‘Wouldn’t have been my choice’: Farage praises Hanson, but breaks with her on right-wing podcast
On July 18, 2026, British right-wing populist Nigel Farage praised Australian politician Pauline Hanson for her resilience and strategic use of social media, while criticizing the Australian Liberal Party for losing direction. However, Farage expressed disapproval over Hanson's decision to participate in a podcast with far-right activist Tommy Robinson, who has a history of criminal convictions and controversial rhetoric. This followed a recent controversy involving Hanson and billionaire Gina Rinehart, who were attending a high-profile political gathering in London. The event, hosted by the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), saw Hanson meet with Farage and other conservative figures, including Mercedes Schlapp, a former White House communications director. Despite the positive remarks from Farage, internal dissent within Hanson's One Nation party emerged due to concerns over the podcast with Robinson. Hanson's top adviser, James Ashby, claimed the meeting was suggested by the Seven Network, though the network later denied this account.

In July 2026, a leaked audio recording of Australian politician Pauline Hanson speaking at a right-wing dinner in London revealed her strong views on migration and national identity. During her speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Hanson criticized global leaders for failing to protect nations from international influences and claimed that migration, particularly from Muslim communities, was undermining both Australia and Britain. While she expressed support for welcoming migrants who show loyalty to the country, she also emphasized the need for a strong national identity and warned against perceived threats to traditional values.

Pauline Hanson, leader of the One Nation party, has reignited discussions about the historical 'White Australia' policy, suggesting that its abolition in the 1970s led to current migration challenges. She claims that opening borders to non-European migrants caused societal issues, though she denies supporting the policy itself. Experts note that while the policy was officially dismantled in 1975, its legacy persists in ongoing debates about immigration. The policy, which favored European immigrants and excluded others through measures like the 1901 dictation test, was gradually phased out as Australia embraced multiculturalism.
