Young Aussie’s foul-mouthed spray on live TV sparks praise: ‘Has the guts to say what we’re all thinking’

A first-time voter has unleashed on the major parties in an expletive-laden spray on live TV. 

The young man appeared on Sky News at a polling station where he was asked who he cast his first ballot for on Saturday.

Without wasting any breath he said he had voted for One Nation candidate John Manton in the electorate of Bradfield, on Sydney‘s North Shore.

When asked why he had chosen to vote for Mr Manton, the young man did not mince his words.

‘That’s probably the best party because I’m sick of Albanese and Dutton,’ he said.

‘Well, Dutton’s better, but Albanese is just a f***wit.’

One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson later retweeted the clip and used it as a rallying cry for her party’s supporters. 

‘One Nation: We’ve got the guts to say what you’re thinking,’ she wrote.

The young voter said only Pauline Hanson’s party could be trusted and not the major parties 

The man’s father who was also interviewed said he cast a vote for independent candidate Nicolette Boele.  

Although the dad was less vulgar in his justification he agreed with his son that Australia needs change.  

‘[We] need a change. [We] need to make these guys start to listen to the people of Australia and do what we need,’ he said.

‘It’s just too, too boring. They’re just always the same, all the time.’

A final Newspoll before the election revealed that the major parties combined primary vote had fallen to a record low in the lead-up to the latest Federal Election.

Both Albanese and Dutton’s support had declined in the last week of campaigning.

Labor’s primary vote ended up being 33 per cent and the Coalition’s edged out on top with just 34 per cent.

This means the major parties are likely to receive a 67 per cent vote share which is a 1.3 per cent decline since the 2022 election which itself set the record for the lowest enthusiasm for the two parties at the time.

The voter said Liberals leader Peter Dutton is only slightly better than the Prime Minister

Senator Hanson, who faced an unexpected challenge from the Legalise Cannabis party at the last election, said her party is surging in the runup to the 2025 election.

Her daughter, Lee Hanson, has used this surge to challenge long-standing Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie’s seat in parliament.

Polls in South Australia have also shown the party has picked up support in the regional seat of Spence.

Ms Hanson’s daughter said although her mother is divisive she still represents the best values of Australia. 

‘My mother is polarising. I’m not my mother. I’m very different,’ she said in April.

‘But I appreciate she’s taught me the values of honesty, integrity, to stand up and give a voice to those who don’t feel they have a voice.’
