Her Story

From Ipswich to History

✦ ✦ ✦

Seventy-two years, four children, a fish and chip shop, and a lifetime of standing up. A beautiful lover of Australia whose heart beats green and gold — here are the milestones.

27 May 1954

A Brisbane girl is born

Pauline Lee Seccombe is born in Woolloongabba, Brisbane — the fifth of seven children of Jack and Norah Seccombe.

Childhood

Raised behind the counter

Her family ran a fish and chip shop in Ipswich, where Pauline and her siblings worked from a young age — preparing meals, taking orders and, as she grew older, helping keep the accounts.

1980s–1996

A true small-business battler

A devoted mum of four, Pauline ran a plumbing business, a potato chip processing business and then a fish and chip shop in Silkstone, Ipswich — while also raising cattle as a primary producer.

The Oxley miracle

Given little chance, Pauline wins Oxley — then the safest Labor seat in Queensland — with 54% of the two-candidate vote, and enters Parliament as an independent. One Nation notes she was the first woman ever elected as an independent to the House of Representatives.

What she stands for

Australia First

★ ★ ★

Australia’s fiercest defender, and the causes she fights for. Plain-English summaries of Pauline's and One Nation's published policies — in her own words where she has said it best. Full details at onenation.org.au.

Cost of living relief

Real help for families: aim to slash power bills by 20% immediately, halve the fuel excise to 26 cents a litre for three years, let aged and veteran pensioners earn more without penalty, lift the tax-free threshold to $35,000 for self-funded retirees, and raise the Medicare rebate to support bulk billing.

“I may be only 'a fish and chip shop lady', but some of these economists need to get their heads out of the textbooks and get a job in the real world.”— Pauline Hanson, Maiden speech, 10 Sep 1996 · source
Source: One Nation – Cost of living

Reliable, affordable energy

End “net zero”, back baseload coal and gas, and support nuclear in the medium term — including three new high-efficiency ultra-supercritical coal plants at former power-station sites such as Collinsville (Qld) and Port Augusta (SA).

“Australia’s energy policy must keep the lights on, protect Australian jobs, and put Australians first.”— One Nation energy policy · source
Source: One Nation – 'Net zero' is destroying Australia · One Nation – Embracing Australian coal · One Nation – Cost of living

Lower immigration, more breathing space

Net-negative migration for three years — cutting more than 750,000 temporary visas — then a ceiling of 130,000 a year, to ease pressure on housing, rents and services. Deport visa holders who break the law.

“Vested interests and elite economists will shriek at the prospect of these cuts. But Canada has shown you can cut migrant numbers, take pressure off rents and still grow the economy.”— Pauline Hanson, Statement, 14 Sep 2026 (SMH) · source
Source: One Nation – Net-negative migration plan · ABC News, 14 Sep 2026 – migration plan · One Nation – Immigration

One people, one nation, one flag

Pauline stood for equal citizenship and campaigned for No in the 2023 Voice referendum — and Australians agreed, voting No in every state.

“To survive in peace and harmony, united and strong, we must have one people, one nation, one flag.”— Pauline Hanson, Maiden speech, 10 Sep 1996 · source
Source: AEC – 2023 Referendum national results · Wikipedia – Pauline Hanson

Fair family law

Kids deserve both parents. A fairer child support system that supports the children, respect for grandparents' rights, and less costly, adversarial court action. Pauline co-chaired the 2019 family law inquiry.

“Children have a right to have both parents involved in their life if the mother and father are deemed to be fit and able.”— One Nation family law policy · source
Source: One Nation – Family Law and Child Support · Wikipedia – Pauline Hanson

Farmers & the bush

Keep Aussie farmland in Aussie hands: ban further sales of freehold farmland to foreign investors, cap foreign leaseholds at 25 years, re-establish a government-backed rural lending fund for droughts, and build water security such as the Hells Gate Dam near Townsville.

Source: One Nation – Farming · One Nation – Water

Free speech

Protect free speech in the Constitution and repeal laws and bodies that silence Australians.

