"Over recent weeks, Pauline Hanson made headlines for her comments on domestic
violence. She declared domestic violence is “a two-way street”.
Media outlets then unearthed a 2025 podcast episode in which Hanson called paid
domestic and family violence leave a “holiday”, and alleged domestic violence
diverts police attention away from “real crime”.
While Hanson says her comments were taken out of context, her stance on
domestic violence is not new.
In fact, as I chart in a forthcoming piece in
Australian Historical Studies,
her identification with male grievance has been core to her politics since day
one. She’s been dubbed “queen of the Australian men’s rights movement”.
Yet this aspect has been largely overlooked by journalists and scholars alike,
overshadowed by her attitudes toward racial diversity and immigration."
