Why Howard’s battlers now fight for One Nation

White working class anger over unchecked immigration has sent support for One Nation skyrocketing in recent months, threatening Labor as well as the Liberals across the country in previously safe seats and changing the nation’s political agenda.

One Nation is coming for Labor as well

Much of One Nation’s surge in support has been driven by disaffected Coalition voters but Pauline Hanson’s appeal to working class voters worried about immigration and the economy should give Labor genuine cause for concern.

Slow train coming

In the 2025 Australian federal election, Pauline Hanson’s party received only 6.4% of the national vote. A year later, One Nation has surpassed the Liberal Party in the polls, received more votes than the Liberals in the South Australian election, and won their first seat in the House of Representatives in the Farrer by-election. How it happen?

Could the Coalition help One Nation win Farrar?

A decision by the Liberals and Nationals to direct preferences to One Nation could prove decisive in the Farrar by-election caused by the resignation of Sussan Lee and deliver the seat to the David Farley.

One Nation 2.0

The dramatic success of One Nation in the South Australian election is better calculated by its seismic effect on the right of politics across the country, rather than the paltry number of seats won outright.

What does One Nation want?

The leaders of One Nation are seldom interviewed on the nation’s news and current affairs programmes, which may play to its advantage with a public tired of politics, so what does the party actually believe?

How One Nation took the nation

Long disdained or ignored by the mainstream media, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party is now threatening Labor as well as eclipsing the Liberals as public concern over mass immigration grows.

Why is One Nation surging in the polls?

Support for Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party has doubled since the 2025 Federal Election as public concern over immigration grows and the shell-shocked Liberals continue to flounder after their overwhelming defeat.

Nice try Pauline but your crocodile tears won’t work on us

While the major parties scrap it out this month for office, the poor performance of Pauline Hanson’s “One Nation” in the polls may indicate a long term trend towards broader public acceptance of a multi-cultural Australia.
