Pauline Hanson calls for Shorten to end alliance with Greens
MEDIA RELEASE
One Nation leader and Queensland Senator Pauline Hanson has today written to the Labor leader Bill Shorten seeking an assurance Labor will put the Greens last on their how-to-vote cards at the next Federal election.
“By consistently releasing irresponsible thought bubble policies, the Greens have demonstrated they cannot be trusted. The Greens appear determined to drive our economy backwards, which will cost hundreds of thousands of Australian jobs.”
One Nation has repeatedly recommended its voters put the Greens last on their how-to-vote cards over the past State and Federal campaigns. Senator Hanson is now calling on the Labor leader to do the same.
“Australian’s have finally realised the Greens are not about saving dolphins. Instead, they’re about re-introducing death duties, decriminalising illicit drugs like ice and heroin, allowing unlimited numbers of refugees into Australia, increasing power costs through unsustainable renewable energy targets, eradicating petrol and diesel cars from our roads, shutting down mining and suggesting reckless welfare policies.”
FULL LETTER
“Bill Shorten needs to come clean with the Australian public now and reassure voters, Labor won’t do a dirty preference deal with the Greens in return for implementing their irrational policies should he become Prime Minister.”
The One Nation leader has promised that unless Bill Shorten offers a guarantee to her and the public, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation will be forced to place the Greens and Labor last at the next election.
“I can’t see any other alternative but to put irresponsible parties last if they’re going to do preference deals with the Greens.”
“My intention is to run as many One Nation candidates across the country at the next Federal election, which could take place as early as August this year. We will be ready no matter when the Prime Minister nominates a date”, Senator Hanson said.
