"For months, voters have been telling anyone who’ll listen that they want
Pauline Hanson.
Pollsters, journalists and the (current) political establishment have all heard
how the major parties are letting down the country and One Nation is the
answer.
On Wednesday, in a wild show at the National Press Club in Canberra, voters got
a good taste of just what Hansonism has to offer.
No longer claiming to be a political outsider, Hanson explained just what One
Nation would do to remake the country. It’s an ugly picture, but one that will
play perfectly with some of the voters who want to burn the political system
down.
Unbridled and unapologetic, she railed against multiculturalism, Islam,
transgender rights, climate change action and public media, insisting her
resurgent party be taken seriously as a contender to win government at the next
election.
Hanson says Australia should be a monocultural society, wants to slash
migration, backs nuclear energy and says the government should double down on
coal and gas.
She wants to shut down SBS and gut the ABC, likens transgender rights to
Islamic extremism, believes paid parental leave should be scaled back or
abolished, and demands workers’ rights be cut to help small business. Some of
Australia’s most important partners, including Britain, Canada, France and
Germany, are “S-holes” because of supposed mass migration and social unrest.
In government, One Nation would cut the climate change and Indigenous affairs
departments, overrule frank and fearless advice from the public service and
apply heavy-handed regulation to AI."
