Pauline Hanson says sheAs ready to be Prime Minister of Australia,
considering run for lower house seat
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has declared sheAs ready to be the
Prime Minister of Australia and is considering running for a seat in
the House of Representatives.
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has declared sheAs ready to be the
Prime Minister of Australia and is considering running for a seat in
the House of Representatives.
Her comments come after a recently published Redbridge-Accent Research seat-by-seat projection showed One Nation could win more than 50 seats
at an election.
In the wake of the polling, Ms Hanson told Sky NewsA Sunday Agenda
that she believed she was capable of leading the country as prime
minister.
oDo I want to be Prime Minister? Well, I tell you what, I wonAt knock
the job because I believe that I have the ability to do it,o she said.
oIAm not going to underestimate myself or say, 'no, I canAt do it,'
because you know, have a look at what weAve got now. ThatAs why weAre
in a mess.o
Ms Hanson added that running for a seat in the House of
Representatives, rather than the Senate, was oin considerationo for
the 2028 election.
oIt is in consideration by all means, it is in the mix but I'm not
making a decision now... It will be based on political strategy as
well,o she said.
Ms Hanson went on to describe the Albanese government as the oworsto
she had ever seen in her 30 years of politics.
oI see the destruction that's happened here. We've lost over 1400
industries, manufacturing, 50,000 small businesses gone insolvent,o
she said.
oThis isn't the country that I grew up in. So, whether it's Pauline
Hanson as Prime Minister ... we've got someone else to take on that
job.o

Asked if she was confident she had the team around her to form a
competent cabinet, Ms Hanson said, "You bet I do".
oI (have) a great team around me and even those members of parliament
that I have now, they're great, down to earth,o she said.
oIt's marvellous. You know, Barnaby Joyce, he's got a spring in his
step. He's really happy to be part of the party. He's got his voice,
he is out there.
oAnd here's a man who is former deputy prime minister of the nation,
the portfolios that he's had. a We've got a great team.
oI've got Cory Bernardi for South Australia. What a great leader he
is. A lot of good people. Don't underestimate David Farley either, who
won the seat of Farrer.o
Under the latest modelling, One Nation would form official opposition
if an election were held today, winning 53 seats compared to just 12
for the Coalition.
One Nation has also emerged as the most trusted political party to
deal with immigration, on the back of a policy to cap visas at 130,000
per year.
Asked whether her policy would drive up the cost of age care, due to
an aging population without enough workers, Ms Hanson said housing was
a bigger issue.
oMass migration means that the fact is we've got, you know, lack of
housing, so what's more important?o she said.
oYou don't care about people living in their cars, families in tents
in their caravans? So that's no problem to you whatsoever? Well, that
is an issue for me.o
Labor's Cabinet Secretary Andrew Charlton recently acknowledg One
Nation's surge, but denied they were a viable political alternative.
"It's clear that One Nation's vote has been rising in the polls,
there's no denying that. That's a phenomenon that we've seen all
around the world," he told Sunday Agenda.
"The challenge with One Nation is they are very good at pointing out grievances. They are much less good at providing solutions.
"We'll have to see what happens between now and the next election, but
clearly the best strategy for Labor is to present real solutions to
people."
Mr Charlton denied that his language was "putting One Nation down"
after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the party appealed to
people's "darkest forces".

Ms Hanson on Sunday argued that One Nation was attracting votes from
all sides of politics, not just from the Coalition.
"It's not just about Coalition, it's about Labor, it is about the
Greens, it is about everyone," Ms Hanson said.
"I was sitting here just waiting to do the interview, a fellow walks
past and he said, 'oh, it was me!' and he comes back.
"He said, 'You've got to get in there and make change to this
country'. He said, 'I've been a Labor voter'. He said, 'No more. I'm
not voting for them again'.
"I hear this constantly all the time. (People) are hurting so much.
They want truth, honesty, they want clear policies. If you think I
haven't got policies, go and look at my website.
"So that's another furphy that they tell people. 'I don't have
policies.' They pick up my policies all the time."
