Pauline Hanson’s full speech at the National Press Club

Pauline Hanson’s full speech

I am aware that I am at the National Press Club, but I am delighted that I can speak to the people of Australia and they are the people to whom I am accountable.

Just to get things out of the way... I think it’s important. Is Channel Nine here? I just want to clarify that no Gina’s (Gina Rinehart) jet is not broken, and I flew cattle class.

Don’t expect a divisive Welcome to Country from me - this beautiful country belongs to all Australian’s born here and those who have joined us.

My job may surprise you.

I am elected to represent the concerns of the people of Queensland. I am also the leader of a political party, One Nation. So, I have a responsibility to the wider Australian electorate.

My overriding concern and that of the people I talk to, is that politicians today are good at talking but not listening; they will do anything to get your vote but when that has been achieved, the voter is ignored.

The public are sick and tired of being ignored.

So, what has happened in recent times, when I have listened? Well, I’ll tell you what the issues are – firstly, immigration and housing.

According to the Housing Industry Association earlier this month, housing demand in Australia substantially outstrips housing supply.

The HIA says the “underlying problem we have is trying to fit 11 million households into 10 million homes”. Unsustainable demand is being driven by several factors, but the biggest is high immigration.

Let’s give these numbers some perspective.

In August 2000, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported:

“Australia’s population as a whole is projected to grow from the current size of 19 million to between 24 and 28 million over the next 50 years.” It’s only 2026, and we have already passed 28 million.

At the time, the ABS did not consider net overseas migration exceeding 110 thousand per year.

At the time it was pretty much unthinkable.

Fast forward to today.

Net overseas migration in the first three years under this Albanese Labor government has totalled 1.27 million people.

That’s more than 423 thousand per year.

A total of more than 1.9 million people arrived in Australia from mid-2022 to mid-2025.

Undeniably immigration or immigration policy has our country in the state of crisis.

At the centre of this crisis is the utterly flawed policy of multiculturalism.

We cannot be a multicultural society. We are a multiracial society, but we must be monocultural. Australians must live under the one cultural umbrella.

Now to the facts.

As one of your own, Paul Kelly, reminded us recently, some of our best Universities have nearly 50 per cent of their enrolments being overseas students. Is that what the electorate wants or supports?

32 per cent of our population, 8.8 million people have been born overseas. Is that what Australia supports?

In the 2021 census, more than half of Australian residents, 51.5% were born overseas or had one parent born overseas. 51.5 per cent. Is that supported by the Australian electorate? Is that what Australia wants?

The comparable figure for the United States is 14 per cent. Do Australians feel that the Nation is losing its identity along with its values? We all know the answer to that.

Let me amplify this issue of national identity and Australian values. Only a fool would ignore the growing language problem which is a function of immigration. Again, the 2021 census showed that 1 in 4 people, 23 per cent speak alanguage other than English at home, the most common being, Mandarin and Arabic.

How can you generate social cohesion if people can’t speak the language? In that same census, 872,000 people self-reported, as speaking English “not well” or “not at all.”

Under the failed policy of multiculturalism, all cultures are allowed equivalence to ours. Surely opposing that is not racist, it’s common sense.

My Party is rightly called One Nation.

It is clear what we stand for, One Nation under one flag and proudly Australian. We oppose entirely people coming into this country and bringing with them the troubles they have left behind; coming to this country and ignoring our values, our language, our traditions, our dress and the fact that we are predominately a Judeo-Christian society.

It’s time we woke up. Western civilisation and its values are under siege. The people to whom I speak are fed up with hate preachers in some Sydney mosques.

If they hate this country, they should be told to leave. Ed Husain has written a book simply called The Islamist. In it, he explains why he joined radical Islam in Britain, what he saw inside and why he left.

The writer was from a loving family, who taught him that Islam is a religion no different from being a Catholic, or a Protestant, but he soon was taught that Islam is not a religion but a political movement.

And he learnt; that, quote “Islamist groups pose a threat to this country that we, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, do not yet understand,” – unquote. He says, quote “I illustrate the depth of the problem that now grips Muslim hearts and minds and I lay bare what politicians and Muslim community leaders do not want you to know.” – Unquote.

What do we do here? We turn a blind eye.

Why, because we are frightened. Well, I am not frightened and nor is One Nation. There is no room for hate preachers in this country.

If they have arrived here, they will be deported. If they were born here, they will face the full force of the law.

