As an Australian that seems to be a depsessibgky high approval rating but then our most odious billionaire is MAGA and a big fan of the ONP so … no surprises I guess, just more bad news.

As a Canadian living in Australia, I am satisfied with Canada, minus Alberta. As for Australia, I am afraid of what might become reality at the next election.

This applies to way too many countries these days …
I’m reasonably sanguine, compulsory voting counts for a lot and Pauline is extremely prone to foot cannoning, see her recent Press Club speech for examples.
There is a large corporate interest backing Pauline.
All her smartarse comments scripted by “CongaLine of Suckholes” Latham are getting press coverage and all the incredibly stupid comments she is ejaculating are being swept under the carpet.
Yeah, the 2PP (Coalition/ON - doesn’t matter which) still gives the ALP a massive majority.
Hang on. If the Coalition and ON send their preferences to each other, won’t they beat Labor?
The polls I’ve seen lately show Labor in the 30s%, and Coalition and ON around 20% each, which if you add them together =40%
Careful there. All over the world people have been disregarding populist candidates like Pauline.
You’re right that shes imploded a couple of times in the past, but shes learned a thing or 2, she has some wealthy and powerful supporters, and things are different in 2026.
I actually though her press club performance would’ve been a roaring success from her perspective. As with Trump, she just can’t have negative exposure.
While I doubt she will ever be PM, shes going to wield some power in the Australian political landscape in the coming years.

Not wrong, but all over the world does not have compulsory voting (AU and Belgium only I think). For all we have some vociferous reactionary racist gobshites, it’s a small minority and we have a lot less of an apathy failure to vote problem to balance it. Add to that a high proportion of immigrants, a solidly left leaning younger demographic and Trump’s example and I don’t see much traction, no matter how much Murdoch media beats it’s drum. At worst they’ll become a very junior coalition member, which will likely do more harm than good to the right wing in the long run.
One nation are polling higher than the major parties and she is rating highest as preferred prime minister. I expect it to be like reform, where they get more seats than they have ever had, but still not much. However, what’s shocking is how quickly they got that support, despite all their policies being anti their supporters. Except when you add racism. We have lots more racists than you think. America found that out the hard way. We’re on track for similar.
Being from the us, i don’t see us very favourably either.
I’m amazed how high Vietnam is.
Vietnamese people are more sanguine about the war. They believe that it was a disagreement and it turned violent and it is over. No different to how Germany France and Britain are now all allies. The timeline for the Vietnam war is no different to those countries in the 90s.
My theory on Vietnam, Philippines, and India is that they think of the US as a favourable migration destination, and probably have relatives or contacts living there.
Also their political class is worse than Trump.
Pretty weird, they should hate us so much. Maybe we’ve been nice to them to make up for being silly gooses. I don’t remember hearing about that in social studies though.
Wild that Mexico has a (barely) favorable opinion in this poll.
