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?
The Sanewashing of Hanson Is at Its Peak.
This is how Trump came to power: platform the lies, skip the follow-up, let the headlines call it “proving her critics wrong.”
We are all watching it happen in real time.
At the National Press Club, Pauline Hanson said the following. Not one claim was challenged by the so called journalists in attendance and she continues to be unchallenged on the facts in every interview she sits.
-1. Unlike the Prime Minister, I welcome scrutiny.” Hypocritical. In the same speech she announced she refuses ABC interviews, will scrap the SBS, & will make the ABC subscription-only. The event allowed 2 hours; standard format gives 25–30 mins for the address. She spoke for 50-halving the time left for questions. When Guardian journalist Sarah Martin used that remaining time to ask about her daughter's $150,000 taxpayer-funded advisor role, Hanson called her “a trashy journalist” and banned her from all future press conferences.
• “Babies are aborted the day before birth.” Fabricated. Late-term abortion is highly restricted, requires medical approval, and occurs only in genuine medical emergencies.
• “Interest rates are heading towards 10%.” False. RBA cash rate: 4.35%. Forecast to fall, not rise.
• “There’s no gender pay gap — just women taking time off.” False. WGEA confirms the gap exists at equal hours, equal roles, regardless of career breaks.
• “$30B a year on Indigenous programs.” False. Only 18% (~$5.6B) is Indigenous-specific. The rest is the Indigenous share of mainstream services every Australian uses.
• Transgender people were compared to “militant Islam.” False and dangerous. ABS data: transgender and gender-diverse Australians make up 1% of the pop’n. There’s no body of research showing transgender ppl commit crime at elevated rates-in fact it shows transgender people are dramatically more likely to be victims of violence— assault, sexual violence, and homicide rates against trans people are well above general population rates in most studies (US, UK, and Aust data all show this pattern)
• “23% of Australians can’t speak English.” False. That 23% speak another language at home — most are bilingual. Limited English proficiency: just 3.2%.
• “The CEFC has had $200 billion.” False by a factor of six. Actual legislated capacity: $33 billion.
• “I care about the homeless and hungry.” Hypocritical. In the same speech, she backed cuts to Indigenous-specific funding — despite Aboriginal homelessness running up to 10 times higher than the non-Indigenous rate.
• $90 billion in cuts, no plan. ~$35 billion of it remains unaccounted for. No modelling.
• “I support worker rights.” False. Voted against minimum wage increases, penalty rates, criminalising wage theft, casual conversion rights, same job same pay, and the right to disconnect. Took a $100,000 pay rise while voting against a tax break for low-paid workers
• Called Australian workers “lazy.” She has attended just 12% of Senate estimates since 2016 & 53% of parliamentary votes. Paid over $200k a year
• Labor have let immigration get out of control.” False. Net overseas migration has fallen every year since the post-COVID peak in 2022-23 — 538,000 → 446,000 → 306,000 in 2024-25. She also recycled a 26-year-old ABS pop’n projection as a fresh “next 50 years” forecast
Said: This beautiful country belongs to all Australians born here and those who have joined us”- in her opening line; then spent the next 50 minutes demanding a monocultural society, comparing transgender Australians to militant Islam, inflating migration and language figures, denying the gender pay gap, and repeating the debunked $30 billion Indigenous funding myth. Welcomed everyone in the first sentence. Spent the rest of the speech defining most of them out — and offered no plan to fix anything she raised, only $90 billion in cuts.
Not one follow-up question. No source data on a single figure in the entire speech. This is what unchallenged looks like.

