澳大利亚One Nation党议员Barnaby Joyce声称该党是澳洲"最gayest的政党"1,但这一表述与党内多名成员的相关言论形成鲜明对比。One Nation前西澳州候选人Parminder Singh曾称同性恋为"精神疾病"1,而该党西澳州参议员Tyron Whitten则表示"有男性、有女性,其他的都是精神疾病"1。
权益倡导组织对党内的矛盾立场提出质疑。Equality Australia法律主任Heather Corkhill指出:"很少能看到来自同一政党的政治人物同时宣称同性恋是精神疾病,又声称自己是澳洲最gay的政党"1。One Nation长期以来在多个关键议题上反对LGBTQI+权益:该党在2017年议会同性婚姻投票中弃权1,党领导人Hanson反对《Safe Schools》项目并持反变性人立场1,南澳州领导人Cory Bernardi曾将同性婚姻与兽交相联系1。不过,该党最新议员Jason Virgo是同性恋成员,曾支持婚姻平等1。
One Nation politician Barnaby Joyce has claimed the party is "one of the gayest parties in Australia," a statement that stands in stark contrast to the party's documented positions on LGBTQ+ issues.1 The assertion has drawn sharp criticism from equality advocates, particularly given contradictory rhetoric from within the party's own ranks.
Party members have previously made inflammatory statements about sexual orientation. Former Western Australian candidate Parminder Singh characterized homosexuality as a "mental illness,"1 while Western Australian senator Tyron Whitten stated: "there's male, there's female, and then there's mental illness."1 Heather Corkhill, legal director at Equality Australia, highlighted the contradiction, noting: "It's not every day you have politicians from the same party declaring both that being gay is a mental illness and that they are the gayest party in Australia."1
One Nation's policy positions have consistently opposed LGBTQ+ rights. The party abstained during the 2017 parliamentary vote on same-sex marriage,1 and leader Pauline Hanson opposed the Safe Schools program while maintaining anti-transgender positions.1 South Australian leader Cory Bernardi previously linked same-sex marriage to bestiality.1 However, the party's newest member Jason Virgo is gay and has previously supported marriage equality.1
