Pauline Hanson's One Nation is a right-wing populist party in Australia characterized by economic nationalism, social conservatism, and opposition to mass immigration. The party’s current platform, led by Pauline Hanson and MP Barnaby Joyce, focuses on protecting Australian sovereignty, reducing government waste, and addressing cost-of-living pressures through immediate relief measures. Immigration and Border Security One Nation advocates for drastically reducing migration to ease pressure on housing and infrastructure. Key proposals include: Capping visas at 130,000 per year across all categories, including foreign students. Deporting illegal migrants and visa holders who break the law. Refusing entry to migrants from nations deemed to foster "extremist ideologies" incompatible with Australian values. Withdrawing from the UN Refugee Convention. Energy and Climate The party rejects climate change action and net-zero targets, labeling them as "economic suicide." Their energy policy prioritizes: Abolishing net-zero legislated targets and withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. Expanding coal and gas production, including building new coal-fired plants and establishing a national domestic gas reserve. Developing nuclear energy as a reliable baseload power source. Banning offshore wind and renewables on agricultural land. Housing and Economy One Nation links housing affordability to immigration and foreign ownership, proposing: A five-year pause on GST for building materials to lower construction costs. A ban on foreign ownership of residential property and agricultural land. Allowing Australians to use superannuation to purchase homes. A $90 billion budget savings plan to eliminate government waste, reform the NDIS, and cut unnecessary departments. Social and Legal Issues The party emphasizes traditional values and individual rights: Free Speech: Enshrining free speech protections in the Constitution and introducing citizen-initiated referenda. Crime: Implementing "truth in sentencing," mandatory imprisonment for violent crime, and stricter penalties for drug traffickers. Health: Rolling back abortion laws to restrict access, particularly in later stages of pregnancy, and increasing funding for regional health services. Gun Laws: Supporting responsible gun ownership for work, farming, and sports, while opposing further stringent regulations.

Actually less government policy is the best type of policy. Simple policy is how the government was meant to Work.

Yes they keep saying they have no policies only because they’re scared and if it looks like they’re going to get in I’m pretty sure Pauline will gather some very good people around her to help her. People with the same values as the rest of Australia 

They have policies. But the lack of detail is the problem. An example is the recent faux pas by Barnaby Joyce with Andrew Bolt. The policy hadn’t be fleshed out other than the slogan. If they’re serious, they need to get them costed and provide significant detail. Their education policy is particularly vague and shows limited understanding of how the education system operates.

One Nation has policies. It is just that they don't know what they are or how they going to work. The wheels are starting to fall off as expected.

Funny looking Aussie flag.

So if One Nation can put forward thrir policies, why can't the other parties put their policies out???

It's not a belief, it's a fact, not one costed well thought out cohesive policy at all

Written in crayon???

They have a great web site and their policies are very clearly written. I oppose Pauline as a PM possibility and generally see the canditates and representatives as incompetent, but the web site is great.

All of the ON Policy are on the Website. Actually good reading 👍

I’ve got an idea, you should put it forward in parliament sometime when you actually decide to show up there. Politicians to get paid in accordance with how often they actually show up to work. What do you think? I mean I don’t wanna name names here because it might upset some people in your audience but some politicians only show up 50% of the time. If we gave them only 50% of the pay they might actually start showing up, if they still don’t then at least we could save millions of our wasted tax dollars. What do you think? If I only showed up to my work 50% of the time I’d get fired so I feel like politicians are still getting off lightly with this proposed policy. Would be keen to your thoughts since you’re always harping on about how people don’t wanna work anymore, I’m sure this would have your unequivocal support?

No policies that anyone understands.

Policy for Aussies who bought 50 homes?

One Nation all the way

Policies are not just Pauline’s talking points. They are accepted by the party, understood by members, independently costed and have consequences considered. When did your party room vote on any of the ideas you refer to as “policy”?

All paid for by billionaires

Well, it seems they cant even agree on the details of the housing policy for "non-australians" so they have a fair point.

Are they costed?

So Roberts lives on an imaginary spinning water ball 🤣🤣🤣

Keep up the good work One Nation 🤩

What are the policies for women? I can't find rhem

We urgently need a policy on Castle law, a policy on National Parks/land councils etc ... It's a priority in the Territory

Go Pauline!

The where are they? What are they? Where are the costings?