While ever I lead this Party, I will not walk away from my commitment to get rid of this social cancer.

But Labor has allowed this immigration catastrophe to happen in the middle of a national housing crisis.

So, there is a housing crisis. But the not so smart thinkers in the Albanese Government make changes to negative gearing.

If you make changes to negative gearing, investment will move away from housing.

That is common sense, but common sense is not common.

And what will this do to the rental market?

We haven’t been able to house everyone already here, yet Labor has been bringing more than 1,375 people per day for the past three years. Just two months ago, SQM Research showed the national rental vacancy rate was just 1 per cent. It was just 0.5 per cent in Perth, 0.7 per cent in Adelaide and 0.8 per cent in Brisbane.

It was only 0.4 per cent in Hobart and Darwin.

In the same month, the median weekly RENT across Australian capital cities reached 680 dollars. That’s $35,000 a year after tax.

According to the Productivity Commission, in January this year there were more than 250,000 applicants waiting for social housing.

Forty-three per cent of low-income renters were experiencing rental stress. Up to 3.2 million people in Australia were at risk of losing their home, and we know that around 130,000 Australians are sleeping rough every night.

Even the Treasury’s own forecasts show housing demand will exceed supply for at least the next five years.

Two years ago, I tried to secure a national plebiscite on immigration numbers.

As usual, most of the Senate dismissed the notion of giving Australians a direct say on policy and voted it down.

During the debate I distinctly remember Coalition senator Paul Scarr saying the issue was too complex to put to the Australian people.

That disgusting comment says all you need to know about the political establishment’s contempt for the Australian people: contempt for their intelligence, and contempt for the very concept of actually listening to them.

I’m always listening, and that’s why my policy to slash immigration reflects what most Australians want.

The press might consider reflecting on this and better consider why more Australians trust One Nation on immigration policy than anyone else. The story is simple, my views haven’t changed. Other political parties are simply following me.

It’s why my policy will restrict immigration from places immersed in extremism like radical Islam – because that’s what most Australians want, especially after Bondi and the return of ISIS bride terrorists.

Make no mistake here: One Nation is dedicated to fighting against radical Islam and the obvious threat it represents to the peace of our country and the safety of our community.

I will not hesitate to call it out for being incompatible with Australian values and our way of life, for its hatred and its love of deadly violence.

If we want a secure and peaceful world, radical Islam must be destroyed. There is no place for it in Australia and my Party and I won’t tolerate it.

Now let’s talk about the cost of living.

The Salvation Army’s latest Red Shield Report released in May this year is not easy to read.

It reveals the plight of increasing numbers of low-income Australians who now need help just to get by.

Thousands of Australians are seeking this help every day. Organisations like the Salvos are so overwhelmed with demand they’re having to turn people away.

Of the 4,400 people surveyed:

• 19 per cent said they’d eaten food from rubbish bins in the past 12 months;

• 60 per cent said they’d eaten expired or spoiled food;

• 91 per cent said they had skipped meals and 32 per cent said they do so on a daily basis;

• 35 per cent said they survived on only one meal a day;

• 67 per cent said they watered down food and drinks to make them last longer;

• 35 per cent of parents said their children had gone to school hungry;

• 59 per cent said their children had missed school because they couldn’t afford the transport costs;

• 84 per cent said they went to bed early to keep warm;

Where’s Peanut Bowen? Where is he with his reliable energy? What is that doing for our age, for our pensioners, those people that can’t afford to pay their electricity costs?

• 63 per cent said they used candles and torches for lighting their homes;

• 49 per cent said they go to public places like shopping centres to keep warm or cool;

• 51 per cent can’t afford a doctor, dentist or optometrist; and

• 46 per cent can’t afford prescription medicine. This is unacceptable to me and my Party.

As I will explain later, the Government’s energy policy, which One Nation will dismantle, feeds problems such as these.

Everything is unbearably dearer.

Oz-Harvest’s annual Frontline Report this year showed about 350,000 Australians were seeking food relief each month – more than two thirds of them are families.

Charities report having to turn away 74,000 people each month, and every charity reports increasing demand.

About 36 per cent of people seeking relief are doing so for the first time.

Almost a third of households needing relief had at least one employed person.

What kind of Australia have we become?

These figures are appalling and totally un-Australian for a rich country such as ours.

