Shortly after being elected to federal parliament, Hanson formed the One Nation party with co-founders David Oldfield and David Ettridge. During the formative days of One Nation, Oldfield was employed by Liberal Party backbench MP [[Tony Abbott]] as a political advisor.<ref name=ABCONtimeline/> One Nation was launched on 11 April 1997, at an event held in [[Ipswich, Queensland]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/pm/stories/s127439.htm|title=One Nation re-emerges on political radar (transcript)|work=[[PM (Australian radio program)|PM]]|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|date=16 May 2000|access-date=29 March 2019|archive-date=30 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190330072001/http://www.abc.net.au/pm/stories/s127439.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> The party was officially registered by the [[Australian Electoral Commission]] (AEC) on 27 June.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/240234619|title=Australian Electoral Commission: Notice of registration|work=[[Commonwealth of Australia Gazette]]|date=9 July 1997|access-date=29 March 2019|issue=GN27|page=1880|archive-date=6 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190406153419/https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/240234619|url-status=live}}</ref>

===1998: First elections===
[[File:1998 Queensland election - PHON Vote Strength.svg|thumb|341x341px|Percentage of first preference votes for One Nation in each electorate.]]
The [[1998 Queensland state election]] produced One Nation's greatest electoral success, with the ALP winning 44 seats to be the largest party in the Assembly, the Coalition winning 32 seats and One Nation winning 11 seats. During the campaign, polling for One Nation led to commentators saying One Nation might secure the balance of power in a hung parliament.<ref name="1998 government stats">{{cite web |last1=Newman |first1=Gerard |title=1998 Queensland Election – Current Issues Brief 2 1998–99 |url=https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_Library/Publications_Archive/CIB/cib9899/99CIB02 |website=Parliament of Australia |publisher=Australian Government |access-date=4 November 2020 |archive-date=4 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201104022304/https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_Library/Publications_Archive/CIB/cib9899/99CIB02 |url-status=live }}</ref> During the campaign, all three major political parties suffered a decline in voter support due to One Nation having entered the fray. The National Party saw an 11.1% drop in support, their Liberal Party coalition partners lost 6.7% and Labor's vote dropped 4.0%.<ref name="1998 government stats"/> To the surprise of many pundits, the One Nation Party received 22.7% of the first preference vote, giving them the second largest voter turnout for any party in Queensland during the 1998 election. One Nation drew the majority of its support from regional and rural Queensland, winning nine of its 11 seats in rural and regional electorates.<ref name="1998 government stats"/> 

With nearly 23% of the vote, One Nation gained a higher percentage of the vote than any other third party (i.e. not Labor or [[Coalition (Australia)|Coalition]]) at the state or territory level since Federation. This was also the only election at which a third party gained more votes than both the [[Liberal Party of Australia (Queensland Division)|Liberal Party]] and the [[National Party of Australia – Queensland|National Party]] considered separately.

Subsequently, the One Nation contingent in the Queensland Parliament split, with dissident members forming the rival [[City Country Alliance|City-Country Alliance]] in late 1999.<ref name="apg">{{Cite book |title=Australian Politics and Government: The Commonwealth, the States and Territories |last=Wanna |first=John |editor-first=Campbell |editor-last=Moon |editor2-first=Jeremy |editor2-last=Sharman |chapter=Queensland |year=2003 |publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]] |location=Cambridge, United Kingdom |isbn=0521825075 |page=92 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=37Sel9HEYgUC |access-date=26 July 2012 |archive-date=18 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230218222009/https://books.google.com/books?id=37Sel9HEYgUC |url-status=live }}</ref>

At the [[1998 Australian federal election|1998 federal election]], Hanson contested the new seat of [[Division of Blair|Blair]] after a redistribution effectively split Oxley in half.

