Roberts' Claims Spark One Nation Crisis | Australia News
Description
Senator Malcolm Roberts is under fire after claiming Covid-19 deaths were staged, sparking outrage and further damaging One Nation’s already shaky poll numbers. His conspiracy theories, including questioning the severity of the virus for the vulnerable and receiving no government response, have drawn sharp criticism from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who called his views unworthy of a senator. Meanwhile, the party faces fresh controversy as a candidate in a WA by-election admits to past cocaine use, despite One Nation’s anti-crime stance. The party is pushing forward with its campaign, backing Luke Herdegen and using AI-generated social media, while pledging to place Labor and the Greens last in their preference deal — all as they attempt to unseat the incumbent government.
