Hanson Removes Name From One Nation Title

Senator Pauline Hanson has removed her name from the party's title, rebranding "Pauline Hanson's One Nation" as "One Nation" in a move the party says reflects a renewed focus on putting Australia and Australians first. The party called the change a defining moment that reaffirms One Nation as a voice for ordinary Australians who value fairness, sovereignty and unity, and pledged to restore trust in politics and protect Australian values. Polling has risen, with Newspoll and other surveys putting the party's primary vote at roughly 11–12 percent — its highest level since 2017. Speculation that former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce could defect to One Nation or contest a Senate spot and potentially succeed Hanson has emerged, but Joyce said he has not joined the party and has not accepted any leadership overtures, while Nationals leader David Littleproud said he wants Joyce to remain a National. One Nation currently holds four federal Senate seats, has no Lower House representation, and the party has not confirmed when the name change will formally take effect.