Political scientists [[Ian McAllister (political scientist)|Ian McAllister]] and Clive Bean, in an analysis of the 1998 federal election, found that although it was assumed that One Nation supporters came from a traditionally conservative demographic, instead:
{{Blockquote|"in a number of significant respects it in fact tends more towards [[Australian Labor Party|Labor's]] profile instead. One Nation support, for example, comes disproportionately from manual workers, trade union members, those who describe themselves as working class, the less well educated, men and people who never attend church – a list of characteristics which comes close to defining the archetypal Labor voter … [The evidence] suggests that it is Labor-style voters in rural areas – rather than the much more predominantly urban Labor voter – who are chiefly attracted to One Nation"<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Clive |first1=Bean |last2=McAllister |first2=Ian |editor1-last=Simms |editor1-first=M |editor2-last=Warhurst |editor2-first=J |title=Howard's Agenda: The 1998 Australian Election |date=2000 |publisher=University of Queensland Press |page=181 |chapter=Voting Behaviour}}</ref>}}

Within a year of One Nation's electoral success, three of the 11 Queensland MPs elected had quit the party claiming the leadership had too much control over the party.<ref name=ABCONtimeline/>

==== Internal disputes and claims of corruption ====
The party was affected by internal divisions and has split several times.  Lawsuits involving ex-members did eventually force Hanson to repay approximately $500,000 of public funding won at the 1998 Queensland election amid claims by Abbott that the party was fraudulently registered. Abbott established a trust fund called "Australians for Honest Politics Trust" to help bankroll civil court cases against the party.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/09/02/1062403506222.html |title=AEC defends handling of Abbott slush fund – National |newspaper=Sydney Morning Herald |date=2 September 2003 |access-date=8 January 2017 |archive-date=22 February 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170222063812/http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/09/02/1062403506222.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The suits alleged that the party was undemocratically constituted in order to concentrate all power in the hands of three people—Hanson, Ettridge and Oldfield (in particular Oldfield)—and that it technically had only two members: Ettridge and Hanson. Even though Hanson's fraud charges were dropped, the Electoral Commission of Queensland never reimbursed Hanson for the monies that they collected from the claim.<ref name=ABCONtimeline/>

The first Annual General Meeting of the One Nation party was held in April 1999, which critic Paul Reynolds said demonstrated that One Nation lacked organisation.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Rutherford|first1=Jennifer|title=One Love Too Many: The Undoing of Pauline Hanson|journal=[[Australian Journal of Politics and History]]|date=June 2001|volume=47|issue=2|pages=192–208|doi=10.1111/1467-8497.00227}}</ref>

At the [[1999 New South Wales state election]], [[David Oldfield (politician)|David Oldfield]] was elected to the [[New South Wales Legislative Council]]. In October 2000, Hanson expelled Oldfield from the party after a disagreement.<ref name=ABCONtimeline/> His expulsion created even more instability in a party which was constantly embroiled in scandal and internal strife. Oldfield attacked Hanson publicly, saying that "everything including her maiden speech and every word of any consequence that she's said since, has actually been written for her".<ref name=ABCONtimeline/> Oldfield engineered a split within the party, creating [[One Nation NSW]], in 2001.<ref name=ABCONtimeline/> The new party took advantage of electoral party registration laws to register itself as a political party under the 'One Nation' name with the NSW electoral commission, and achieved registration in April 2002.<ref name=ABCONtimeline/>

At the [[2001 Western Australian state election]] One Nation won three seats in the state, however the party was reduced to 3 seats the same year at the [[2001 Queensland state election]]. During the [[2001 Australian federal election]], the party's vote fell from 9% to 5.5%. Hanson failed in her bid to win a Senate seat from Queensland, despite polling a strong 10% of the primary vote. Hanson also failed to win a seat in the [[New South Wales Legislative Council]].<ref name=ABCONtimeline/>

