Pauline Hanson for PM: Aus-Muslims’ Nightmare?

(Oscar Godsell’s post from the SKY NEWS AUSTRALIA on 31 May 2026.)

Pauline Hanson says she’s ready to be Prime Minister of Australia, considering run for lower house seat: One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has declared she’s ready to be the Prime Minister of Australia and is considering running for a seat in the House of Representatives.

Her comments come after a recently published Redbridge-Accent Research seat-by-seat projection showed One Nation could win more than 50 seats at an election. In the wake of the polling, Ms Hanson told Sky News’ Sunday Agenda that she believed she was capable of leading the country as prime minister.

“Do I want to be Prime Minister? Well, I tell you what, I won’t knock the job because I believe that I have the ability to do it,” she said. “I’m not going to underestimate myself or say, 'no, I can’t do it,' because you know, have a look at what we’ve got now. That’s why we’re in a mess.”
