Opinion: NRA videos show One Nation’s nationalism is up for sale
Pauline Hanson, leader of Australia's One Nation party, wore a burqa in Parliament in 2017 to argue in favor of a ban. By Richard Glover Richard Glover Bio Follow March 27 at 3:02 PM Every country has something of which it is particularly proud. In Australia, it’s gun control.
In another video, One Nation officials meet with representatives from Koch Industries, known for funding conservative causes. “It’s going to get down to money at the end of the day,” one of the men says in the recording. “We can change the voting system in our country, the way people operate, if we’ve got the money to do it.”
We want to be “in bed with the United States” was one the phrases used by One Nation representatives in the hidden-camera video, recorded by an undercover reporter for Al Jazeera news network. “If we could get that amount of money, imagine: We could change Australia,” says one of the men. Ever since One Nation emerged in the mid-1990s, it has provided a dilemma for Morrison’s party. Do you move your own policies to the right to steal the party’s ground, as was arguably done in the “Tampa” election of 2001?
It’s a tricky decision for Morrison. By placing One Nation last, he may deliver votes to his key rival, the Australian Labor Party. But failing to put One Nation last on how-to-vote cards will undercut his attack on a party he calls “abhorrent.”
