Hastie questions Hanson's media avoidance as One Nation announces immigration policy
Liberal frontbencher Andrew Hastie criticizes Pauline Hanson for unveiling significant policy via pre-recorded video rather than facing media scrutiny.
Liberal frontbencher Andrew Hastie has questioned why Pauline Hanson announced One Nation's new immigration policy through a pre-recorded social media video instead of engaging directly with the media. Speaking on the ABC's National Forum alongside Barnaby Joyce, Hastie said he supported parts of the policy but expressed concern about its lack of detail and Hanson's silence on the matter.
The criticism comes as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and King Charles held discussions, with ongoing political debate surrounding cost-of-living measures and fuel supply amid international circumstances.
