Editing Pauline Hanson's One Nation (section)

==Policies==
===Immigration and asylum===
One Nation says that whilst it recognises the positive contributions of immigrants to Australian life, it supports a general reduction in the levels of net migration to "closer to the 20th century average of 70,000", to stabilise population numbers, citing economic, cultural and environmental arguments against mass migration. The party also calls for a travel ban on certain countries, similar to one enacted by the Trump administration in the United States, in order to combat radical Islam and prevent the immigration of people the party argues are more likely to reject Australian values and promote violent extremism. The party also supports stronger assimilation of immigrants. One Nation also seeks to withdraw Australia from the United Nations Refugee Convention and is opposed to the [[UN Global Compact on Migration]].<ref name="smh.com.au"/><ref>{{Cite web |title=One Nation responds to Pauline Hanson website redirecting to refugee charity |url=https://www.sbs.com.au/news/the-feed/article/one-nation-responds-to-pauline-hanson-website-redirecting-to-refugee-charity/tz784iz0x |access-date=2023-02-22 |website=SBS News |language=en |archive-date=22 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230222123241/https://www.sbs.com.au/news/the-feed/article/one-nation-responds-to-pauline-hanson-website-redirecting-to-refugee-charity/tz784iz0x |url-status=live }}</ref> Due to these statements, One Nation has been described as [[Criticism of Islam|anti-Islam.]]<ref name="The Financial Times2">{{Cite news|author1=Jamie Smyth|date=4 July 2016|title=Australian firebrand Pauline Hanson marks political return with anti-Muslim speech|work=The Financial Times|url=http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/636e4e76-41c7-11e6-9b66-0712b3873ae1.html|access-date=5 July 2016|archive-date=11 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160911035914/http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/636e4e76-41c7-11e6-9b66-0712b3873ae1.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|author1=Jean Kennedy|date=5 July 2016|title=Election 2016: Pauline Hanson's comments could lead to violence, Tim Soutphommasane warns|work=ABC News|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-05/pauline-hanson%27s-comments-could-lead-to-violence%3A-soutphommosane/7568608|access-date=5 July 2016|archive-date=31 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161031072202/http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-05/pauline-hanson%27s-comments-could-lead-to-violence%3A-soutphommosane/7568608|url-status=live}}</ref>

Following the end of lockdowns in Australia as a result of [[COVID-19 pandemic in Australia]], the party has voiced support for establishing a zero-net immigration policy, similar to the one Australia had introduced during the pandemic. One Nation supports permitting only highly skilled migrants from culturally cohesive countries to settle in Australia.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.onenation.org.au/immigration | title=Immigration | access-date=5 November 2020 | archive-date=21 February 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220221085632/https://www.onenation.org.au/immigration | url-status=live }}</ref>

===The economy and employment===
One Nation supports a broadly protectionist platform, saying that it would review free trade agreements and revoke any "that are not in Australia's best interest", they also wish to reimplement import tariffs.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.onenation.org.au/united-nations-and-trade-agreements |title=United Nations and Trade Agreements |access-date=15 December 2021 |archive-date=15 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211215054703/https://www.onenation.org.au/united-nations-and-trade-agreements |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.onenation.org.au/trade | title=World Organisations and Trade Agreements }}</ref> It is opposed to foreign ownership of Australian agricultural land and businesses, as well as the privatisation of water assets.<ref name="onenation.org.au">{{Cite web |url=https://www.onenation.org.au/bringing-back-australian-values |title=Bringing Back Australian Values |access-date=5 November 2020 |archive-date=21 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201021044521/https://www.onenation.org.au/bringing-back-australian-values |url-status=live }}</ref> Wishing to prioritise jobs for Australian nationals, it would investigate "the abuse of foreign work visas."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.onenation.org.au/australian-jobs-and-infrastructure |title=Australian Jobs and Infrastructure |access-date=15 December 2021 |archive-date=15 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211215054721/https://www.onenation.org.au/australian-jobs-and-infrastructure |url-status=live }}</ref>

The party would move foreign-owned multinationals out of the corporation tax system and into a transactions based system, saying that too many of them pay no tax on profits made in Australia.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.onenation.org.au/tax-foreign-owned-multinationals |title=Tax – Foreign Owned Multinationals |access-date=15 December 2021 |archive-date=15 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211215060814/https://www.onenation.org.au/tax-foreign-owned-multinationals |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Domestic policies===
The party argues for the introduction of Citizens Initiated Referenda (CIR) and states it will review the salaries and pensions paid to Australian politicians. In 2021, the [[Australian Senate|Senate]] approved a motion tabled by [[Pauline Hanson]] which called on the federal government to reject the teaching of [[critical race theory]] in Australian schools.<ref name=gatwiri2021>{{cite web | last1=Gatwiri | first1=Kathomi | last2=Anderson | first2=Leticia | title=The Senate has voted to reject critical race theory from the national curriculum.

