Polls Show Drop In Support For Pauline Hanson Following Press Club Address
After weeks of breathless commentary about One Nation’s rise in the polls, Pauline Hanson has dropped in popularity in two new polls.
This comes after the One Nation leader鈥檚 National Press Club speech in which she launched a broad attack on the rights and existence of trans people, describing the movement for trans equality as a 鈥渕ilitant force鈥 that must be 鈥渃onfronted鈥 and a 鈥渟ubversive transgender ideology鈥 that must be 鈥渄ismantled鈥. Hanson also made headlines after declaring multiculturalism a 鈥渇ailed policy鈥.
The speech was also notable for including a GetUp! stunt which drew attention to Hanson’s attacks on pay rises for workers, while pocketing a $100,000 pay rise for herself.
New national polling shows a decline in support for One Nation, alongside a weaker position for the Coalition and a modest improvement in Labor鈥檚 primary vote. Support for One Nation and the Coalition combined is down three points to 46% in Newspoll and four points to 47% in Redbridge. The polling was done in the week after Hanson’s Press Club speech.
Across the latest surveys, One Nation鈥檚 primary vote has fallen from earlier highs recorded during previous polling cycles in 2026. Labor has regained a lead in primary vote support, while the Coalition remains at comparatively low levels relative to historical averages. The Greens and other minor parties have shown smaller changes, remaining broadly within a narrow band of variation.
The combined polling trend suggests that gains previously recorded by One Nation earlier in the year have not been sustained. Those earlier increases had placed the party in a stronger competitive position in some surveys, but more recent data shows a reversal of that movement, with respondents shifting back toward the major parties.
