Hanson Takes the Stage as Budget Woes Roll On
Hanson’s first formal National Press Club speech comes as One Nation surges in polls and government critics warn of more political disruption.
- One Nation leader Pauline Hanson will address the National Press Club on June 17, marking her first formal speech to the club in her 30-year parliamentary career.
- Surging past Labor in recent polling, Hanson acts as a disruptor in federal politics, echoing the historical 'Joh for Canberra' push by former Queensland premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen.
- Hanson shut down four branches over far-right infiltration fears and skipped nearly 90 per cent of Senate estimates sessions, while accepting a private plane from sponsor Gina Rinehart.
- Treasurer Jim Chalmers is pushing legislation reforming capital gains tax and negative gearing before parliament rises on July 2, aiming to keep compromises limited.
- Defence Minister Richard Marles confirmed on Wednesday that the government preferred secondhand Virginia-class submarines for the $368 billion AUKUS program, citing consistency.