==== Electoral fraud charges ====
In 2001, disendorsed One Nation candidate Terry Sharples accused the party of not having the 500 members needed for registration, and called for the party to be deregistered, which was carried by the Supreme Court. Hanson appealed the verdict but was unsuccessful.<ref>{{Cite book |url=http://www.ccc.qld.gov.au/research-and-publications/publications/misconduct/the-prosecution-of-pauline-hanson-and-david-ettridge-a-report-on-an-inquiry-into-issues-raised-in-a-resolution-of-parliament.pdf |title=The prosecution of Pauline Hanson and David Ettridge: a report on an inquiry into issues raised in a resolution of Parliament |date=January 2004 |publisher=Crime and Misconduct Commission |access-date=8 January 2017 |isbn=1-876986-21-2 }}{{Dead link|date=June 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Hanson appeared before the [[Brisbane Magistrates Court]] to face charges of [[electoral fraud]], that same year. Hanson pleaded not guilty to the charges, claiming that she was being subjected to "a political witch-hunt." While court hearings proceeded, Hanson ran for a seat in the NSW Upper House as an independent, but only received 1.9 per cent of the vote.<ref name=ABCONtimeline/>

Both Ettridge and Hanson were found guilty of fraudulently registering One Nation and obtaining more than $500,000 from the AEC, in 2003. Crown lawyers accused them both of falsely claiming more than 500 people were party members when they were not truly members. Hanson was sentenced to three years in jail, stating outside the court that the verdict was "Rubbish, I'm not guilty... it's a joke".<ref name=ABCONtimeline/>

It was later disclosed that Abbott had been working behind the scenes to take Ettridge and Hanson down, meeting with several disgruntled One Nation members including Sharples. On November 6 of that same year, Hanson was released from prison after successfully appealing her conviction; she was acquitted on all counts.<ref name=ABCONtimeline/>

=== 2004–2013: Electoral decline ===
At the [[2004 Queensland state election]], One Nation polled less than 5% of the vote and its sole elected representative, [[Rosa Lee Long]], acted as an independent. One Nation attempted to defend its Queensland Senate seat at the [[2004 Australian federal election|2004 federal election]], but lost it (effectively to the National Party). Len Harris's Senate term expired on 30 June 2005.<ref name="sen04">{{Cite web|url=http://results.aec.gov.au/12246/results/SenateStateFirstPrefs-12246-QLD.htm|title=First Preferences by Candidate – Queensland|author=Australian Electoral Commission|date=9 November 2005|access-date=7 August 2007|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070829153803/http://results.aec.gov.au/12246/results/SenateStateFirstPrefs-12246-QLD.htm|archive-date=29 August 2007}}</ref>

On 8 February 2005, One Nation lost federal party status but was re-registered in time for the [[2007 Australian federal election|2007 federal election]]. It still had state parties in Queensland and New South Wales. Subsequently, it created another state party in Western Australia. In the February [[2005 Western Australian state election]], the One Nation vote collapsed.<ref name=ABCONtimeline/>

In the [[2006 South Australian state election]], six One Nation candidates stood for the lower house. Their highest levels of the primary vote was 4.1% in the district of [[electoral district of Hammond|Hammond]] and 2.7% in [[electoral district of Goyder|Goyder]], with the other four hovering around 1%. They attracted 0.8% (7559 votes) of the upper house vote. One Nation consequently won no seats in that election.<ref name=ABCONtimeline/>

In the [[2006 Queensland state election]], the party contested four of 89 seats, and its vote collapsed. It suffered a swing of 4.3% to be left with just 0.6% of the vote. Its only remaining seat in the state (and country), [[Electoral district of Tablelands|Tablelands]], was retained with an increased majority by [[Rosa Lee Long]].<ref>[http://www.abc.net.au/elections/qld/2006/results/tabl.htm 2006 Queensland Election.

In the [[2012 Queensland state election]] the party unsuccessfully contested six seats.

=== 2013–2015: Hanson's return as leader ===
Hanson rejoined One Nation as a [[wikt:rank and file|rank-and-file]] member in 2013. Later that year, she unsuccessfully contested the [[Australian Senate|Senate]] for [[New South Wales]] at the [[2013 Australian federal election|2013 federal election]].

