Overview
- Hanson spoke at the National Press Club this week, unveiled a 28‑page manifesto and pledged to field One Nation candidates in every state seat at the next election.
- During the address she invited scrutiny but also attacked reporters, called a Guardian correspondent 'trashy' over questions about her daughter’s employment and threatened to ban hostile journalists from future events.
- She repeated a plan to bar the ABC from campaign press conferences and proposed abolishing SBS while limiting ABC taxpayer funding to regional and remote areas where commercial media do not operate.
- One Nation’s regional strength, highlighted by a near‑tripling of its vote in the 2025 Hinchinbrook by‑election and warm crowds in Townsville including an appearance with Gina Rinehart, underpins Hanson’s push in Queensland.
- Major outlets and analysts have flagged unverified claims in Hanson’s remarks, described her style as populist and Trump‑like, and warned that her media tactics could reshape public scrutiny and influence the next Queensland vote.
