So within Australia we are currently seeing what is hopefully a brief resurgence in the popularity of this absolute stain on society.
She recently did an interview on Sky News, the most unhinged mainstream right‑wing media outlet in the country she could have chosen, and openly declared that there is no such thing as a good Muslim. She then spent the next few days doubling down on it. Even the Sky News reporter was visibly taken aback, gave her an opportunity to walk it back, and later repudiated the comments. That is how extreme this was.
At the same time, Queensland has introduced sweeping hate‑speech laws to the point where people can now face criminal liability for publicly using phrases like “from the river to the sea”, depending on how they are interpreted and applied. This is despite the meaning and intent of that phrase being heavily disputed even under the most hostile interpretations. Yet this person can go on national television and declare that members of an entire religion are inherently irredeemable. The double standard is staggering.
She has spent decades in and around publicly funded political office and has never successfully passed her own legislation into law. Throughout that time she has relied almost entirely on grievance politics, deliberately stoking fear and resentment. First it was Asians, then Africans, and now Muslims, each one used in turn to maintain relevance. The social damage this has caused is enormous.
To make matters worse, she presents herself as a defender of the working class, a claim that falls apart the moment you look at her voting record. She has consistently aligned herself with powerful mining interests, including Gina Rinehart, and her party has previously been exposed attempting to solicit funding from people it believed were linked to the NRA in exchange for influencing Australia’s gun laws. That is not principled politics. It is blatant opportunism.
She is not a champion of ordinary Australians. She is a corrosive presence in our political culture who has contributed nothing of substance, and Australia would be better off without her
The far right is on the march. Pauline Hanson's One Nation has recruited tens of thousands of people and raised millions to fund their reactionary, anti-worker and racist campaigns. They're backed by billionaires like Gina Rinehart who rightly see the party as a vehicle for advancing their interests.
Victorian Socialists wants to take on the billionaires and big corporations. We don't get, and never will get, funding from the top end of town. We depend on our members and supporters to get the message out. So donate today (link in bio) and help us take our fight against the far right and the rotten status quo of capitalist politics across Victoria in this year's state election and beyond.
trying to rationalise the one nation win in farrer because it's almost entirely a bleed/shift of liberal voters to one nation. it's a liberal stronghold moving further right... but im so depressed about it especially right after the uk local elections. the centre is dead!
One Nation leader denounces high immigration levels, Islam, transgender rights, the ABC and the Guardian in inflammatory address
Tom McIlroy at The Guardian:
Pauline Hanson has declared Australia cannot be multicultural and must exist as a “monocultural society”, warning high migration had caused the country to lose its identity and national values. In an inflammatory address to the National Press Club in Canberra, the One Nation leader pledged to axe SBS and overhaul the ABC if she wins the next federal election, including imposing a licence fee for metropolitan households to watch the public broadcaster. Regional services would be protected. In her first ever address to the club after 30 years in Australian politics, Hanson said western values were under siege, and governments were too “frightened” to crack down on Islamic extremism, including hate preachers in Sydney mosques. “We turn a blind eye,” she said. “Why? Because we are frightened.” Calling for a slashing of migration to help address the housing crisis, the Queensland senator sought to claim the mantle of a mainstream national leader, better in touch with voters’ concerns than Labor and the Coalition.
“We cannot be a multicultural society,” she told the packed club. “We are a multiracial society, but we must be monocultural. Australians must live under the one cultural umbrella.” Hanson also made a broadside attack on transgender rights, pledging to sack Australia’s sex discrimination commissioner and claiming “almost every instrument of government [is] dedicated to a transgender ideology which seeks to redefine humanity”. The 51-minute speech was interrupted by a banner appearing behind the podium which noted Hanson’s opposition to minimum wage increases for low-paid workers. The banner said: “I opposed a pay rise for workers while I took a $100,000 pay rise for myself.” Staff moved quickly to tear down the banner and Hanson later insisted small business owners were being driven to the wall by tough industrial relations rules.
Asked about abortion policy, Hanson said too many pregnancies were terminated in Australia, calling for the procedure to be banned after 20 weeks. Exemptions would be in place to protect the health of the mother. After raising a claimed $4m in donations targeting the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, for being a “liar”, Hanson said the Labor leader had “lied to become elected”. “The public are sick to the back teeth with these lies.” She attacked a Guardian Australia reporter for asking about her daughter, Lee Hanson, who is employed as a senior adviser to New South Wales One Nation senator Sean Bell, despite living and working in Tasmania.
[...] Hanson accused the media of being complicit in silencing average voters and shutting down debate. She also claimed she was a known quantity and remained outside the political establishment, despite being elected again in 2016. She accused the media of double standards and petty attacks, of missing the party’s re-emergence and its role in speaking for disgruntled voters. “Australians aren’t buying this crap from the political establishment and its media supporters any more,” she said. On transgender rights, she claimed without evidence that schoolchildren were having dangerous ideology “imposed” on them, even likening trans awareness to militant Islam. Asked if Australia was still at risk of being swamped by Muslim migration, as she claimed in 2016, Hanson said: “Not if I have anything to do with it.”
Far-right maniac Pauline Hanson’s agenda is on par with the likes of Nigel Farage, Jordan Bardella, and Donald Trump that should be soundly rejected by Aussies.
HEY! If you care at all about politics, particularly US American politics, you might be interested to know AUSTRALIA IS CURRENTLY COUNTING ITS VOTES FOR OUR NEXT PRIME MINISTER!!
Seriously, this election will likely decide the relationship between the US and Australia as well as Australia's future politics (we literally have a guy running a party called the TRUMPet of patriots, okay??)
