The NSW Liberal Party’s launch includes speeches by Kellie Sloane and Angus Taylor that do not mention One Nation. However, the reporting across outlets says the political presence of Pauline Hanson is still noticeable in the backdrop of the event.
The sources frame this as a contrast between what is said and what is politically implied. While the speeches focus on Liberal themes and personalities, the lack of direct reference to One Nation is highlighted as deliberate or at least conspicuous given One Nation’s profile in NSW politics. Two outlets describe Hanson’s influence as a “shadow” over the launch, suggesting that audience expectations and the broader electoral environment may shape how parties position themselves.
Across the three reports, the main shared point is the same: there is no explicit acknowledgement of One Nation during the speeches, even as Hanson’s role in the political landscape remains salient.
