Pauline Hanson says Angus Taylor must stop “denigrating” One Nation, after the opposition leader delivered his strongest rebuke yet of the right-wing party at a speech in Sydney yesterday.
Taylor told The Sydney Institute that One Nation’s plan for Australia would “send us broke”, accused the party of being a “column of smoke”, and said their policies would cost more than a trillion dollars over a decade.
But in a video posted to social media from London, Hanson hit back, saying she was not Taylor’s enemy and appealed to him to work with her.
She accused the opposition leader of copying One Nation’s policies in his budget-in-reply speech in May.
“I’m very disappointed with this. Angus, I’m not your enemy. We both need to get rid of the Labor, the Greens government, that toxic government that’s done so much damage to this country,” Hanson says.
“A lot of the policies that you say won’t work is not the truth at all. Let’s work together, that’s what I keep saying all the time. The people of Australia are crying out for change. Listen to the people Angus and work with me. Stop denigrating One Nation and work together.”
