PAR (Revised) - Who is Pauline Hanson_ One Nation's Pauline Hanson addresses National Press Club
Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description
Pauline Hanson is a prominent right-wing populist politician and the leader of the One Nation party who currently serves as a Federal Senator for Queensland, a role she has held since 2016. Her political career began in 1996 when she was elected to the House of Representatives for Oxley, where she quickly gained national attention for her controversial maiden speech targeting multiculturalism and immigration. Hanson's platform is built on an "Australia First" ideology, advocating for drastic reductions in migrant intake and the protection of national sovereignty and traditional values. Despite losing her seat in 1998 and spending years as a high-profile public figure outside of parliament, she made a successful comeback in 2016 and remains a polarizing figure known for her outspoken criticism of Islam, Asian immigration, and Indigenous policies.
