澳大利亚政治人物保琳·汉森（Pauline Hanson）近日禁止多家主流新闻机构出席其新闻发布会，这一举措与她过去对媒体的态度形成鲜明对比。[1]早在1998年，汉森曾邀请《悉尼晨锋报》记者玛戈·金斯顿和《每日电讯报》记者海伦·麦凯布到其昆士兰乡村住所晚餐并留宿。[1]当时汉森在国家新闻俱乐部表示："你们的工作是对我的党、其人员和政策进行监督。与总理不同，我欢迎这一点。"[1]
然而汉森的立场已发生根本转变。[1]本周她将《时代周刊》、澳大利亚广播公司和《卫报》列入媒体禁止名单，并承诺将SBS从媒体版图上抹除。[1]汉森称BBC记者为"低俗的"，这种表述方式呼应了特朗普对不满意的女性记者的辱骂手段。[1]与此同时，汉森所领导的一国党在维多利亚州的新领导人沃伦·皮克林被指宣传关于全球"精英"阴谋和"大重置"的阴谋论。[1]
In 1998, Pauline Hanson extended an unusually warm invitation to the media, hosting Sydney Morning Herald journalist Margo Kingston and Daily Telegraph reporter Helen McCabe for dinner and an overnight stay at her Queensland rural property [1]. At that time, Hanson appeared genuinely committed to press scrutiny, having declared at the National Press Club that "your job is to hold my party, its people and policies to account. Unlike the Prime Minister, I welcome that" [1].
Two decades later, Hanson's relationship with the media has undergone a dramatic reversal. This week, she barred The Age, ABC, and The Guardian from her news conferences, while pledging to remove SBS from her media landscape entirely [1]. The shift reflects what critics describe as a Trump-style approach to managing unfavorable coverage. Hanson has labeled BBC journalists as "trashy," echoing rhetoric commonly directed at women reporters by the former U.S. president [1]. Her Victorian state leader, Warren Pickering, has meanwhile promoted conspiracy theories about global "elites" and the "Great Reset" [1].
