As the latest Guardian Essential report starkly illustrates, the party that for decades has been a political punchline with a vaudeville villain is now seen as a viable alternative for more than half of the voting public – including 45% of Labor voters and a third of all Greens.

Now I'm really confused

Yeah, I don't get it either.

This is an extrapolation from asking people's thoughts on one nation. What the poll showed was two thirds of greens and 55% of labor voters under no circumstances would vote for one nation. Media then spun this as 30% of greens and 45% of labor voters support one nation. They did this to spread misinformation, legitimise the far right and get clicks because they are scum

It's worth noting that I'm aus everyone literally votes for every party, they're just ordered.

Thank you for that insight and info. I agree with your sentiments.