Put bluntly, these figures derive because of one policy, above all others, the hoax of global warming which is now climate change.

It has produced an increase in energy costs which has taken Australia into energy poverty.

The Albanese Government itself is proof of what I am saying.

Remember, when first campaigning to be elected, the Albanese Government said it would reduce power bills by $275. Surely the slogan, “Fire the Liar” has relevance to millions of Australians. Was it a lie to campaign in 2022 on the slogan “A better future”? Is this how Australians feel today?

The cost of energy feeds into everything we use, we eat, we manufacture, everything.

So, food is dearer, housing is dearer, rents are dearer, there is your cost of living crisis.

Albanese lied to become elected, and Australians are paying for it.

How many times were you, the media, condemned for simply asking before the last election whether a Labor Government would make changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing? Didn’t they lie to the electorate?

I am meant to be a voice for that electorate. The public are sick to the back teeth with these lies.

When the Prime Minister was delivering a speech to miners in the coal mining region of NSW, the Hunter Valley, in the 2025 election campaign, did he fall off the stage and deny it?

Let me be blunt, if you lie once, why won’t you lie again and again and again?

Let me come back to energy, the central source of national poverty.

Amos Hochstein was the special coordinator for energy security during the Biden Administration.

Recently, he said of renewables, quote “Renewables don’t compete with oil. They don’t supply solutions to aviation. We rely on more shipping that doesn’t run on renewables.

Yes, we should invest more in renewables but that won’t solve this crisis anytime soon... the inside of an electric vehicle is still made of plastic that is made from fuel and petroleum... our hospitals are made entirely from petroleum, our masks, our syringes, MRI machines, CT Scans, all need helium which comes from natural gas.” - End quote.

Because individuals and businesses are suffering from this net zero nonsense, the government shovels out millions of dollars of taxpayers’ money just to justify their failing energy policy.

Let me make no apology.

One Nation will end this renewable energy bribery – grants, tax incentives, concessional finance, even the government underwriting anything that sponsors the whole net zero hoax.

Let me give you one example amongst many. Rewiring the nation to build useless transmission lines and destroy prime agricultural land, billions of taxpayer dollars. This will end.

One Nation will always protect prime agricultural land.

It belongs to farmers, not government transmission lines.

Let me give you another example.

The bloke in the corner store is productive. Does he get subsidies? I speak to struggling farmers everywhere, do they get subsidies?

Does the young 25-year-old going out on his own starting up a business, does he get subsidies? But no, community batteries, solar banks, regional renewable projects, it’s impossible to keep track of all these taxpayer subsidies.

The Government’s Clean Energy Finance Corporation provides tens of billions of dollars for renewable projects, of course, at favourable rates.

This is a rort.

Renewable energy projects benefit from cheaper finance than the market would offer. Are those benefits available to the bloke in the corner store?

The small businessman in the suburbs? The businesses that keep regional towns in Australia alive? Do they get financed at favourable rates?

But this outfit, the Clean Energy Finance Corporation has received over $200 billion dollars of taxpayers’ money, $200 thousand million dollars of taxpayers’ money.

I am not opposed to renewable energy, but if it’s the saviour of the energy crisis, and if it’s profitable, why would Government have to prop it up?

One Nation is saying, put everything into the energy mix.

Let everyone share the wealth that is under our feet.

We are one of the richest resource nations in the world.

I am saying get ideology out of the way.

Let me just add that it’s clear that the hydrogen energy solution is blowing up in Australia’s face or should I say, Andrew Forrest’s face.

But we still have, here we go again, taxpayer subsidies, a hydrogen head start program, $4 billion in four Budgets and the Prime Minister has announced $520 million of your money for green hydrogen projects outside the head start program.

And what about Malcolm Turnbull’s $2 billion Snowy 2 point zero project?

He calls himself a businessman but showed no regard for taxpayers’ money; the $2 billion is now forecast to reach over $40 billion. Cancel it. Cut our losses.

Governments have no money of their own other than what they take from taxpayers. The Snowy Hydro 2 point zero is nothing more than a blackhole of debt for taxpayers.

Before the South Australian election, One Nation argued, quote “Australia’s fuel shock exposes energy insecurity... Australia’s energy sector is finally catching up to what One Nation has been saying for years: We need a secure, reliable energy future. Every leap forward in human progress has come from mastering energy, from fire to steam, from coal to oil, each step has powered stronger economies, lifted people out of poverty and secured our future. Energy isn’t a luxury. It is the backbone of prosperity. Get it wrong and everything else suffers. Get it right and the nation thrives.” - End quote.

