One Nation leader Pauline Hanson is asking Australians to share the problems affecting their lives, families and businesses as the party develops ideas for its next federal election platform. In a post published on X, Hanson said she wanted people to help shape the plan and asked what was making life harder or stopping their businesses from getting ahead.
The campaign, called “What’s Holding You Back?”, invites people to submit concerns and suggestions through a dedicated website. One Nation says responses will help inform the party’s plan for the next federal election. The campaign page highlights pressures such as power bills, grocery costs, rent and concerns that people are working hard without getting ahead.
Hanson’s message argues that the major parties have stopped listening to ordinary Australians and presents One Nation as willing to hear their concerns. Those statements are the party’s political position, rather than independently established findings about how all Australians feel. The campaign does not yet set out a complete policy package in the post; it is primarily a call for public submissions and ideas.
The website asks respondents to provide identifying and contact details, including their name, email address, postcode and mobile number, and to indicate whether they are responding as an individual or a business. It also asks whether they would be willing to speak with Hanson or her team about the issues they raise. The campaign says responses will not be published with a person’s name attached, while also asking participants to agree to receive updates about One Nation’s campaign.
The listening campaign comes as political parties begin positioning themselves ahead of the next federal election. The issues raised by respondents could range from household expenses and housing to business conditions and broader national concerns, but the party has not yet announced how individual submissions will be assessed or which proposals will become formal policy.
For Australians considering taking part, it is worth reading the campaign’s privacy and consent information before submitting personal details. People can share their views through the campaign website, but should not assume that every suggestion will be adopted as policy. One Nation says the purpose is to hear directly from the public and use the feedback to help shape its future platform.