One Nation is broadly anti-abortion, particularly relating to late term abortions, with them favouring policies such as a gestational limit for abortions, banning sex-selective abortion, and doctors' rights to allow for them to object to performing such a procedure.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.onenation.org.au/pro-life | title=Pro-Life }}</ref>

One Nation members and parliamentarians have criticised the increasing use of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags alongside the Australian one.

=== Climate change ===
One Nation senators are frequent critics of any action on climate change and have called climate science a "scam". One Nation has spread debunked conspiracy theories about climate change not occurring or being part of a plot by the [[United Nations]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-09-14|title=Debunking Malcolm Roberts: the case against a climate science denier|url=http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/sep/14/debunking-malcolm-roberts-the-case-against-a-climate-science-denier|access-date=2022-02-18|website=the Guardian|language=en|archive-date=17 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220217033636/https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/sep/14/debunking-malcolm-roberts-the-case-against-a-climate-science-denier|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/one-nation-senator-malcolm-roberts-calls-for-ausexit-from-monster-united-nations-in-first-speech-20160914-grfojm.html| title = One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts calls for 'Aus-Exit' from 'monster' United Nations in first speech| date = 13 September 2016| access-date = 26 October 2021| archive-date = 26 October 2021| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20211026084232/https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/one-nation-senator-malcolm-roberts-calls-for-ausexit-from-monster-united-nations-in-first-speech-20160914-grfojm.html| url-status = live}}</ref> The party wants Australia to withdraw from the [[Paris Agreement|Paris Climate Accords]].<ref>{{cite web |title= Climate |url= https://www.onenation.org.au/climate |website= Pauline Hanson's One Nation |access-date= 12 March 2025}}</ref>

=== Voting system and preferences ===
In 2019, One Nation called for the abolition of [[full preferential voting]] in favour of [[optional preferential voting]] at [[Australian House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] elections. The announcement came shortly after [[Scott Morrison]] announced that the Liberal Party would preference One Nation behind Labor in several seats for the [[2019 Australian federal election|2019 federal election]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://shop.onenation.org.au/blogs/labor-ldp-plan-to-burn-cane-growers/one-nation-calls-to-abolish-preferences |title=One Nation calls to abolish preferences |access-date=21 March 2024 |archive-date=21 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240321041225/https://shop.onenation.org.au/blogs/labor-ldp-plan-to-burn-cane-growers/one-nation-calls-to-abolish-preferences |url-status=live }}</ref> In Australia, optional preferential voting is currently only used for [[New South Wales Legislative Assembly|Legislative Assembly]] elections in [[New South Wales]] and for council elections in most [[Ward (electoral subdivision)|ward]]ed [[List of local government areas in Queensland|local government area]]s in [[Queensland]].

One Nation is also against the use of [[group voting ticket]]s, which are currently only used for [[Victorian Legislative Council|Legislative Council]] elections in [[Victoria (state)|Victoria]]. The party has strongly criticised [[Glenn Druery]], a "preference whispererer" who founded the [[Minor Party Alliance]]. In the lead-up to the [[2022 Victorian state election|2022 state election]], Hanson claimed that Druery was [[Electoral fraud|rigging the election]] in favour of the incumbent state Labor government of [[Daniel Andrews]], after a leaked video showed that Druery was trying to create a crossbench that Labor could work with.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.onenation.org.au/election-scam-fighting-fund |title=Victorian Campaign Fighting Fund – Pauline Hanson's One Nation |access-date=21 March 2024 |archive-date=21 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240321041225/https://www.onenation.org.au/election-scam-fighting-fund |url-status=live }}</ref> Prior to the incident, in 2017, Druery admitted that he had been directing the preferences of micro-parties away from One Nation since 1999.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-04-04/preference-whisperer-glenn-druery-one-nation-micro-party-deals/8415276 |title='My hand on their electoral throat': Druery on One Nation vendetta |newspaper=ABC News |date=4 April 2017 |access-date=21 March 2024 |archive-date=21 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221121005027/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-04-04/preference-whisperer-glenn-druery-one-nation-micro-party-deals/8415276 |url-status=live }}</ref>
