One Nation and Pauline Hanson are on the rise

On Sunday during the Anzac weekend, Pauline Hanson spoke at a pro-Australia rally in Canberra and stated what many people are thinking:

‘My job as a Member of Parliament is not for Palestine, not for Gaza, not for Israel, not for Britain,’ she said. ‘Clean up our own backyard first and foremost.’

It appears this Member of Parliament is sick of Australia selling its interests out to foreign causes, and to the detriment of the humble, working Australian taxpayer.

Recent Auspoll results have indicated One Nation is on par with the Labor Party in terms of federal voting intention, polling at 27 per cent. These results predict Labor will lose seats while One Nation will gain them. The party appears to be polling better than the Liberal National Coalition as well, which sit on a measly 20 per cent.

The data, as well as a general read of the room, indicates that One Nation is gaining remarkable popularity. This is, at least in part, likely due to the ever-increasing cost of living crisis gifted by the two major parties. There is also mass migration to consider, and a reality where ISIS brides and those with dubious security vetting are being let into the country without the consensus of the general public.


With ongoing Middle Eastern conflict and global tensions on the rise, Aussies are starting to realise that the major parties have left the nation with shockingly limited fuel reserves and a disaster masquerading as energy policy.

In fact, one of our two oil refineries recently went up in flames over a reported equipment failure.

Citizens are wondering when their tax dollars will start to fund priority resources instead of being divvied up for numerous Social Cohesion programs that appear to do little to avert cultural tensions and, in some cases, violence. Promises made over a number of years have simply not been delivered, and taxpayers are beginning to earnestly seek alternative leadership before the whole country goes up in a mushroom cloud.

One Nation presents that alternative. It is full of down-to-earth, hardworking, and refreshingly normal candidates who, for a change, appear to represent Australians fairly accurately – probably because several of One Nation’s politicians are not career pollies, but have lived in the system the way most Aussies have – they have endured the system and its flaws from a position of experience, rather than mere theory and delusion.

Not only do politicians like Hanson understand the system from a practical point of view, but they fully appreciate the democratic freedoms needed to ensure the system functions efficiently, and for the citizen first and foremost, and not to unelected bureaucrats or foreigners.

This is why Hanson has taken a stand against the prohibitions on free speech, spearheaded by the two major parties. Australians have been noticing steady and incremental censorship tactics beginning to creep into society through a series of sinister bills targeting political communication, free expression, and speech. First there was the Misinformation and Disinformation bill, then there was a federal Hate Crimes bill. On top of all that, there was a Trojan horse piece of legislation framed as an Act attempting to combat antisemitism…

It is my view that the Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism (Criminal and Migration Laws) Bill 2026 sought to squash political communication rights which had arguably already been made illegal due to the previous hate speech laws that were passed by the federal government. That was apparently not enough for the two major parties.

On top of all this, individual states have also attempted to pass localised bills that seek to deter communication, especially online, such as Western Australia’s Post and Boast bill which seeks to amend the state’s Criminal Code to further penalise free speech rights. It is my opinion that the government is aiming to squash crime by squashing speech, while concomitantly relaxing laws that deter crime properly…

The country is fed up – and with fuel prices skyrocketing, people are no longer afraid to tolerate more stupidity from our ‘representatives’. The stupidity should have ended in the last election. Sadly it didn’t, and now fuel has become an endangered good.

Speech is being shut down, crime is going up, oil is running dry, the country is in flames, and it is exactly why hundreds of people turned up on Sunday in Canberra to hear Pauline Hanson once again, put Australia first.
