As Pauline Hanson’s One Nation surges in the polls, the “political elites” in Canberra are shaking. History is repeating itself, and for those who have stood by Pauline since 1996, the tactics being used today look all too familiar. From the courtroom to the streets, the movement to put “Australia First” is under fire from the same forces that have tried to dismantle it for decades.
A History of Sabotage: The 2003 “Witch Hunt”
Lest we forget, the establishment has already used the legal system to try and end Pauline Hanson’s career. In 2003, in what many supporters called a blatant political “witch hunt,” Pauline was sentenced to three years in prison over electoral fraud charges.
She spent 11 weeks in a maximum-security prison before the Queensland Court of Appeal quashed all convictions, ruling her innocent and ordering her release. This wasn’t just a legal error; it was a warning shot from the major parties that anyone who disrupts the status quo will be targeted.
The “Trump Treatment”: Sabotage by the Two-Party System
Just as we’ve seen with Donald Trump in the United States, the two major parties—Labor and the Liberals—will do everything in their power to stop a populist movement. Whether it’s through preference deals designed to keep One Nation out or media smear campaigns, the goal is the same: sabotage.
- Lawfare: Using complex legal challenges to drain the party’s resources.
- Media Blackouts: Misrepresenting policies or ignoring the “surge” until it’s too late.
- Far-Left Aggression: The “militant left” continues to organize protests, often turning to intimidation tactics to silence ordinary Australians who just want their country back.
“They wanted to make sure she didn’t come back to haunt them,” a party representative said after the 2003 acquittal. Today, they are more afraid than ever.
How You Can Help: Strengthening the Shield
The establishment wins when the people are divided and the movement is broke. To fight back against the “unknown” forces—high-priced lobbyists, legal attacks, and political insiders—One Nation needs a war chest that can match the major parties.
Your membership is your voice. By becoming a registered member, you provide the party with the resources needed to hire the legal experts and defenders required to stop the establishment’s next “witch hunt.”
- General Membership: $60/year (or $6/month)
- Concession/Student: $40/year (or $4/month)
- Senator’s Circle: $500/year (for those who want to be at the front lines of policy development)
Don’t let the establishment win by default. Would you like me to draft a social media post or a flyer you can use to encourage others in your community to join the movement?
Here are some social media headlines to use when sharing Pauline Articles:
The Political Option: “Unmasking the Uni-Party: Why Labor and the Liberals will stop at nothing to keep Pauline silent.”
The “Trump-Style” Option: “The 2003 Witch Hunt was just the beginning—Don’t let the establishment sabotage Australia’s future again.”
