Hanson Revisits Mardi Gras Stance | Australia News

Pauline Hanson’s long-standing disdain for Sydney’s Mardi Gras remains unchanged, despite legalizing gay marriage and acknowledging its economic value — she still calls it unnatural and says she’ll never attend. Meanwhile, internal party chaos erupts after a candidate made anti-gay remarks, prompting her to distance herself while noting she hadn’t heard those views during his campaign. The contradiction deepens when another MP labels One Nation “one of the gayest parties in Australia.” Hanson also doubles down on migration, pushing for a cap of 130,000 annual arrivals — criticizing the current system as a farce — but insists backpacker visas must stay untouched to protect farmers. Her mix of cultural conservatism, policy rigidity, and baffling international ignorance continues to define her controversial leadership.
