Haven't had the chance to watch it yet, but from the title my answer would be…they aren't. The Coalition is collapsing, and One Nation is benefitting from that. But the right/left vote is not shifting that much.

IMO, this video feels like a recount of politician events rather than answering their title question, or analysing the rest of the situation. And I point that out because the title question really is an important question to answer if we want to counter the rise of One Nation's populism.
For example: voter demographics are completely ignored, apart from vague mentions of "Jewish people", who appear to be less than half a percent of our population, and therefore not a primary reason for ON gaining this much ground. Different media outlets and their framing of politicians is ignored.
An aging population always becomes more conservative. They are easily frightened and don't like change.
This is a natural tendency in humans that authoritarians exploit.
Bless the Millennial generation who seem to be bucking this trend.
I used to think the internet brought a shift towards progressivism for all generations adapted to it, but now I think it was likely an aberration for millennials - when our internet was controlled and crafted essentially only by those smart enough to navigate it. Then when the internet became 3-4 apps, conservativism as consensus became the norm again.
Hopefully we're a big enough cohort like the boomers were, that we can set a progressive political standard for a few decades.
It's not about cohorts, it's about being human. Humans as they age tend to get more frightened and don't like change. Not all humans, but most.
It's one reason I understand the dreadful necessity for death, younger people are more likely to make and adopt change.
You'd think that, but the general age with which people tend to trend conservative is currently met by millennials, and they're not turning conservative - if anything they're becoming slightly more left wing.
And I shun your necessity of death. Crispr will enable me to see 1 billion years (I hope god I hope I hope)
now I think it was likely an aberration for millennials
I don't think it was the 3-4 apps, left wing progressives continued to one up themselves to the point they became annoying af, it's like many of them have that autistic need to virtue signal to show they are better than everyone else, more caring, more inclusive, etcetc, until the point it got ridiculous
yeah. fucking millennials always trying to be more caring. Bastards. Totally ridiculous.
boomers were the hippies
the greatest generation brought in the civil rights act
wow did you just say the b word??? do you not know the historical exclusionary societal effects of that word!!! you fkin nazi 😡 - millennials being caring
And being a hate filled conservative isn't annoying?
conservatism is not about hate, it's about remembering one's youth and wanting life to be the same as then, it's about not wanting change
but that is the core definition, not the partisan and media definition
as I wrote, authoritarians take advantage of the natural tendencies in older humans to be frightened and not want change
Who is “nebula.tv”? The far right are keen to boost the idea of One Nation as an inevitable surge, and I’m wondering if this is part of that.
Who is “nebula.tv”?
Nebula is an independent creator-owned streaming service. Think of it like a cross between Patreon, YouTube, and Netflix.
Patreon, in that you get some exclusive or early-access content, but largely it's about ad-free versions of what's available on YouTube already.
YouTube in that it's a large number of small-time creators, and the vast majority of the creators on Nebula got invited to the platform because of their success on YouTube.
And Netflix because unlike Patreon, it's a single subscription to gain access to the whole library, not a per-creator fee. It's also relatively exclusive and only available to creators who are selectively invited to join.
The full library can be browsed without an account, so you can use that to decide if you like what's on offer. They've got news programmes, media reviews & criticism, urbanism, science and sport discussion, cultural commentary, and more. Oh, and game shows. But as a general rule, it's all extremely high quality stuff, and most of it is either left leaning or attempts to present a neutral point of view (as TLDR does).

Nebula is a creator owned youtube alternative. The video was uploaded by TLDR News Global, so the question should be who are they.
it's basically an alternative to youtube that gives more money to creators, it is left leaning
