Introduction

More people in the country areas now vote for the One Nation party. They feel the government does not help them.

Main Body

In the past, country towns had good hospitals, banks, and trains. Now, these services are gone. People in the country feel sad and angry because the government spends money only in big cities. Pauline Hanson and her party tell people that the leaders in the city are not good. Many people watch Sky News and believe this. Now, more people vote for One Nation to show they are unhappy. One Nation wants to win votes in Western Sydney too. But this area is different. Many people there are young or come from other countries. They want good jobs and a better life. They do not like the angry messages of One Nation.

Conclusion

One Nation is popular in the country. But it is not popular in Western Sydney because the people there are different.
