luke Herdegen scored One Nation’s first lower house seat in the Western Australia parliament, an official tally showed on Sunday, taking a seat in the state ​capital Perth that had been held by Labor for decades.

Anything not purely Marxist/Leninist is “far right.”

One seat. It will probably have the effect of the left making sure they don’t win enough to get control. They will do this by any means necessary.

The swamp will nullify any “right wing” victories. I lived I Germany when a “right winger” won a local election. Merkel didn’t like it so she declared the election null and void and called another “election” to get one of her allies installed.

Keep your powder dry. We are heading to a civilizational battle that will make wweleven look like child’s play.

...back from the brink.

Aint that the truth. Remember during covid they were locked in motels confined to their rooms for months and reports came out that some were literally going crazy from solitary confinement? Australian actor Paul Hogan lived in Beverly Hills and he flat refused to go back home to Oz because of the covid hysteria. I hear that you get arrested for speaking out against the gov't too.

One winner in a local election is not a tsunami.

It is hopeful. I want to see more of the same. It is a long way from power to make changes.

Is Western Australia the equivalent of our Texas? I’ve read more than a few times that things Down Under aren’t going well...at least partially because of immigrants.
