Pauline Hanson fires up at Liberal Party’s ‘left leaning’ candidates ahead of Federal Election

Pauline Hanson has fired off at “left leaning” Liberals, vaccine mandates and Scott Morrison in a whirlwind interview with Alan Jones.

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has fired off at both major political parties for not supporting her policies, particularly criticising Scott Morrison for allowing left-leaning politicians into the Liberal Party.

Speaking with Alan Jones on his new on-demand news hour, the ever-polarising Hanson waded into a number of issues encapsulating the upcoming election, including transgender issues, vaccine mandates and dissenting voices in the Coalition.

Ms Hanson has previously claimed Labor is “rotten to its core” but believes the Liberals are “just as bad because they only pretend to fight for Australian values”.

Ms Hanson’s One Nation has fought to introduce bills targeting the “indoctrination in the educational system”, offering parents the ability to “question the ideology that is taught to children in regards to climate change and gender theory”.

However, Senator Hanson said she would support the traditionally left-wing Labor Party over the Liberals in six electorates across the country.

“I’ve targeted those that are left-leaning and need to be thrown out of the Liberal Party. They don’t belong there, they should be in the Greens Party,” she said.

When asked about her stance on Reid MP Fiona Martin, who has opposed her own government‘s stance on religious discrimination laws, Ms Hanson said: “I want her gone.”

She extended those sympathies to North Sydney MP Trent Zimmerman, who has been vocal against the transgender issue circulating the party following last month’s Katherine Deves media storm.

Last month, Mr Zimmerman said he “made very clear that I don’t support Katherine Deves’ comments at all” after a number of tweets were unearthed from the Warringah candidate’s now-deleted Twitter account.

Ms Hanson also said she’d “like to see Fiona Martin gone”.

Ms Hanson kicked off Alan Jones' new on-demand election show with a fiery spray aimed at Scott Morrison and the more progressive candidates within the Liberal Party.

The Reid MP, who has staunchly opposed the “far-right” portion of the Liberal Party, recently claimed her decision to cross the floor over an amendment to the sex discrimination act and her advocacy of net-zero admissions had attracted heavy criticism from conservatives.

“Even the Liberal members themselves are furious with Morrison because he’s hand-picked a lot of these candidates to stand in these seats,” Ms Hanson continued.

Hanson also took aim at the Prime Minister for placing One Nation below Labor in his own electorate, claiming the current establishment is attempting to bury her party.

In regards to issues close to home, Ms Hanson said she would be targeting the rise of the cost of living and its effects on regional Queensland.

“It‘s about their cost of living. It’s about the coal industry or mining in general because it relies very much on rural and regional areas on the mining sector,” she said.

“You’ve got the housing crisis that’s going on and providing services in rural and regional Australians. That means doctors, nurses, professionals, and nurses.”

She also tore into vaccine mandates after a quick change of topic from Jones, who asked her if she had received a Covid-19 jab yet.

Pauline Hanson targeted several within the Liberal Party she believes should be axed.

“No, and I‘m not going to have it Alan,” she said.

“I’m very careful what I put into my body. I don’t intend to listen to bureaucrats or politicians or the UN or WHO (World Health Organisation) pushing their own agenda and taking away my freedoms, my rights and my choices.

“That’s why I’m fighting this issue. What should happen to any worker who has lost his or her job because they weren’t vaccinated?”

“And I’m putting in a call to all the premiers out there: They must get over this, this stupidity that’s going on. Give back the workers their jobs, the teachers, the nurses, doctors, paramedics, everyone, firefighters, police that are denied the right to actually work in this country and stop bringing foreign workers into your country.

“So I’m putting out a plea to all these people promote this vaccine mandates is one of the biggest issues that’s going to hit this election and the political parties will feel the brunt of that.”
