Why I joined One Nation

Pauline Hanson’s former Coalition adviser as One Nation eclipses Coalition in polls john adams explains why he joined One Nation.

You don’t have to be a genius to know that Australia is in crisis.

From the economy to internal security, education, mental health outcomes and public integrity, Australia is in a constant state of decline. This can be measured not only by current mood, but also by a series of objective empirical measurements dating back to the early 2000s.

Millions of Australians are finally waking up to the fact that the Labor-Liberal/National one-party establishment (along with a club of volunteer bureaucrats) is running the country into the ground and neither of them have the intention or ability to address the pressing problems facing Australia.

No better example can be identified than the response to the Bondi terrorist attack, which resulted in unprecedented and dangerous legislation, without public consultation or democratic consent, that had the capacity to suspend the civil liberties of ordinary Australians with little contribution to public safety.

In this context, last week, I decided to join One Nation as a party member.

No easy decisions

This was not a light decision. As a former economic adviser to a Coalition Senator and a former member of the Liberal Party (I left the party in 2016), such a decision is likely to have material consequences for me personally.

However, having been out in the wilderness as an independent politician for the last 10 years, I cannot consciously allow Australia’s corrupt one-party structure to harm the nation.

On the contrary, if my family and I (including my three children) want to have a future in Australia, the single party needs to be destroyed root and branch.

Why One Nation?

Over the past 14 years I have had significant access to the Federal Parliament as a parliamentary staffer and independent policy advocate.

I saw our country’s most senior MPs behind closed doors. I saw how they really thought, their level of integrity, their capacity to be bold and follow through on issues, and their genuine commitment to the Australian people.

Among the wide variety of topics I personally work on:

• tackling entrenched abuses in Australia’s banking system;
• protecting the freedom to use physical cash;
• fight against digital censorship and control;
• resisting draconian COVID-19 lockdown laws and vaccine mandates;
• pursuing failures in public administration (such as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission);
• Australia’s housing crisis; or
• exposing deep-seated corruption (including elite pedophilia);

One Nation has been the most consistent, bold and outspoken political force both in the Federal Parliament and across Australia.

Both publicly and behind closed doors, I have personally witnessed One Nation’s genuine and genuine concern for ordinary Australians and the current state of the nation as opposed to one party.

Bondi Terror Attack

But beyond that, the Bondi terrorist attack became a turning point for many Australians, including me.

The main reason for the attack is not just radical Islam or Israel’s war in Gaza; It extends to Australia’s immigration, settlement, citizenship and national identity policies from a decades-long perspective.

On all these points, millions of Australians now see Hanson’s sincere and long-held beliefs, dating back to the 1990s, as having far more merit and wisdom than was understood at the time.

Similar to Winston Churchill’s constant warnings to the UK House of Commons in the 1930s about the rise of Hitler and the rearmament of Germany, Pauline Hanson has long warned of the social and cultural consequences of a divided and fragmented society resulting from a non-homogeneous population.

While Hanson’s outspoken narrative had a striking impact on the Australian political system in the 1990s, his views were similar to those echoed by mainstream Australian political leaders such as former Prime Minister Robert Menzies, who cited case studies in South Africa and the United States as examples that Australia should avoid.

Hawke tradition

On 25 May 1989, when the House of Representatives unanimously passed a motion introduced by then Prime Minister Bob Hawke, adopting a non-discriminatory and bipartisan immigration policy, this meant, as Hawke put it on Australia Day in 1988, that in order to be a true Australian, one must “Commitment to Australia and its future”.

But in the last decade the Turnbull, Morrison and Albanese Governments have abandoned the Hawke condition.

This can also be evidenced by the many concessions made to Australians who joined the Islamic State after its spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani officially declared war on Australia on 22 September 2014. This includes recent efforts to facilitate the return of so-called ‘ISIS brides’.

ISIS Brides

Why Australian ISIS fighters and their brides, as well as other associated supporters in Australia, have not been treated as traitors to the nation by successive single-party governments continues to baffle millions of Australians.

The outrageous suggestion made by Prime Minister Albanese and NSW Premier Minns at multiple media conferences in the wake of the Bondi terror attack that civil liberties should be suspended to protect Australia’s multicultural society has alarmed many Australians.

While social cohesion and social cohesion are of great importance, millions of Australians do not support and do not give their democratic consent to restricting their personal freedoms to protect the one-party project of multiculturalism.

To date, One Nation is the only political party that has the will and capacity to both ensure social cohesion and protect civil liberties by making dramatic changes to immigration, settlement and citizenship policies in the wake of Bondi.

Solution

Ultimately, Australia needs bold, principled and consistent leadership. Leadership that is both fearless and forward-looking.

Senators Pauline Hanson and Malcolm Roberts have long sounded the alarm that Australia’s current policy direction would be disastrous. Many of the warnings made since 1996 turned out to be true.

Recent opinion polls point to a structural shift in the political views of the Australian public.

Demoralized and frustrated voters are tired of seeing Australia’s rapid collapse at the hands of the one-party establishment. I am one of these Australians.

One Nation represents the only political entity with a long history committed to reversing current policy direction and saving Australia. I am now committed to this effort.
