Senator Switches Parties Over Policy Gaps | Australia News

Former Liberal Senator Hollie Hughes has made a dramatic switch to One Nation, accusing the Liberal Party of losing its way and abandoning key issues like autism support and palliative care — highlighted by the absence of MPs at critical events. She claims One Nation, despite staffing hurdles and media bias, offers real policy solutions where other parties fall short, defending Pauline Hanson against unfair criticism. While not yet committing to re-entering politics, Hughes is fully engaged in shaping One Nation’s future, citing strong groundswell in Victoria and NSW as proof of her new party’s momentum.
