保罗琳·汉森领导的One Nation党在澳大利亚政治中的影响力不断上升，而这一现象与主流政治精英多年来的表态密切相关[1]。沃伦·皮克林已被任命为该党在维多利亚州的领导者[1]。
评论人士指出，自由党内的资深政治人物通过关于全球化、移民和文化威胁的言论，实际上为One Nation的主张铺平了道路[1]。前总理托尼·阿博特曾在2019年匈牙利人口政策会议上赞许了匈牙利总理维克托·欧尔班[1]。同时，近期科尔斯和国泰航空分别宣布将约1000个工作岗位转移海外，与埃森哲合作，强化了就业议题的热度[1]。
工党政府在应对这些挑战时亦需谨慎行动[1]。一位工党部长向记者表示，进一步的移民措施可能会升温该问题，进而有利于汉森的政治主张[1]。评论认为，要有效制约One Nation的势力扩张，政治对手必须停止无意中替该党背书的做法。
Warren Pickering has been appointed to lead One Nation in Victoria [1]. The party, headed by Pauline Hanson, has been gaining influence in Australian politics, partly because senior figures across the political establishment have been laying groundwork for its arguments [1].
Senior Liberal politicians, including Tony Abbott and Scott Morrison, have spent years making statements about globalization, immigration, and cultural threats that have effectively paved the way for One Nation's core positions [1]. Abbott notably praised Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán at a 2019 population policy conference in Budapest [1]. Meanwhile, major corporations have fueled anxieties about job security—Coles and Cathay Pacific have both announced plans to relocate approximately 1,000 jobs overseas in partnership with Accenture [1]. A Labor minister warned that further immigration measures could elevate the issue and potentially assist Hanson politically [1].
