While the coalition kicks one own goal after another, One Nation just keeps sending the ball soaring effortlessly through the goalposts. Fast becoming the real opposition party of the mainstream centre-right, One Nation recently overtook the coalition for the first time ever, in two polls. Both Newspoll and the Guardian’s Essential poll put One Nation in second place.
The party’s stocks are continuing to rise and rise. In a first for Australian politics, One Nation have released a feature-length animated film. A Super Progressive Movie opened – with exquisite timing – on Australia Day, to packed cinemas and rave reviews.
Now, One Nation are topping the music charts – and the left are in meltdown.
A song released by Pauline Hanson and performed by Holly Valance has hit the no 1 spot on the Apple Music iTunes best-selling song charts.
The One Nation leader released Kiss Kiss (XX) My Arse on Australia Day which mocks trans people, “snowflakes” and “woke” culture.
Within hours it had been purchased enough times to soar past the two songs that topped the Triple J Hottest 100 – Olivia Dean’s Man I Need and Keli Holiday’s Dancing2 – into top spot.
The song is performed by former Neighbours star Valance who, according to Ms Hanson, jumped at the chance to release the controversial cover of her own hit.
Cue the legacy media’s desperate efforts to reassert narrative control. ‘But what about streaming,’ they wail. ‘An outdated metric,’ they screech.
And, of course, there’s the classic media dodge of ‘some people say…’
Former pop star and Reform UK supporter Holly Valance has come under criticism after writing a controversial new song for far‑right Australian politician Pauline Hanson’s animated film A Super Progressive Movie. The track, promoted by Hanson as a satire of “woke culture”, has been condemned for mocking trans people, belittling LGBTQ+ identities, and leaning heavily on culture‑war stereotypes.
‘Come under criticism’ from whom? Tellingly, they can’t say. At best, they dredge up a few screeching hissy-fits from social media nobodies, but that’s about it.
The film is so obviously over its target that the left are trying to get it cancelled.
Pauline Hanson has lashed out at “super progressives” after her controversial film of the same name was allegedly cancelled shortly before “sold out” screenings.
It is understood the decision has now been reversed.
A Super Progressive Movie, an M-rated animated satire of “cancel culture” featuring slapstick violence and sex scenes, was due to make its Melbourne debut after an earlier preview screening at Parliament House was banned late last year.
The movie sold out its first screening at Melbourne’s Village Cinemas at Crown casino and a second session was “selling fast”. And that’s with a general admission cost of $99, or $129 with a souvenir ticket.
Even more impressive, the sold-out sessions are entirely by word-of-mouth: Village Cinemas Crown doesn’t have the film listed on their website. As with most non-left events these days, venues have to be concealed in order to try and avoid violent leftist mobs attacking them.
Similarly, sold-out screenings in Canberra and Hobart have yet to publicly announce their venue.
“This country has become so rigidly politically correct and so frightened of giving imaginary offence to imaginary people,” [Senator Hanson] said.
“They’re calling this the most dangerous movie in Australia, when in truth it’s a love letter to Australia.”
The Queensland Senator claimed the film received a standing ovation in Sydney on Tuesday, and that all premiere screenings had been sold out […]
“Cancelling us only reveals your own bigotry and weakness while driving a bigger audience to see A Super Progressive Movie.
“We’ll make sure this won’t stop us showing the film to anyone who wants to see it anywhere in the world.”
The cancellations were reversed soon after the news broke.
“The people of Melbourne will love the movie and I’m so pleased that common sense prevailed,” Senator Hanson told NewsWire.
The media are doing their best to demonise it, of course.
The animated movie follows four “progressives” who are forced to travel beyond the “Naarm Bubble” and are then catapulted into the real world – which in the movie is led by a prime minister Pauline Hanson – to search for “their ideology’s most powerful weapon: the Victimhood”.
Although the trailer of the film seems more concerned with suggesting a white cartoon man is a “victim”.
The film leans on a series of stereotypes of LGBT people, shows Hanson in sunglasses not saying anything and at one point appears to depict Uluru being blown up.
They don’t have to sell it to me.
Interestingly, Hanson is depicted as prime minister in the film. A possibility she is increasingly willing to openly embrace.
“It’s a big ask, and I’m being honest with myself and honest with the people, but it is possible,” she told Sky News.
“If we get the number one vote, and we get majority of the votes, the majority of lower house seats, yes, we can form government.
“I think that we’ll probably get government in the states before, eventually, in the federal parliament.
“But there’s nothing stopping us from being opposition first, then working our way towards government.”
Not so long ago, such talk would have seemed absurd. Now? Not so much, even though it’s a long time ’til the next election.
Update:
Proving she is right over the target, Apple Music have removed the song from their online store, with no explanation. ARIA are also refusing to enter it in official charts, using streaming numbers, as opposed to sales, as justification.
As Morrissey said, “The more you ignore me, the closer I get.”
