Supporters Applaud the Song’s Humour
Some listeners praised the track for its unapologetic satire.
- “This is a funny song… well done Holly for having a sense of humour,” one user wrote.
- Another said: “Just downloaded it — love it.”

Others criticised Hanson’s approach, questioning whether the stunt would translate into meaningful political support.
“Do other politicians create videos like this? No — because they understand what truly resonates with voters,” blogger Joel Owens wrote.
Inside Pauline Hanson’s Satirical Film
The film’s official description sets the tone clearly.
“When their rainbow malfunctions, four progressives journey beyond the insulated ‘Naarm Bubble’ into a real world led by Prime Minister Pauline Hanson, searching for their ideology’s most powerful weapon: the Victimhood.”
The project stirred controversy even before release, after a planned trailer screening at Parliament House was cancelled due to concerns it could offend viewers.
One Nation’s Polling Surge Raises Political Alarm
The film arrives amid a significant boost in One Nation’s polling numbers.
According to the latest Newspoll for The Australian:
- One Nation recorded 22% primary vote
- The Liberal-National Coalition followed with 21%
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the rise as “a worry,” citing concerns about political division.
“They can appeal to grievance, but they’re a pretty divisive lot,” Albanese said on KIIS FM.