In March 2017, the [[High Court of Australia|High Court]] ruled that Culleton's election to the Senate was invalid in any event because of a criminal conviction in New South Wales.

Hanson drew widespread condemnation when she wore the full Islamic dress into Senate Question Time, before calling for the burqa to be banned in Australia.

On 15 October 2018, a Senate motion brought by the party stating "it is OK to be white" was defeated 31–28 in a vote.

In the lead-up to the [[2025 Australian federal election]], pollsters recorded an increase in One Nations primary vote, particularly near the end of the campaign period where the party began to come close to or surpass their result at the [[1998 Australian federal election]]. One Nation ran 147 candidates in the House of Representatives, and a Senate team for each state and territory except for the [[Australian Capital Territory]]. One Nation won 6.4% of the vote in the House of Representatives, the second-best result for the party since its inception.<ref>https://tallyroom.aec.gov.au/HouseStateFirstPrefsByParty-31496-NAT.htm</ref>

In May 2025, South Australian MLC Sarah Game quit the party, citing brand issues associated with One Nation, it came after her mother and leader of One Nation in South Australia, Jennifer Game, resigned from the party after she was not chosen to head the party ticket in the Legislative Council for the [[2026 South Australian state election]].<ref>https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-20/sarah-game-departure-leaves-one-nation-in-limbo-in-sa/105308712</ref>

===Early years===
In its early years, One Nation's policies were said to be synonymous with opposition to [[affirmative action]] for Aboriginal communities. Some key themes of Pauline Hanson's 1998 maiden speech were opposition to what she said were increasingly high rates of immigration from Asian countries and an argument for [[economic protectionism|economic protectionist]] policies.<ref name="auto"/><ref name="Charlton, P 1998">Charlton, P. 1998. Full Circle. ''[[The Courier-Mail]]'', 13 June 1998.</ref> 

During its inception, One Nation rallied against [[Liberal Party of Australia|Liberal]] and [[Australian Labor Party|Labor]] immigration and multicultural policies which, it argued, were leading to "the Asianisation of Australia."<ref name="auto">{{Cite web |author=Malcolm Farnsworth |url=http://www.australianpolitics.com/parties/onenation/immigration-policy-98.shtml |title=One Nation's Immigration, Population and Social Cohesion Policy 1998 |access-date=19 September 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030702185221/http://www.australianpolitics.com/parties/onenation/immigration-policy-98.shtml |archive-date=2 July 2003  }}</ref>

Writer [[Hans-Georg Betz]] described One Nation and Pauline Hanson in 2019 as among "the first prominent radical right-wing populist entrepreneurs to mobilize popular resentment against a very specific target — the intellectual elite" and that in the twenty-first century where "today's army of self-styled commentators and pundits summarily dismissing radical right-wing populist voters as uncouth, uneducated plebeians intellectually incapable of understanding the blessings of progressive identity politics, Hanson's anti-elite rhetoric anno 1996 proved remarkably prescient, if rather tame." Betz also argued that One Nation differs from [[Radical right (Europe)|European right-wing parties]] by focusing on its own brand of populism which he termed ''[[Hansonism]]'' based on Hanson's personality and debates unique to Australian society.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.fairobserver.com/region/asia_pacific/pauline-hanson-one-nation-australia-populist-politics-news-78645/|title=Australia's Own Brand of Radical Populism|date=20 June 2019|access-date=21 November 2020|archive-date=25 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201125235836/https://www.fairobserver.com/region/asia_pacific/pauline-hanson-one-nation-australia-populist-politics-news-78645/|url-status=live}}</ref>

==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>

However, in 2021, One Nation MLC Mark Latham said that vaccinated people should be exempt from Sydney's COVID-19 lockdown.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.2gb.com/mark-latham-wants-the-vaccinated-exempt-from-sydneys-lockdown/ | title=Mark Latham wants the vaccinated exempt from Sydney's lockdown | date=21 July 2021 | access-date=22 April 2022 | archive-date=8 December 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211208184300/https://www.2gb.com/mark-latham-wants-the-vaccinated-exempt-from-sydneys-lockdown/ | url-status=live }}</ref>

