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.

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

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

Funny looking Aussie flag.

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 

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.

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.

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 👍

Yes they have 3 housing policies 🤣🤣🤣

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?

Tax all gas and coal at 50% and collect all royalties or NO VOTE

If she spent more time talking about her own policies instead of bagging current ones that goes for all by the way I think Australia would be better for it

No policies that anyone understands.

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”?

One Nation all the way

They want you to believe One Nation has no policies. Do not fall for it. That is the standard tactic of the political establishment. If they cannot explain why people are abandoning the major parties, they try to ridicule the alternative. If they cannot defend their own record, they attack the challenger as dangerous, empty or extreme. But Australians are not fools. They can see the country is under pressure: housing, immigration, energy, taxes, crime, infrastructure, cost of living and trust in government. They can also see that the existing political class helped create many of these problems. That is why people are looking elsewhere. This is not just about One Nation. It is about voters rejecting the arrogance of career politicians who believe they can lie, spin, tax, regulate and then frighten people back into line at election time. As I argue in The Career Politician Problem: “When voters no longer believe the political class represents them, they begin looking for disruption rather than reassurance.” That is exactly what is happening. The major parties can keep sneering, or they can ask themselves why so many Australians are now prepared to vote for anyone but them.

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

All this is irrelevant as Dumb Nation will never hold power. For Hanson to become Prime Minister after the next federal election, several things would need to happen almost simultaneously: One Nation would need to convert polling support into actual lower-house seats. The party would need strong candidates across dozens of electorates. Preference flows would need to work in its favour. Hanson would likely need to win a House of Representatives seat herself. The major parties would need to continue losing support at an unusually rapid rate. One Nation would need to convince voters it is ready not just to protest, but to govern. Political history suggests that major realignments usually take multiple election cycles. Even when new political movements surge, building the local organisations, candidate networks, fundraising, and voter trust needed to win large numbers of seats is a slow process. A useful comparison is that parties such as the Australian Greens spent decades building their parliamentary presence. Even when support grew substantially, translating that into lower-house seats was much harder than winning Senate representation. What seems more plausible over the next two years is: One Nation increases its vote share. It wins a few more House seats. It gains additional Senate seats. It exerts more influence over the policy agenda. That's a very different outcome from Hanson becoming Prime Minister. So while political momentum can change surprisingly quickly, going from a minor party with limited House representation to leading a federal government in a single election cycle would be one of the most dramatic transformations Australia has ever seen. The electoral mathematics are simply much tougher than the headline polling numbers suggest.

So if your policy is to force property owners to give up a property after 2 years - I assume with your time in the Senate you understand an average citizenship pathway. Using the standard pathway: * Eligibility is usually reached after 4 years of residence in Australia. * Once an application is lodged, 50% of citizenship applications are decided within 4 months, and 90% within 8 months. * After approval, 90% of applicants are offered a ceremony within 6 months

Keep up the good work One Nation 🤩

All paid for by billionaires

Are they costed?

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

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

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.

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

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

What about alcohol. I be you drink

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 🤦‍♀️

Organic tobacco is better than the expensive cigarettes

To legally grow your own

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

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.

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.

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. 💰💰💰

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.

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.

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

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.

This could be a long read.. 1) I'm a smokers, I would love to give up ,purely because of the cost... I'm not going to get into a debut on health.. 2) but the facts are govt are trying to control us for our own choices in life.. Twice a yr govt increase the prices on tobacco and cigarettes ,march and September.... The tax is calculated on per cigarette and it is currently $1.52 tax per cigarette... So a pkt of legal cigarettes over the counter cost smokers approx $45.00 for a 30pkt... A carton of 10pkts of 20 smokes of illegal cigarettes only costs As little as $70.00. So i ask you ,,,would you pay approx $250.00 for 200 legal smokes ,,, OR Would you pay As little as $70 on the black market.. Being on low income or on a pension YES you will always track down a supply of very cheap smokes ... The govt obviously don't a brain between them. 3) how to stop the illegal sales ,and crime at the same time ... 4) 1st reduce the huge tax on smokes and leaving no room for illegal sales to compete. The govt need to open their eyes to common sence.... If people choose to smoke knowing the health risks that's their choice... But the govt may loose out on some tax $$.. But have they ever worked out that a % of smokers will never survive Long enough to get a pension ,therefore saving the govt welfare system millions of $$ ... 5) govt in Australia is not Looking after the people.. For a start ,they practically give our gas away next to no tax ,,how about start charging these overseas companies robbing us blind with cheap gas and then the govt top up the taxes by making the people pay more per litre Than what they sell it over seas ,we pay the short fall.... We really don't have a govt that can't manage Enough steaks at a BBQ LET ALONE HOW TO MANAGE A COUNTRIES FINANCIAL SITUATION... so the illegal cigarette trade is eventually going To cut govt taxes down in billions of $$$ from their own stupidity and greed And mismanagement ....

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.

Now we just need un taxed alcohol 😂💪

In Bali 100g legally sold tobacco about $2 🥳

The cheaper smokes , seem better for me Please explain
