One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has unveiled her Queensland Senate team today in Canberra, sighting a potential 2018 election.
Former One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts will lead the ticket with former Queensland MP for Buderim, Steve Dickson.
Senator Hanson said “Both Malcolm Roberts and Steve Dickson have a proven track record of standing up for Queenslanders on issues that the other political parties refuse to acknowledge.”
“Malcolm Roberts has led the debate on energy prices and climate change, plus the need for broad tax reform in Parliament, while Steve Dickson has been one of the most outspoken advocates for medical cannabis use and a staunch supporter of building essential infrastructure across the state and nation. Both are highly respected in this country for their efforts and both bring experience of parliament to the party.”
One Nation polled an average primary of 22% in the 61 Queensland seats they stood candidates.
“With 371,193 Queenslanders casting their number one preference to One Nation at the recent state election, there’s nothing stopping this party holding three senate positions in our home state, along with Senators in every other state across the country.”
The party has committed to field candidates in all 30 seats across Queensland at the next federal election and plans to stand as many candidates as possible in all other states.
“Now is the time for reputable, genuine candidates to step forward. One Nation’s vetting process is very stringent these days and the 17 page application is designed to weed out undesirable candidates and those who don’t have a loyal bone in their body. We will have high quality, honest candidates.”
“The High Court has ruled that sitting Councillors and Mayors can run, so I expect we’ll see quite a bit of interest from people who’ve already proven to their community they’re capable of representing the needs of their constituents and I’ll be targeting that calibre of person for my team.”

1 last thing Pauline you are a very attractive woman but we did not vote you in for your looks you are the voice for the peolpe who do not have any voice what i mean is goverment are not listening to the people we need someone who does i know you do and can make a difference goverment only seem concerned about the next election and how many votes they will get instead of giving us policies at an election and not following up on them here is a great idea practice what you preach if you promise something how about following up on that promise well before a election is due and not promise to do something you promised to do 4 years ago at an election again because people are getting sick of this do what we elect you to do i have elected you to fulfill you election promises why do you not fulfill them then it just seem to be election promise and nothing getting done then next election due and stating same election promises again

Well firstly i can say go Pauline your our voice for queensland if not australia I met you in harrisville one night while you were have dinner i live in Mutdapilly which i believe you have a house you live in i have not voted for any one else just you
But i have an idea which may help with just not only unemployment but drug use and economy within queensland if not australia which would be beneficial to you to possible get more votes and be a shining star in australian politics it all has to do with recycling which is the future of australia, In short build a business that employs unemployed, rehabilitated drug uses, people with disabilities and virtually anybody who can work, to provide a better quality of life through hard work and incentive schemes, i am not going to give all details as it is an idea i have thought of and should get some help or credit for but it has been modeled and thought of and i know it can work it will not be easy to start with but it can work we need to narrow the gap between rich and the poor or struggling to make ends meet i myself am 1 of them we need policy change and a commitment to make this work, i am not looking at 100’s of people but 1000’s of people in all work ethics to do this job operators, secretaries, mechanics, machine operators and anybody willing to work for better wage but at the same time able to find out who supplies drugs to people using the centrelink system to our advantage and also police system to our advantage to put a stop to drug users
if you want to work you will be drug free and alcohol free and if not there will be consequences i am discriminating but our way of thinking needs to change on how we except these people
We seem to be thinking inside the box why do we not think outside the box and think of solutions instead of band aids to cover up the problem there is so many solutions to fix these problems but goverment do not want to know about them maybe you the voice for people who do not have a voice can help
Thanks for reading my message great work Pauline do not give up there is all ways a way just takes the right person to think of it
