Where the Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party stands — platform positions
18 position(s), each sourced exclusively from the party's own published materials (websites, platform documents, white papers) — never from media coverage. Where the party's own materials don't state a position, nothing is shown.
Immigration party platform
The party's immigration page commits to cutting immigration by over 570,000 people from current Labor levels by 'capping visas at 130,000 per year'. The page names no visa categories, does not distinguish permanent from temporary visas or grants from arrivals, and states no net overseas migration target, so the scope of the cap is unspecified. One Nation's own posts describe the figure differently across time: a cap on visas (11 February 2025), a target of around 130,000 to 160,000 people a year (26 August 2025), and a cap on net migration at 130,000 described as roughly net-neutral (10 December 2025). Former Immigration deputy secretary Abul Rizvi reported in March 2026 that the policy had been revised to cap arrivals at 130,000, producing net overseas migration of about minus 100,000. The policy also commits to deporting 75,000 people it identifies as illegal migrants (visa overstayers, illegal workers and unlawful non-residents), an eight-year waiting period for both citizenship and welfare, curbing Administrative Review Tribunal appeals, reintroducing Temporary Protection Visas, ending student visa pathways it describes as a backdoor to permanent residency, refusing entry to migrants from nations it says foster extremist ideologies, and withdrawing Australia from the UN Refugee Convention.
Economic nationalism party platform
The party's policy would ban any further sale of freehold farmland to foreign investors, limit leasehold farmland sales to 25 years, and legislate a definition of "National Interest" for foreign investment review based on national security, competition, tax and a character test. It states essential services including power, water, telecommunications, roadways and ports would be off-limits to foreign investors, and supports a ban on foreigners owning residential property.
Foreign policy & aid party platform
The party proposes withdrawing Australia from international organisations and agreements including the United Nations, the World Health Organization and the Paris Agreement, stating Australia's best interests lie in charting an independent path without "unelected international bureaucracies" compromising its sovereignty. It calls for a review of all memberships of international bodies.
Abortion & reproductive policy party platform
The party's Pro-Life policy states that human life begins in the womb and proposes reducing gestational limits for abortion, banning sex-selective abortion, and requiring counselling for women considering an abortion. It also proposes requiring neonatal care for babies born alive during an abortion, restoring doctors' full right to conscientious objection, and mandating reporting of abortion rates.
Gender & LGBTQ+ policy party platform
The party opposes what it calls gender ideology being imposed on Australians, particularly children, and completely rejects the use of puberty blockers, hormones or surgery to treat children with gender dysphoria, supporting a "Watchful Waiting" model of care. Its senators have also introduced amendments to the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 to restore biological definitions of women and men and protect female-only spaces.
Religious freedom party platform
The party states freedom of religion is a fundamental democratic right as important as freedom of speech, citing Section 116 of the Constitution. It opposes the repeal of section 38(3) of the Sex Discrimination Act (which removed religious exemptions for religious schools) and states its senators will work to ensure religious discrimination legislation protects Australians of faith.
Freedom of speech party platform
One Nation publishes a dedicated Free Speech Policy describing free speech as a fundamental right that 'should be enshrined in the Constitution.' The party says it will push for constitutional protection by referendum and work to repeal laws and abolish government bodies that restrict speech, characterising censorship and speech regulation as things it would dismantle.
Drugs & law and order party platform
The party's crime policy advocates strict sentencing guidelines and amendments to bail laws to keep dangerous repeat offenders off the streets, stating the presumption of innocence must be balanced by a presumption of public safety. It also supports increased youth detention capacity and tougher sentencing for gun crimes and traffickers.
Hunting (duck & native birds) party platform
The party's firearms policy supports the right of Australians to use firearms for hunting, recreational shooting, sport and pest management, and states no further stringent licensing measures are required. It supports supervised participation of juniors under 16 in shooting sports and the use of noise-suppression devices for hunting and pest control, while backing stronger penalties for unlawful firearm use and trafficking.
First Nations & treaty party platform
The party opposed the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament and states the Constitution should make no distinctions between citizens based on race. Its policy would accept no new native title or cultural heritage claims while reviewing all existing ones, insert a sunset clause into the Native Title Act, abolish the National Indigenous Australians Agency, comprehensively audit Indigenous grant spending, and end taxpayer funding for welcome to country ceremonies.
Nuclear & uranium party platform
The party opposes the legislated ban on commercial nuclear energy and will move to repeal it, supporting nuclear power as a central part of Australia's long-term energy mix. It advocates construction of an advanced pressurised water reactor providing about 1400MW of baseload power on the east coast at an approximate cost of $6.8 billion, and support for emerging small modular reactor technology.
Housing & planning party platform
The party's policy states the housing crisis is driven by too little supply and too high demand, and would reduce demand by capping immigration at 130,000 and banning foreign ownership of residential property. Supply-side measures include a five-year GST moratorium on building materials for new homes up to $1 million, streamlining land releases and building approvals, releasing under-utilised government land, and allowing tax-free renting of rooms and granny flats.
Health party platform
The party's policy proposes requiring photo ID on Medicare cards and cracking down on what it states is up to $3 billion in annual Medicare fraud, with savings redirected to lifting bulk-billing rates and increasing Medicare rebates so GPs are better remunerated. It also commits to boosting the regional health workforce by offering newly qualified medical professionals three-year contracts with their HECS-HELP loans paid in full.
Education party platform
The party's policy supports a back-to-basics curriculum re-emphasising English, mathematics and science, and stripping the curriculum of what it describes as ideological or politically-biased material. It proposes parent-elected school boards with at least 50% parent membership, a school voucher system to give parents choice, higher standards for teaching graduates, and empowering schools to enforce discipline.
Transport & infrastructure party platform
The party supports nation-building infrastructure projects across water, rail, roads and energy, combined with a national apprenticeship scheme providing wage subsidies of 75%, 50% and 25% across the first three years. It has also promoted the "Iron Boomerang" east-west rail corridor project and states roadways and ports should be off-limits to foreign investors.
Energy party platform
The party's policy is to abolish Australia's Net Zero by 2050 target along with associated subsidies, mandates and legislation, withdraw from the Paris Agreement, and abolish the Department of Climate Change and related programs and agencies. It states it backs coal, gas, hydro and nuclear energy to lower prices and secure supply.
Environment & water party platform
The party's water policy opposes further water recovery through buybacks in the Murray-Darling Basin, which it states have been devastating for river and irrigation communities, while supporting water trading between Australian irrigators. It commits to building new water infrastructure including dams, establishing a federal authority to assess a "hybrid Bradfield Scheme" to drought-proof inland Australia, legislating full disclosure of water ownership and banning the sale of water to foreign investors.
Animal welfare party platform
The party supports the live sheep export trade and opposes the federal government's ban on live sheep exports, stating the ban threatens thousands of jobs and hundreds of farms.

Economic +3, social +8 (medium confidence) — researched party-level placement, not a score computed from this database. politicalcompass.org states One Nation's extreme-right label owes its extremity more to its social policies than its economic position; Wikipedia and press describe it as right-wing populist, nationalist and anti-immigration.
