Hanson urges conservatives to leave Coalition but offers to work with it
Pauline Hanson, leader of Australia’s One Nation party, spoke at a conservative conference in Brisbane alongside Coalition leader Angus Taylor.
She urged conservative voters to turn away from the Coalition, blaming it for climate policies and the creation of the eSafety Commissioner’s office.
Hanson said One Nation would hold a royal commission into net zero climate targets if elected.
Taylor acknowledged past Coalition mistakes, including on immigration, climate change and pandemic spending, but focused his criticism on the Labor government.
Hanson said One Nation would work with the Liberal and National parties if that helped remove Labor from government.
The speeches show competing conservative parties criticising each other while also discussing cooperation against Labor at the next election.
