The admission made by Pauline Hanson that she is taking policy advice from Gina Rinehart should raise serious concerns.

One Nation pretends to be the voice of the Australian underdog, but their close alignment with the country's wealthiest mining magnate is an obvious contradiction to that narrative. Voters need to be certain they are relying on genuine representation, not a political agenda dictated by multi-billion-dollar corporate interests. When a now major political figure starts echoing a billionaire's playbook, the fear is that public interest is discarded. We deserve leaders who answer to us, not to corporate boardrooms.