Therefore moving forward, One Nation will introduce nuclear energy.

Let me be plain and clear.

Our energy crisis is a product of failed energy policy; and this policy was supported years ago by major political parties and the big media giants.

I have always opposed it.

Ford and Holden closed their factories more than a decade ago, for one simple reason, the cost of production. The source of much of our wealth is under our feet and should not be only for export. Of course, basic environmental standards must be met, but they can’t be allowed to throttle our economy. We will never be able to do without coal and gas.

We should encourage the investment in them and provide power to homes and business, as we once did, at the world’s cheapest price. Bowen said last March that households stood to claim savings of up to 10.1 per cent yet average electricity debt for customers on hardship programmes has jumped 22.8 per cent over the past year. These are Australian Energy Regulator figures. Gas hardship debt is up 22.2 per cent. This applies to households, small businesses, industry and manufacturing.

The Regulator, not Pauline Hanson, warned, quote “Experiencing energy debt and the ability of customers experiencing financial difficulty to repay debt... remain a concern.” (End of quote) Stop blaming the Middle East.

Electricity prices increased across all regions before the war in the Middle East; and there is evidence that disconnections over the coming quarters will increase if conditions don’t improve. Disconnections in the first quarter of this year saw more than 6,200 electricity customers cut off. Average debt at the point of disconnection was more than $2,600. I should point out that there are now new rules to take effect from July that will prevent disconnections for debts below $500.

We have just had a Budget brought down, and I will not hesitate from continuing to say, especially to young Australians, that the Government is not telling the truth. The Prime Minister and the Treasurer are desperate, and they keep saying that anyone who opposes the Budget measures is opposing the opportunity for young people to get into housing. I am loathe to call this another lie, but how else do you describe it?

More than 40,000 18- to 24-year-olds will lose out to Chalmers Capital Gains Tax. In the last ten years, the number of young people making income out of assets, in an entrepreneurial way, buying an apartment, doing it up, selling it – there has been a 365 per cent increase in the number of 18 to 24-year-olds who have done this. A 351 per cent increase in 25 to 29-year-olds.

A 246 per cent increase among 30 to 34-year-olds. So, the largest capital gains cohort is younger. There are now over 215,000 under 35-year-olds who will see less income from their investments. Punishing ambitious and aspirational young people who are trying to build a future, to build wealth, to build independence and to invest in Australia, Albanese and Chalmers are heading in the wrong direction.

Chalmers argues when it comes to people under 35 with shares, quote “About 1 in 10 people under 35 have shares”, unquote. What a pathetic defence is that? One in ten people, is a lot of people!! Before Covid in 2021-22, nearly 75,000 Australians 18 to 24 years of age recorded capital gains.

Now the Albanese Government is coming after these young Australians. They call it tax reform. How on earth can ripping another 77 billion dollars out of the pockets of Australians be called tax reform. You see, the truth is this. On April 21, 2006, Peter Costello declared the nation debt free. I have never been in Government. We have done our best in the Senate to curtail the irresponsibility of previous Governments and this Government.

I have always argued against escalating debt. The difference between Albanese, Chalmers and me is that I actually ran a small business. They have earnt their income by working for Government, taking their salary from the taxpayer.

It is 20 years since Peter Costello made that declaration. In that time the debt has climbed from zero to almost $1 trillion. That is, on average, 50,000 million dollars a year, every year, for twenty years. Dr Chalmers has a PHD from ANU writing about the Keating Government. He hasn’t learnt much. Paul Keating reduced spending to 22.9 per cent of GDP. Chalmers has managed to increase that to about 28 per cent of GDP.

Gough Whitlam was sacked for bad economic management when spending reached over 25 per cent of GDP. Albanese and Chalmers should be sent in the same direction. Our task is simple, we must grow the national cake. If the cake stays the same size and the population increases, there is less for every one of us. Debt doesn’t seem to matter to this Government or its predecessors. In 2013, our debt was $257 billion, 257 thousand million.

Get your head around that. On the latest figures, we are heading towards a trillion dollars. This Government keeps spending. Spending leads to inflation and inflation leads to interest rates going up. The IMF have warned that spending is breeding inflation. The Reserve Bank has warned that, as inflation climbs, so must interest rates; therefore, regardless of whether you’ve got 500,000 homes available tomorrow - try borrowing on a single income. But, under this Government, interest rates are heading towards 10 per cent.