I’m double happy to be buying my cheap smokes! 😁

How about the government stop making choices for people If they want to smoke it’s a personal choice is it not Taxing it like they have turns every one who already smoke to a new market The government is never happy now it’s upset because it’s not getting our tax money on top of the tax we get taxed from our wages they tax you how many times GST was suppose to even the playing field but it’s done. nothing but tax us twice I say drop GST And return to how it was

We’re grown adults and we’re being taxed to the hilt with tobacco and banned from vapes. It’s no wonder these criminals have jumped on the bandwagon and started selling them illegally and unless the government get control of their own greed, nothing will change.

Another very real fact to add here is the quality of the illegal cigarettes is top notch, supermarket smokes are sickening. So the government has lost control completely. The illicit trade has no competitor only itself.

Its our rights to choose to smoke ..it also stops illness..thats fact .. technically they can not say to anyone to stop smoking ..i smoke since i wad 19 years old ..and on other side of coin poeple smoking bevouse streess of living with all crupted things they ste doing

The only reason why they want to get rid of so called illegal cigarettes is because they see they amount of tax they are losing, it's never had anything to do with peoples health but rather greed.

What about alcohol. I be you drink

Because they need something to help with stress, because they see no bloody future And l a not a smoker

The government is upset that their cash cows have relocated to another paddock, but refuse to admit that their highly excessive taxing of tobacco has caused this migration to greener pastures 🤷‍♀️ They refuse to admit their role in creating a boom in illicit tobacco sales - admitting their own mistakes and trying to remedy anything is obviously beyond them 🤦‍♀️

To legally grow your own

Cigarette taxed at a lower rate to reduce the black market advantage and vapes legally sold again especially non-disposable vapes. Harsh penalties for supplying to minors, really harsh.

Organic tobacco is better than the expensive cigarettes

A lot of people smoke more because they are stressed more with cost of living the way it is

I wholeheartedly disagree with the other guy. If I buy 100 dollars of black market, its literally a savings of 460 odd dollars per fortnight to go to other more important bills and my children, that's also going to last 6 weeks that tobacco, so i save an extra 1000 per month and im not being extorted by politicians who just use the money to account for their own corruption. I MAY be wrong but our laws on excise I believe only account for home production of tobacco not imports.

Imagine a world where you could grow your own tobacco… oh wait then the government wouldn’t be able to collect their excise! Oh yeah the exact same reason to shutdown any illicit trade. 💰💰💰

Bring back freedom of choice and the knowledge that the choices we make come with consequences, good and bad.

Will keep buying the so called illegal until tax is lowered simple, dont vape so know that's a problem with younger people, but my choice to smoke at what is fair, the tax excise is criminal

Makes me laugh, they claim the extortionary tax is to stop people smoking, at the same time complain about the lost revenue & yet, if the tax did stop smoking, what do they think would happen to that revenue?? They can claim it's about encouraging people to quit for their health, but ultimately it's just an excuse to rob people & because most people aren't aware that nicotine is actually beneficial, they use that as an excuse to behave like criminals. Typically criminals don't like competition, so like any criminal organization, they use the threat of repercussions to try & obtain a monopoly in the tobacco market, I say, competition drives better customer outcomes.

Now we just need un taxed alcohol 😂💪

The health concern angle doesn't cut it anymore. My body, my choice. The problem is economical. The revenue has actually dropped, even with the rise in taxes, because organised crime has taken that slice away. This alone is a good reason to react NOW & lower the taxes, become competitive with the criminals, instead of encouraging them.

Not to mention what it's doing to our tourist industry. If i were a smoker, there's no way I'd holiday in Australia, considering the price I'd have to pay for a packet of cigarettes. You can't even bring in a carton , you're only allowed one unopened packet and one opened packet. After arriving and then find out how much they cost , they'd probably be on the first plane outa here.

Don't Smoke

History repeats itself. Look at Prohibition in America. Ban/tax something people want and it creates an illegal trade and crime gangs to go with it. How much is each State and Territory paying for the crime gangs and enforce this. It is ridiculous. The Health Minister Mark Butler is pushing a ridiculous agenda for the taxes and forcing people to certain actions. State Premiers are perfectly right in the criticisms of Mr Butler and the Federal Labor government. More people need to call out this stupidity and make changes

Malcolm I know you like the odd joint 🤣
