澳大利亚极右政党One Nation领导人Pauline Hanson宣布了该党在维多利亚州的州长候选人[1]。43岁的Warren Pickering将代表One Nation竞争帕肯汉姆选区，该选区目前由工党议员Emma Vulin持有，领先优势仅0.4%[1]。维多利亚州选举将于11月28日举行[1]。
在宣布会上，Hanson禁止ABC、《卫报》和《年代报》参加，声称对这些媒体的报道方式感到不满[1]。Hanson表示："我不能忍受他们的垃圾，我不能忍受他们的旋转、谎言"[1]。随后，Pickering宣布将对"基于捏造的候选人的明显人身攻击"采取法律行动[1]。
最新的Newspoll民调显示，One Nation的支持率为19%，工党为28%，反对党为31%[1]。此外，One Nation党内高层人事有所调整，James Ashby从Hanson的幕僚长调任党全国主任，Chris Taylor接替成为Hanson的新幕僚长[1]。
One Nation has unveiled Warren Pickering, 43, as its Victorian state election candidate for the Pakenham electorate [1]. Pickering will challenge incumbent Labor MP Emma Vulin, whose seat carries a narrow margin of just 0.4% [1]. The Victorian state election is scheduled for November 28 [1].
Party leader Pauline Hanson barred ABC, The Guardian, and The Age from attending the candidate announcement, citing dissatisfaction with their coverage [1]. Hanson stated: "I cannot stand their garbage, I cannot stand their spin, their lies" [1]. In response, Pickering indicated he would pursue legal action against what he characterized as "apparent personal attacks on the candidate based on fabrications" [1].
One Nation's support stands at 19% according to the latest Newspoll, compared with 28% for Labor and 31% for the Coalition [1]. The party has promoted James Ashby from Hanson's chief of staff to national director, with Chris Taylor taking over as Hanson's new chief of staff [1].
