Progressive activists in Victoria are being advised to avoid personal attacks on Pauline Hanson and instead focus on economic issues when engaging with One Nation supporters. This strategic shift comes as One Nation has gained public support and achieved recent electoral successes, prompting a rethink in how to approach conversations with potential voters.
The guidance emphasizes respectful dialogue, steering discussions towards economic concerns rather than character attacks. Analysts suggest that addressing voters' economic grievances may be more effective in countering One Nation's appeal, as personal attacks have previously proven ineffective in swaying public opinion.