Young people can’t afford the deposit, let alone the mortgage repayments. Young people are the latest victims of the Government’s lies.

Let me just say what concerned voters know. Every attempt has been made for years to silence me. In fact, there are always some people, usually a lot of people, who get offended by what I say or do, even offended by my very existence. I don’t fear it. I embrace it. But many people aren’t like me.

In Australia today, in our democracy, the real tragedy is people are frightened of what will happen to them if they just speak up. But now they are finding the courage to embrace One Nation. But what a national tragedy, indeed a disgrace, that many people feel afraid to make their views heard. As a result, civil debate is paralysed. And the media are complicit in amplifying this fear. Many people feel that they can’t indulge that essential Australian characteristic of speaking out and speaking up because the risk of speaking out is simply too great. They feel demonised and condescended. And they’re mad as hell about it.

It’s as good an explanation as any for the earthquake that is changing the political landscape in Australia and other countries. That was the best outcome of the Voice to Parliament referendum. It showed that Australians were not prepared to let their country be taken away from them.

This won’t happen if One Nation is given a say in Government. If I sound defiant, yes I am. Am I committed, you bet I am. In many respects, I haven’t changed and neither has One Nation.

Thankfully, Australians have woken up for which I am grateful. After years of hoping for something different from the political class but getting nowhere, many Australians are looking elsewhere. I am a known quantity for these Australians. They know I’m not part of the political establishment that is no longer listening to them and no longer seems to care. They know you’ve come after me, even happy to see me put in prison. They know what you’ve been saying about me and many of them no longer believe you.

They’ve watched you first dismiss One Nation’s rise as a blip. As the polls progressed, they watched you confidently say it would fall apart. Then they watched as you started saying it was a concern, but only for the Coalition. Later you said it was a worry, and then they watched as you actively tried to stop it with your usual double-standard attacks. Yes. I am talking about sections of the Australian media.

They watched as they said the support wouldn’t hold up. And with every attack, our support just keeps growing. Then came the South Australian election. Our increased support in the polls was tested at an election for the first time, and we showed it was real. Then we won the Farrer by-election.

For me this was a watershed for One Nation. We had breached that final barrier – a One Nation candidate with strong credentials in David Farley, won us a seat in the House of Representatives for the first time. And not just any seat, but a seat previously held by former representatives of the Liberals and the Nationals. Even after that far left mob, GetUp, spent more than $600,000 directly attacking me in Farrer. It just drove more votes our way. Australians aren’t buying this crap from the political establishment and its media supporters anymore.

But now I want to turn to one very, very important social and cultural issue facing this country. I refer firstly to the transgender insurgency. The transgender ideology has penetrated almost every regulatory authority, and it is supported by the Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Dr Anna Cody, who, in Government, I would sack. So too, the head of the Human Rights Commission, Hugh de-Kretser. This transgender campaign, where a man can become a woman because he simply feels that way, or where major political parties have some difficulty in defining what is a woman and what is a man, it’s worth pointing out that it’s 15 years since Germaine Greer said in a debate about sex and gender that sex is fundamentally tied to the body and that transgender women are not female. She argued that undergoing surgery does not make a person female or to remind viewers of her frequently quoted remark, quote “Just because you lop off your penis and then wear a dress, doesn’t make you a woman.” Unquote.

Germaine Greer led many people to summarise her position, not her words but mine, that a woman must have female anatomy and a person without a penis is not a man.

Yet we have almost every instrument of Government dedicated to a transgender ideology which seeks to redefine humanity. I am not opposed to transgender people. I am simply saying that a transgender woman should not be allowed into woman’s sport or into a woman’s changing room. And likewise, a transgender man. Yet we have the Human Rights Commission, the Sex Discrimination Commissioner, regulatory authorities, the Office of Women and large sections of the Labor Party, the Liberal Party and the Greens unprepared to articulate the biological truth. The Aids Council of NSW is the leading advocate of transgenderism in Australia.

They go into the workplace to ensure that there is what is called a Workplace Equity Index. All health regulatory bodies sign up to this. Corporations pay the Aids Council of NSW for its advice and services. The Office of the Ombudsman signs up to the Australian Workplace Equity Index. This nonsense must end. De-Krester, the head of the Human Rights Commission wants more power, basically to control the debate about what is a woman. And this stuff is going on in schools. This transgender ideology is infecting all of society. It is explicitly subversive.

