Several outlets report that Pauline Hanson’s One Nation is gaining public support in Australia, placing pressure on mainstream parties. The Guardian describes Hanson—who has long been associated with controversial stances on immigration and race—as moving from political pariah to a figure of growing electoral relevance more than three decades after entering federal parliament. It links the shift to a broader global wave of right-wing populism and to voters’ economic anxieties.
Other coverage focuses on how foreign media portray Hanson and the party’s momentum. Brisbane Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, and The Age (Melbourne) describe international framing that compares Hanson to European far-right politics and highlights her admiration for Donald Trump. They also note that global far-right parties have been winning or building support in multiple countries, which overseas commentators view as part of a wider trend.
Taken together, the articles say One Nation’s rise is not only being tracked within Australia but is also attracting attention abroad, as political leaders across the spectrum adjust messaging in response to shifting voter sentiment.
