Pauline's Protest Vote Party are in tears.
Nine News: "One Nation is tonight threatening to block all government legislation in the [South Australian] Upper House, after being told the party will receive less staff than the Greens" - Video below.
One Nation wins a handful of seats and immediately acts like they own the place, stamping their feet and sobbing like the whingers they’ve always been.
Here’s a bit of advice for the 'Pauline Protest vote cooker party': Slow down. If you block cost-of-living relief, energy rebates, or real benefits for South Australians just because you didn't get extra taxpayer-funded office perks, you will show everyone exactly what you are: self-interested, whinging bubbas who only care about your own needs. Go ahead and block. Show SA who you really are.
If Malinauskas is smart, he will steal your script and use it the next time he's in front of a microphone.
Important note: Attorney-General Kyam Maher disputed that one nation had been short changed, arguing One Nation has been allocated more staff than the Greens. Extra staff are allocated on "a case-by-case basis" to help with "legislative load they face from the government and the opposition".
He said One Nation SA have been given seven extra staff for their seven state MPs while four extra staff were assigned to Greens, the same allocation for the party during its previous term of parliament.
And there you have it. Pauline's Protest Vote Party, prepared to fuck with people's lives, stop extra cost of living, help JUST BECAUSE of a few staff members.