There seem to be no boundaries and it has become part of the propaganda being imposed on kids in classrooms. Who dreamt up the title, the Australian Workplace Equity Index? I repeat, you can’t find a government regulatory authority that hasn’t signed up for this. This transgender movement is a militant force right throughout society and must be confronted. I repeat, through a whole stack of government authorities which the average Australian knows nothing about because they are too busy getting on with their lives, this movement, like militant Islam, is everywhere and seeks to redefine humanity and biology. And, in this way, change the nation. It won’t happen if I have any say in it; but don’t expect the Labor Party to confront this real issue. They are in bed with it. Australia deserves a voice in all this. Only One Nation will provide the strenuous opposition that is needed. This whole subversive transgender insurgency must be dismantled.

Finally, let me turn to the greatest economic and technical change since the industrial revolution, to this point ignored almost entirely by the Albanese Government. I refer of course to Artificial Intelligence. A.I bids to transform the global economy. It will affect everyone’s lives, including their daily lives, their relationships, indeed their environment. It has the potential to dramatically affect the lives of human beings the consequences of which may be still unknown.

Therefore, AI SHOULD NOT be left entirely to self regulation. Public trust is essential for widespread adoption. The Albanese Governments response to the coming of AI is largely to leave it in the hands of corporations with little regulation to ensure that the industry operates in the public interest.

One Nation seeks a middle path; encourage AI adoption and its economic benefits while imposing enforceable safeguards where AI can importantly affect people’s rights, their safety, their employment, their privacy, even their democratic participation. If AI is to be successfully deployed, public trust is a pre-requisite.

One Nation will put in place mechanisms, if not to entirely protect jobs, and we won’t take the Albanese route of lying to you, but we will have to get everyone through this. One Nation will look after the interests of working Australians whose economic wellbeing could be threatened. I don’t claim to have the answers now, but we will find them. In general terms, AI requires regulatory measures.

On a final note, I have a few more words for the main stream media. One Nation’s new support brings with it much greater responsibility. I get that. And I can assure you that One Nation, its administration, its candidates and its leadership will prove we can deliver. It’s your job to scrutinise my Party, its people and its policies.

Unlike the Prime Minister, I welcome it. I’m an elected representative and I should be scrutinised. That doesn’t give you the licence to pile on. It doesn’t give you the licence to delegitimise my Party. It doesn’t give you the licence to say preferencing One Nation is immoral. It doesn’t give you the license to continue to repeat the lie that we are a racist Party - because that is untrue. The Australian people can make up their own mind. And they are. Rest assured, there will be big changes if One Nation is given the chance. The SBS will be gone.

There’s no need for it anymore; the internet has overtaken the need for it. The ABC will still exist, but in a very different form. Taxpayers will still fund some of the ABC’s operations in regional, rural, and remote areas where there is a lack of commercial media. But in the cities which are already saturated with media outlets across the political spectrum, the ABC will only be a subscription service. From its chairman down, the ABC has proven itself to be completely in denial about its profoundly transparent political bias and the activists in its ranks. Yet they think of themselves as a pillar of democracy.

The arrogance is stunning in its scope. It is partly for this reason I have – at times – refused ABC interviews. I will continue to do so because as media outlets go, the ABC is very low on my list of priorities and their bias against One Nation and me is obvious. Remember this: I don’t answer to the media. I answer to the Australian people. Australians’ trust in the media, the government and public institutions is at an all-time low.

To you, the media, may I offer some advice. You have to earn the trust of the Australian people. I am confident I can. Can the media say the same thing? Many see you as part of the problem. In some respects, they’re right. One Nation and its leadership have one overriding ambition – to give this great country back its wealth which has been stolen from us by bad policy and arrogant policy misfits. I love this country.

I’m a patriot, and an unashamed nationalist. I will always put Australia and Australians first. One Nation will do its best to change this country’s direction; to re-assert its values; to honour its traditions; to reinforce that we are one nation under one flag; and my Party will put Australia back on the path to prosperity, security, independence and freedom. One Nation will do everything to help take this country back for its people. At the moment, government of this country has become a victim of the ideology of people who have failed you in the past and will fail you again.

Thank you for the invitation to be with you today.
