Hanson tells Taylor to stop 'denigrating' One Nation

Pauline Hanson has called on opposition leader Angus Taylor to cease his criticism of her party, One Nation, following his most significant rebuke of the right-wing group. Taylor had previously described One Nation's platform as potentially costing Australia over a trillion dollars and leading to prolonged suffering if enacted.

In a video message posted on social media from London, Hanson expressed disappointment with Taylor's remarks. She stated, "Angus, I'm not your enemy. We both need to get rid of the Labor, the Greens government, that toxic garbage." Hanson appealed for collaboration, suggesting they share the common goal of removing the current government.

Taylor, in a speech to The Sydney Institute, had characterized One Nation's policies as a "column of smoke" and warned of dire economic consequences. Without naming Hanson directly, he implied that her party's potential rise to power could result in "an eternity of pain" for the nation.

Hanson countered these criticisms by accusing Taylor of adopting One Nation's policy ideas in his own budget-in-reply speech in May. She suggested that his public attacks were unwarranted, given their shared objective of opposing the incumbent government. The exchange highlights the ongoing political maneuvering and strategic alliances within Australia's political landscape.