One Nation introduced legislation in 2021 pertaining to Covid-19 mandates, with the bill proposing banning discrimination on Covid-19 vaccination status in the fields of goods, services, facilities, employment, education, accommodation and sport. It was supported by 5 Liberal-National senators, it was not passed.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/nov/22/one-nation-anti-vaccine-mandate-bill-rejected-despite-support-from-five-coalition-senators | title=One Nation anti-vaccine mandate bill rejected despite support from five Coalition senators | newspaper=The Guardian | date=22 November 2021 | last1=Karp | first1=Paul | last2=Martin | first2=Sarah }}</ref>

=== 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>

===Other===
In March 2025, Hanson said the party wants Australia to leave the United Nations, the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO), and the [[World Economic Forum]], cut funding for the [[National Disability Insurance Scheme]] and abolish the [[National Indigenous Australians Agency]] and the Department of Climate Change.<ref>{{cite news |last= Wong |first= Kat |date= 20 March 2025 |title= One Nation: Pauline Hanson eyes cuts on alcohol tax, climate spending as she sharpens her election policies |url= https://thenightly.com.au/politics/one-nation-pauline-hanson-eyes-cuts-on-alcohol-tax-climate-spending-as-she-sharpens-her-election-policies-c-18105325 |work= [[The Nightly]] |access-date= 27 March 2025}}</ref>

==Voter base==
Surveys of voters at the 1998 federal election and the 1998 Queensland state election found One Nation voters were more likely than other voters to be male, residents of rural electorates, blue-collar workers and firearm owners.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=One Nation's Electoral Support: Where Does It Come From, What Makes It Different and How Does It Fit?|journal=Australian Journal of Politics & History|first=Ian|last=Watson|volume=47|number=2 |year=2001|url=https://www.ianwatson.com.au/pubs/one%20nations%20electoral%20support.pdf |access-date=21 March 2024 |archive-date=13 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240313130922/http://ianwatson.com.au/pubs/one%20nations%20electoral%20support.pdf |url-status=live |page=168}}</ref> On measurements of political views, One Nation voters were distinguished by their anti-immigrant and anti-Aboriginal sentiments and by their dissatisfaction with or alienation from the political environment. On metrics of union membership, economic insecurity and identification as members of the working class, One Nation voters were nearly identical to Labor voters.{{sfn|Watson|2001|p=169}} However, a clear majority of One Nation voters were former Liberal and National voters rather than former Labor voters.{{sfn|Watson|2001|p=183}}

One Nation has historically performed best in regions where the Labor Party once performed well in, but in recent years have been trending more to the right over policies regarding mining and climate change. The regions where One Nation has seen the most electoral success are the [[Central Queensland]], [[Darling Downs]] and [[Wide Bay–Burnett]] regions of [[Queensland]] and the [[Hunter Valley]] region of [[New South Wales]], all of which are working-class regions that have historically relied on [[coal mining]] as part of their local economy, and all were once strongholds for the Labor Party.{{cn|date=October 2024}}

==Leaders==
===Federal===
Unlike the Queensland state leadership, the changes of the federal leadership of the party were largely undocumented (besides Hanson's terms), due to previously having low media attention and confusion of branch leadership within the party.

In August 2017, the party's constitution was changed so that Hanson would be party President for as long as she may wish, and to choose her successor, who may also continue until resignation.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/may/13/pauline-hanson-written-into-one-nation-constitution-as-effective-president-for-life|title=Pauline Hanson written into One Nation constitution as effective president for life|work=The Guardian|date=13 May 2018|access-date=13 May 2018|archive-date=12 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180512232539/https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/may/13/pauline-hanson-written-into-one-nation-constitution-as-effective-president-for-life|url-status=live}}</ref>
