One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson has proven humour can be an 'effective and damaging' media strategy leading into the hotly contested upcoming election campaign, says Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton.
'This election campaign is shaping up to be a heated one with many in the media clearly having picked their winner,' Mr Houghton said.
'And while a personal attack against your political adversary can be an effective tool of war, sometimes humour can be far more deadly.
'One Nation's Pauline Hanson is dominating this space with a series of satirical South Park-style cartoons.'
Mr Houghton said instead of using 'hostile and venomous words,' Ms Hanson has instead delivered proof of how "effective and damaging" humour can be.
Its true tax genral workers cant get ahead because every time tax this more tax thats the answer all you hear and pay and its wrong cant even work a second job because all you do is get 50percent taxed on every thing i get 70cents extra for a payrise it cost more to fill the car up twice a week then stay at home and buy something to cook taxed on any luxery like sokes cigarettes alchol cant aford medication to pay for health issues to see a doctor but instead have to suffer rent is a joke but we will bring in another 900000 people to put where payed my taxes all my life like everyone else wheres our break it seems the more you earn the better of you are this is not Australia anymore its just all about how much the government can charge or take eaither way you put it as long as there filling there pockets up with more money there happy there criminals and to be honest should be held responsible for there actions like the rest of the population that does something wrong it will come sooner or later like a bunch of kids laughing in parliament while all of us suffer seem like a bunch of bullying to be honest

..helping young Australians to get involved in and understanding politics. Well done. Every vote matters, have your say, shape the Australia you want to live in.
@harrisharrod5647 Says:
This next election will be Australia's Last federal election, if the left and their appointed MSM is allowed to fulfil, their take over. They will do to Scomo, what they did to Trump. The last hope and only hope to disrupt the complete takeover of the extreme left is for Pauline Hanson, Clive Palmer, the 1 Australia party and Re ignite democracy and every independent and other minor parties to join forces and do a structured preference swap. If not our assimilation into the Extreme Left collective will be complete and resistance will become futile.

Political satire is nothing new it's just that this is leaning slightly more to the right.
@miffy2760 Says:
God we can’t have humour.. we might offend someone 😱
@jackcrest3989 Says:
Its amazing when intelligent comedy brings the stupidity of the current Australian political club into perspective
@derekforrest6827 Says:
how effective truth is conveyed as humor
@royaldrift3485 Says:
Amazing how these words of humour and strategy keep getting used instead of just admitting how truthful they are. As the old saying goes- the truth hurts.

@brandonspain3483 Says:
I'll definitely be voting 1 nation, I've had a gut full of liberal, Labor, and the greens, and as much as I don't like Clive Palmer he's got my number 2 vote, seriously it's about time we had a complete turnaround.
@hyballs Says:
Interesting! Not the subject matter but the fact that Sky news still employs this blonde headed prick Kenney. Maybe that's part of the reason I rarely watch Sky news.
@Dannyvirk Says:

@jamesphlames7498 Says:
Making it out like Pauline drew the entire thing herself!
When she begrudgingly spent a few minutes in a voice booth before leaving in a huff and shouting at some asians in the street.
@LDU2U Says:
Nothing beats the TRUTH, and those cartoons hit the spot. They are actually educating some people, which is bloody fantastic.
@mickhoward3954 Says:
I will build a green rocket and encourage the greens to ride that green rocket to the green utopia they are ENTITLED to; hope nothing goes wrong 🤪

Take a close look at her parliamentary record not just the spin you fools
@robertbarnier45 Says:
So many people commenting here who should not be allowed to vote
@robertbarnier45 Says:
A vote for Pauline is a vote for Scomo. Sky news knows that. Disgrace
@robertbarnier45 Says:
Typical Sky bullshit. Poor lean is not funny. She’s a disgrace.

THE SYSTEM IS FUCKED!
@jimlight5641 Says:
Go Pauline. We need more like you who aren't afraid to call a spade a spade.
@drainmudvayne27 Says:
when news sites start making fun of people like this it is called bulling so how do they get away with it when we all cant and would get banned or facebook jailed? talk about one sided and this is why you should never believe there bulls**t lies..........
@Min61449 Says:
James Ashby should make a realistic one of Pauline.. you know like in real life where she can barely string a coherent sentence together. She can dish it out but certainly not putting herself up for ridicule.. or perhaps she is by representing herself as an articulate school teacher!
