One Nation will tell you Pauline Hanson is the only one fighting for them. “Australians first.” The whole MAGA-pitch. Here's who she's spent her life fighting against:
• Aboriginal ppl— opposed Native Title and Welcome to Country; wants to abolish the National Indigenous Australians Agency to “save” $12.5B; her 2020 “Close the Gap” speech called Aboriginal parents lazy & negligent
- Nurses & aged care workers — $20,000–$34,000 worse off under Hanson. Called nurses overpaid
. Immigrants & refugees — wants to deport 75,000 “illegal migrants,” withdraw from the UN Refugee Convention, cut immigration to a 130,000 visa cap, with no economic modelling on the cost to Aust,
• Public schools — voted almost always against incr funding for public schools, incl cuts that stripped support from students with disability
• Teachers — pushed a narrative schools have “poor academic standards” & a lot of teachers can’t read & write properly.
• Students with disability — said they don't belong in mainstream classrooms because they're “disruptive”
• Welfare recipients— supported mandatory drug testing for recipients, & when a senator opposed it, publicly used that senator's son's drug addiction against her
• Welfare recipients broadly — $90B spending-cut plan targets the NDIS, Medicare & welfare payments, with no independently costed detail on how or any alternative method to support these vulnerable groups,
• Disabled Australians— wants to scrap wheelchair-access requirements for new homes
- Trans Australians — called it a “militant force” & “subversive transgender insurgency” that “must be dismantled; said trans “propaganda” was being imposed on children in schools. Trans Australians make up 1% of the pop’n.
• Childcare workers —questioned why they need qualifications, asking why centres need “people with some sort of degree to look after a child”
• Families /childcare access — voted consistently against incr childcare support, called the system “completely out of control”
• Asian-Australians — infamous 1996 maiden speech claiming we are being, “swamped by Asians”
• Muslim Australians — Senate burqa stunt got her suspended by Parliament, called for a Muslim immigration ban, said in 2026 there are no “good” Muslims
• African-Australian communities — pushed an “African gang” rhetoric against the actual data
• LGBTQ+ Australians — opposed marriage equality
• Domestic violence victims — repeatedly claimed women lie about abuse to win family court cases
• Women's reproductive rights — pushes to roll back abortion access nationally
• Women's pay / parental leave — dismissed the gender pay gap & said women shouldn't be paid on parental leave because “they're not at work”
- pledged to sack the Sex Discrimination Commissioner and Human Rights Commission
• Rape victims — kept convicted rapist Sean Black on staff for years & defended it
• Working Australians — opposed the minimum wage rise & tax break for low-paid workers, while taking a $100k pay rise
• Casual workers; voted no to same job, same pay
• Coal miners: a deal with the LNP cost mineworkers $16M in entitlements
• Pensioners;opposed pension increases
• Renters / home buyers; voted almost always against incr housing affordability
• Journalists — banned the ABC, voted consistently to cut ABC/SBS funding, called a reporter “trashy”
- Australians who rely on global health & scientific cooperation —wants to withdraw Australia from the WHO & the UN, abolished the TGA in her spending plan, rejects the IPCC’s climate science consensus, and wants to scrap net zero and the Department of Climate Change
So; yes, Hanson is “Australia first” — as long as you're not:
Aboriginal,
a nurse,
an aged care worker,
a public school student,
a teacher,
disabled,
rely on welfare,
in childcare,
Asian,
Muslim,
African,
gay,
transgender,
a survivor of abuse,
a woman,
a worker,
a pensioner, a
renter,
a journalist, or
someone who trusts science
So who, exactly, is she fighting for?
@blowingtom2@SickofitSally Dave: If you’re looking for Sympathy, try the dictionary, between Simpleton & Systemic, then between Swipe & Syphillis, then between Sycophant & Synonym.
This grifting old hag wants Australians to keep working into their 70’s and 80’s until they drop and not claim Age Pension.
Meanwhile Poorleen is on a salary of $350k pa and rarely turns up to work.
That’s all you need to know about this vile parasite. 🤮

Sarah Hanson-Young says it beggars belief that One Nation, who say they stand for Australia, “are running their political campaign from offshore” using digital bot factories in “Indonesia, Vietnam & India”
Calls for ON to to be investigated,
“This is foreign interference”💥💯
“20,000 Palestinian children killed in Gaza “.. from the inquiry released today.
Thank you Ed Husic …
😭😭😭
Israel is the real terrorist state !!!
Stop wrapping that Israel flag Pauline Hanson, or piss off there then !!!😡
#afternoonbriefing
A UN commission has found that Israel is committing genocide through a "deliberate strategy to destroy the future of the Palestinians in Gaza by targeting their children".
The truth always comes out in the end — and we must never, ever let it be forgotten.
It’s cost $2.4 billion all up to compensate the Robodebt victims. Those still alive, that is. An outrage. Yet those incompetent thugs Morrison, Robert and Tudge escape scot-free. And their successors have the gall to lecture us on responsible government. https://t.co/B95sKE1sC3
The media has not bothered to thoroughly fact check Hansons National Press Club address so I’ve done it for them. 18 false and / or misleading statements. John Paul Janke was the journalist who pushed back on her claims and Sarah Martin questioned her about her daughters position as campaign advisor (rightly so) and was called a “trashy journalist” by Hanson and told she would be banned from future pressers. Nothing else was challenged by the so called journalists in attendance and she continues to be unchallenged on the facts in every interview she sits.
@colonelhogans With all the misogynistic grubby redneck commentary anyone would think Ms Higgins was raped in a labor ministers office by a Labor staffer🤷♂️
People need reminding that the #lnp is home to anal rapists, chair sniffers, desk wankers, up skirters, sugar daddies prayer room pimps etc
@Peter_Fitz Here is E. Jean Carroll's testimony against the felon (voiced by actors). Every woman knows this rings true beyond a shadow of a doubt. Trump is a rapist.

@Peter_Fitz@MikeCarlton01 Anyone who thinks “diggers” died for the likes and views of Pauline Hanson is delusional. It saddens me that as a nation we appear to be becoming so intolerant that we would be prepared to vote for a party lead by not only a racist but an idiot with no policy other than hate!
