Tensions Rise Within One Nation as New MP Defies Party Policies In a shocking move, One Nation's leader Pauline Hanson has revealed she had to reprimand the party's new MP, David Farley, over his apparent defiance of the party's policies. Farley, who won the federal seat of Farrer in a recent byelection, sparked controversy when he suggested that the current immigration intake of 306,000 was not too high. This stance directly contradicts One Nation's hardline stance on immigration, which is a core part of its platform. Hanson has now spoken out, claiming she had to have a "conversation" with Farley over his comments, which also included a seeming disregard for the party's policy of only flying the Australian flag. The fallout from this incident is likely to send shockwaves through the party, raising questions about Farley's commitment to One Nation's values.