THESE ARE WAR CRIMES. KILLING CHILDREN ARE WAR CRIMES. KILLING CIVILIANS UNDER A CEASEFIRE ARE WAR CRIMES.
EXPEL THE ISRAELI AMBASSADOR TO AUSTRALIA TODAY. PLEASE RE-TWEET IF YOU AGREE.
@AlboMP@SenatorWong
Hey @AlboMP I think many Australians would like a Royal Commission into the undue but phenomenal influence the Zionist lobby has managed to achieve into the powers that be in Australia. From holding brainwashing conferences for local Gov right through its influence in the duopoly
🎙️ “I ask Jews around the world to reflect on what Netanyahu is doing Not just to Gaza, but to the Jewish people globally.
He is endangering civilians and the future of Judaism.
How can what was done to your ancestors…
be done now, by you, to others?”
– A voice of conscience the world needs to hear.
A Response from the People of Australia
Prime Minister Albanese,
Your statement marking the second anniversary of October 7, 2023, does not speak for the people of Australia. It speaks only for the increasingly narrow interests of a government that has chosen to turn its back on human rights, international law, and the values you claim to represent.
While you profess compassion for victims of violence, your government’s actions—and deliberate inactions—have made it abundantly clear that your empathy is selective. At every opportunity, you have issued statements of unwavering support for the Israeli government, even as that same government has carried out a brutal and sustained campaign of collective punishment in Gaza. You call it conflict. The world sees it for what it is: genocide.
What began as military retaliation has devolved into the systematic annihilation of an entire population—over 100,000 Palestinians killed, most of them women and children. Entire neighbourhoods flattened. Hospitals bombed. Water, electricity, and food supplies cut off. And yet, you have refused to call it by its name. You have not once condemned these war crimes. You have not demanded accountability. Instead, you have hidden behind diplomatic language while Gaza is reduced to rubble.
Even worse, Australia—under your leadership—has played an active role in this destruction. Your government has allowed the export of weapons’ components, including F-35 parts, to Israel. These parts are not sitting idle in storage—they are integrated into warplanes that drop bombs on residential areas, refugee camps, and UN shelters. These planes have killed children in their sleep and mothers clutching their babies. By permitting the export of these components, you have made Australia complicit in war crimes. You have blood on your hands.
And for what? For diplomatic favour? For economic interests? Or is it because of unrelenting pressure from a foreign power that now seems to dictate the foreign policy of a sovereign Australia? Your silence on the massacre in Gaza is not neutrality—it’s collaboration. It’s complicity. And in doing so, you have violated not only moral and ethical responsibilities but the very spirit of our Constitution, which was never meant to be shaped by foreign influence.
The Australian people did not elect you to be a cheerleader for apartheid, nor did we choose you to facilitate the suffering of an entire race. Your repeated failure to speak out against this genocide is not an oversight—it’s a choice. And it’s a choice that will define your legacy.
We remember Prime Minister Gough Whitlam—someone who fiercely protected Australia's independence from foreign manipulation. He stood up for sovereignty, justice, and truth. To imagine how he would react to your government bending to the will of another state, while allowing Australian resources to be used in the slaughter of civilians, is to know that he would be sickened.
Your attempt to frame this moment as one of remembrance and grief for Jewish lives lost—while ignoring, erasing, and silencing Palestinian grief—is an insult to every Australian who believes in justice for all people, not just some. You have divided the nation with your moral cowardice. You have chosen to align with power over principle.
Let us be clear: this is not about antisemitism. This is about human rights. And the Israeli government is not beyond accountability simply because it claims victimhood. We can mourn the victims of October 7 while also demanding justice for the tens of thousands of Palestinians who have been murdered since. Anything less is hypocrisy.
You say it’s our duty to pursue peace. Then act like it. End military exports to Israel. Condemn the war crimes. Demand a permanent ceasefire. And restore some shred of integrity to the office you hold.
Until then, you do not speak for us.
The People of Australia

What I’m about to share will make you sick.
I know there is insatiable evil in this world, but this right here is unfathomable.
On September 3, 2025, Dr. Gideon Polya and Professor Richard Hil calculated the total death toll for Gaza since October 7.
My fingers are shaking as I’m writing this.
Based on all the data collected, the death toll in Gaza is at least 680,000.
But even worse, 380,000 are infants under five years of age, 99,000 children five or older, 63,000 women and 138,000 men.
OH MY GOD!!! PLEASE END THIS SUFFERING!
Take note Tony Burke.
She goes or I as a lifelong Labor voter goes.
Her position is untenable and I certainly didn’t vote for her voice to parliament.

Dear @AlboMP@SenatorWong
Appalled that an Australian Labor Govt supports the USA's illegal bombing of Iran. Your refusal to condemn Israel's ongoing #GazaGenocide is also deeply shameful. You've made Australia complicit in these crimes. 😔 #auspol#USA#Israel#Iran
Here is the interview with Nasser Mashni that @ABCNews removed after pressure from the Z lobby and didn’t want to you to see. Share and promote widely. #AUSPOL F.U. ABC.
I cannnot stop thinking about how Rohan Dennis killed Melissa Hoskins, went to her funeral, got custody of her children, convinced cops to reduce the charges and managed to get a court to give him no jail.
And then I think about all the women who will be killed because other blokes will know they can get away with it.
The system really fucked Melissa today.
Fuck this shit!
Now when I read or hear about an anti-Semitic incident in Australia, I assume it’s a Zionist false flag act and disregard it. So far, that’s been the reality. Now I don’t care. Too many cries of ‘Anti-Semitic Wolf.’ Great work, Zionists.
They say females are the weaker sex, I beg to differ, how many men have been brave enough to stand up to power like this?
Grace Tame, Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde 💪
Let’s get Australia “Back on Track”… to what? 🤡
Lower wages.
Higher interest rates.
LNP Corruption.
Dodgy nuclear.
More tax cuts for the rich.
No Medicare.
No free TAFE.
Cashless debit cards for pensioners.
No social housing developments.
Cuts to health & education.
