This afternoon in the Senate, every One Nation senator stood with me to turn our backs on the divisive and increasingly forced Acknowledgement of Country. I’ve made this protest on my own for years, but today, our whole team made it clear: we’ve had enough of being told we don’t belong in our own country. We took this stand because we’re listening to Australians, hardworking, decent people who are sick of being lectured to in their own country. They’re tired of being made to feel like outsiders. Tired of tokenistic rituals shoved into every meeting, every ceremony, every public event, while real issues like the cost of living and housing are brushed aside. There were at least three acknowledgements performed in Parliament today that I’m aware of. These divisive performances aren’t about respect anymore. They’ve become a political routine that divides rather than unites. We’re not here to tiptoe around activist expectations. We’re here to speak for the people who’ve had enough. One Nation will always stand up for everyday Australians and we won’t back down.
