Immigration verified
Haines criticised the Coalition's immigration policy (April 2026) as 'disingenuous at best, divisive at worst,' arguing humanitarian obligations to refugees and asylum seekers are 'separate to skilled and temporary migration' and that existing laws already require migrants to commit to Australian values and pass language tests. She celebrated Australia's diversity and opposed 'singling people out based on where they come from, including people fleeing the war in Gaza.'
Economic nationalism verified
Launching her plan for community-owned renewable energy in regional Australia, Haines advocated that "everyday people develop, build or benefit from an energy project," saying that doing renewables right would mean "lower bills, stronger energy security, and new job and industries" and a "regional jobs boom" if every school, council, hospital, sporting club and community group could access the benefits.
