There have been many articles regarding the lackadaisical infrastructure of Hanson’s One Nation Party & the dubious quality of past MPs, past candidates & current ON MPs. I have written about the history of certain individuals related to ON, as has The Saturday Paper & now the Guardian. Why write this stuff? Because it’s historical fact & gives us an insight into the inner workings - or nonworkings of One Nation, the collective mindset of participants & the questionable values of those in charge of the party. Facts & data. Backed up, unlike ON AI online bot rage baiting. If anyone worth their salt & credibility with an ounce of critical thinking skills wants to take it seriously, we should be alarmed at the prospect of a dumb-nation Gina-tangerine dream materialising within cooee of the corridors of power in this country. The Guardian here writes about the timeline of One Nation instability. “More than half of the One Nation MPs elected to state and federal parliaments have left the party before the end of their term - with 28 of the 51 people elected under Pauline Hanson’s banner either resigning midterm or expelled”. That’s not only a party infrastructure & management problem, that’s a people problem. What’s wrong with a party who can’t hold onto its people, with an insurmountable number of those people with their own issues & dubious qualities. Is that a party that is remotely capable of governance & creating credible policy to attempt to govern a nation for everyone? So far their track record shows that they are merely interested in power for the perks - & are more than willing to be bankrolled by a billionaire to receive more perks in a likely quid pro quo arrangement of mutual benefit. “The Guardian analysis shows that One Nation has a history of chaos and instability”. FACT. -All 11 ON MPs elected in the 1998 QLD election resigned or left the party. Antony Green has a separate list on his summary of ON representation. -David Oldfield, ON cofounder, is expelled from the party. -All 3 WA ON MLCs leave the party in 2004. -Rosa Lee Long loses her seat in 2009 QLD election. She was so quiet most of the time we didn’t know she was there. Until she wasn’t. -Between 2009 & 2015 ON has no elected representatives nationally. -Hanson after saying she was finished with politics after trying unsuccessfully to get back into politics several times - finally hits the Senate jackpot in 2016. -Malcom Roberts is also elected in 2016 & then is subsequently disqualified. -Fraser Anning takes Malcolm’s place & leaves ON 3 days later. -In 2019 Mark Latham was elected for ON into the NSW Upper House. -Latham resigned from ON in 2023 and was sacked as ON party leader by Hanson in 2023. -Malcolm Roberts gets lucky & gets back into the Senate gravy train in 2019. -Tania Mihailuk resigned from ON in 2024. She was the last ON MP in NSW. -Rod Cullerton, ON WA senator quit ON in 2016, “citing “un-Australian behaviour”. -SA MLC Sarah Game resigned from ON in 2025 citing “problems with the way the party’s brand was perceived”. -Brian Burston was elected into Fed senate in 2016. After a dispute with Hanson he resigned & joined UAP. He was voted out in 2019. -Rod Roberts, ON MP elected to NSW Upper House in 2027, resigned from ON in 2023. He is now an Independent. This doesn’t include the WA ON defections, departures and defeats over the years, plus the QLD defection from LNP to ON by Steve Dickson - who was subsequently defeated. The story of QLD ON Stephen Andrew who was elected in 2017 is a complicated and drawn-out saga worth looking up. I’ve likely missed a few. There are too many to mention - and then there’s the line up of questionable candidates, which I have linked here from a previous post. This is not misinformation, this is all FACT. Something that I can guarantee One Nation and their sycophants rarely deal in. To know a party historically is to know what we would be in for in the future. Pay attention to it.