“A free country depends on free speech.”— One Nation free speech policy · source
Source: One Nation – Free Speech Policy

Standing with licensed firearm owners

A licensed gun owner herself, Pauline stands up for farmers, sporting shooters and hunters who follow the law. One Nation opposes ownership caps, reclassification and government buybacks that punish compliant owners, and wants tough penalties for illegal guns and gun crime instead.

“I'm backing law-abiding Australians and their right to own guns.”— Pauline Hanson, Dubbo, August 2026 (Daily Liberal) · source
Source: 7NEWS, 16 Aug 2026 – Hanson takes aim at NSW gun buyback · Daily Liberal (Dubbo), 16 Aug 2026 – Hanson's Dubbo speech · One Nation – Firearms Ownership

Let pensioners work and keep their pension

Under One Nation's policy, aged and veteran pensioners could work and earn as much as they like without their pension being cut. Their wages would be taxed like any other worker's — but the pension they earned would be left alone.

“These Australians have earned their pensions after decades of hard work and service to this nation. They should be able to supplement their income with work if they want to, and without those pensions being impacted.”— Pauline Hanson, Statement, January 2025 (One Nation) · source
Source: One Nation – Remove limits on pensioners’ and veterans’ earnings · The Senior – One Nation pension work policy · One Nation – Cost of living

Jobs & apprenticeships

Aussie jobs first: apprentice wage subsidies of 75% in year one, 50% in year two and 25% in year three, tied to nation-building water, rail, road and energy projects — and full-time jobs over casualisation.

Source: One Nation – Jobs and Infrastructure

Slash government waste

Savings of up to $90 billion a year — including abolishing the Department of Climate Change and withdrawing from the UN, WHO and Paris Agreement.

Source: One Nation – Slash Government Waste

Law & order (Victoria 2026)

More police (including recruiting ADF veterans), more magistrates, a 24-hour bail court and three new magistrates' courts in Melbourne's outer suburbs.

“What I've provided is a vehicle; now you are the engine, now you drive it.”— Pauline Hanson, Victorian campaign launch, 3 Oct 2026 (ABC) · source

Standing By Our Diggers

★ ★ ★

Pauline never wavered. On the very day Ben Roberts-Smith VC MG was arrested, she said publicly that she would not abandon him — and she has stood by him and his family ever since.

7 April 2026 — “I will not abandon him”

On the very day Ben Roberts-Smith was arrested at Sydney Airport, Pauline spoke up for him and his family.

“I remain steadfast in my support of Ben Roberts-Smith despite news of his arrest today. Ben, his immediate and broader defence family need the Australian people's support right now and I will not abandon him like so many other politicians.”— Pauline Hanson, Statement on social media, 7 Apr 2026 · source

May 2026 — Loyal on the campaign trail

During the Farrer by-election, One Nation put up signs authorised by Pauline backing Ben Roberts-Smith, making sure veterans in the electorate knew where the party stood.

“One Nation is the only party which has expressed support for Ben Roberts-Smith and we're making sure voters in Farrer — where many veterans live — know it.”— One Nation spokesperson, May 2026 (ABC) · source

7 June 2026 — “I've been there”

Speaking to his supporters in Brisbane, Pauline called him a person she respects and admires, and drew on her own experience of facing a criminal trial before her convictions were quashed in 2003.

“I've been in Ben Roberts-Smith's shoes, as far as facing a criminal trial. I've been there, and it's a distressing time, especially when you know you're innocent, and I think Ben needs to know that people are supportive of him.”— Pauline Hanson, Brisbane, 7 Jun 2026 (ABC) · source

Ben Roberts-Smith VC MG was awarded the Victoria Cross for Australia and the Medal for Gallantry. He lost his civil defamation case against Nine's newspapers: in June 2023 the Federal Court found the main allegations substantially true on the balance of probabilities, the Full Federal Court dismissed his appeal in May 2025, and the High Court refused special leave to appeal on 4 September 2025. In April 2026 he was charged with five counts of the war crime of murder, which he denies. He has not entered pleas, is on bail, and no trial date has been set. He has not been convicted of any criminal offence and is presumed innocent.
