Hanson Riled by Newly Unveiled NSW Party Leader
Mike Newman will campaign on payroll tax cuts and a pro-coal platform as One Nation targets Labor-held seats ahead of next year’s state election.
- On Friday, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson unveiled Mike Newman as the party's new New South Wales leader and candidate for the Labor-held seat of Cessnock in next year's state election.
- Joined by Federal New England MP Barnaby Joyce in Singleton, Newman promised to scrap net-zero targets and revive coal mining while eliminating payroll taxes entirely for regional businesses to boost employment.
- During the event, Newman spoke Japanese while answering a question from a foreign media outlet, prompting Hanson to interrupt; he defended his 25-year residency in Japan, asserting he remains focused on state issues.
- One Nation also announced Stuart Bonds as its upper house candidate; Bonds criticized Opposition Leader Kellie Sloane for failing to take strong political positions, complicating potential cooperation between One Nation and the New South Wales Coalition.
- Challenging the 23.4 per cent margin held by MP Clayton Barr in Cessnock, One Nation is polling at 25 per cent, prompting NSW Premier Chris Minns to acknowledge Labor must "climb Everest" to retain power.
