Diplomats, business leaders and powerbrokers from across the globe have met, held talks with, or are eagerly seeking meetings with Pauline Hanson. Even the local business establishment, who have been in a dither at the prospect of One Nation shutting off the tap of cheap Third World labour, are getting ready to talk to the party’s leader. Just as the legacy media quietly admitted her ascension by inviting her to speak at the National Press Club earlier this year, Big Business is rolling out the red carpet. > [Last month, Hanson](https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/margin-call/pauline-hanson-lands-canberra-business-summit-keynote-as-one-nation-attracts-corporate-interest/news-story/4cec5f815e933987d14a1636a0a468f4?ref=goodoil.news) was one of the VIP guests at a ritzy dinner celebrating the Financial Review’s annual power list. (She debuted on the list in fourth place, behind PM **Anthony Albanese**, Treasurer **Jim Chalmers** and the “man most likely”, **Mark Butler**; the official Opposition Leader, **Angus Taylor**, was a notable omission.) > > Next week, the One Nation leader will make another debut: this time as a keynote speaker at the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s big day out in Canberra. While PM Anthony Albanese will give the main speech – and try not to fall off the stage this time – he’ll be uncomfortably aware that the sense of Hanson as a PM-in-waiting will be centre-stage when she delivers her keynote speech at the fat cats’ beano. In the meantime, much as they hate to admit it, the major parties are [dancing strictly to One Nation’s tune](https://goodoil.news/one-nation-are-calling-the-policy-tune/) on the single biggest hot-button policy at the next election: immigration. For half a century, the polite set in Canberra have treated any suggestion that Australia had a finite capacity for imported humanity as pure heresy. Then the polling arrived. Suddenly, every suit in Parliament House has discovered their inner border hawk, churning out watered-down imitations of the very policies they once condemned over chardonnay and kale chips. > [Migration rates to Australia](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10-06/migration-cuts-comparison-labor-coalition-one-nation/107232222?ref=goodoil.news) since 2019 have been much higher than many comparable countries, with more than double the growth in population from migration compared to the United Kingdom, and three times Germany. Faced with that staggering influx, the coalition has cobbled together a timid pledge to halve net arrivals to 100,000 for a couple of years before quietly ramping them back up once the electorate is safely sedated. Labor’s **Tony Burke**, meanwhile, steps up to the microphone with the straightest of faces to declare that bringing net migration down to 225,000 a year constitutes decisive restraint. It is a pantomime of competence. Every targets-and-trajectories paper Treasury produces is obsolete before the ink dries, and everyone in the gallery knows it. The legacy players are peddling One Nation-lite, hoping that a thin coat of Hansonite paint will fool voters who cannot find an affordable rental or see a doctor without a three-week wait. The crucial difference is that nobody believes Labor or the Liberals actually want the numbers to fall. They are addicted to the cheap-labour heroin fed to them by the property lobbies and corporate hospitality barons. Only **Pauline Hanson** sounds to voters as if she genuinely means business. > One Nation has vowed to cut migration to negative levels in its first years, the coalition has promised to temporarily halve migration to 100,000, and Labor wants migration rates to return to the longer-term trend of 225,000. One Nation’s prescription does not fiddle with cosmetic quotas. It aims directly at the mechanisms that broke the system in the first place. The party proposes net negative migration of 25,000 annually over its initial three years, delivering an absolute cut of 750,000 to give the country’s exhausted housing and road networks actual breathing room. The gravy train for dodgy private colleges would be dismantled overnight, with foreign student visas slashed to 100,000 and the accompanying family visa rort terminated. Apparently it takes an entire Indian village to raise a single jerry-builder: official figures show that more than half of the ‘skilled’ worker intake (itself just 12 per cent of total immigration) in 2025 consisted of accompanying relatives rather than actual tradesmen or nurses. One Nation’s plan to eliminate those dependent visas altogether cuts through the bureaucratic double-talk. Overstayers and foreign criminals would face swift deportation and permanent bans, rather than endless loops through sympathetic tribunals. Predictably, the economic commentariat has responded with the customary shrieks of terror, warning that turning off the spigot will induce an immediate recession. Hanson’s rejoinder cuts straight through the Treasury jargon: a larger economic pie means nothing if the slice left for individual Australians gets smaller every single year. The major parties can copy the talking points all they like, but they cannot hide their absolute terror of offending the Multicult. The corporate suits in Canberra know it too. That is why they are scrambling to hear Hanson at their summits. They recognise that the public has stopped buying the uniparty’s half-measures and the woman they spent 30 years mocking is now writing the nation’s political agenda. --- 💡 ****If you enjoyed this article please share it using the share buttons at the top or bottom of the article.**
