One Nation leader Pauline Hanson said she supports a coalition proposal by One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce during a Sky News interview today.
The alignment between the two figures suggests a coordinated effort to challenge the current Labor-Greens-Teal government by targeting specific environmental and administrative policies.
Hanson said her primary objective is to remove the current government from power. "My main aim is to get rid of this toxic Labor, Greens, Teal government that we have and to get rid of it," Hanson said.
Central to this platform is the complete removal of Australia's commitment to net-zero emissions. Hanson said the party wants to get rid of net zero completely and exit the Paris Agreement. This agenda includes the abolition of the Department of Climate Change.
Regarding her position, Hanson said, "This has been my stance, and I’ve been espousing it for weeks now."
The push comes as One Nation seeks to leverage its growing influence. The party's membership base is set to exceed 50,000 [1]. Additionally, the party recently secured a 22 percent primary vote in the South Australian election [2].
Hanson and Joyce are positioning these policy shifts as a direct alternative to the current administration's climate strategy, a move that would fundamentally alter Australia's international environmental obligations.
“"We want to get rid of net zero completely … we want to get out of the Paris Agreement."”
The alignment between Hanson and Joyce indicates a strategic attempt to consolidate right-wing opposition to climate policy. By targeting the Department of Climate Change and the Paris Agreement, One Nation is attempting to translate its recent electoral gains in South Australia into a broader national mandate to dismantle the existing environmental regulatory framework.
