One Nation's shift toward anti-abortion stance linked to MAGA influence
Earlier this month, One Nation’s Barnaby Joyce addressed a rally on the steps of New South Wales parliament.

Joyce’s speech is notable as a cut and paste of US culture war strategies, and for what it reveals about One Nation’s evolving, populist far-right agenda.

One Nation's Barnaby Joyce recently spoke at a rally in New South Wales, supporting an anti-abortion bill that has drawn criticism from health experts. His speech reflects strategies used in the U.S. culture wars and highlights the party's evolving far-right agenda. Senator Pauline Hanson, the party's founder, has shifted her stance on abortion over time, from supporting women's rights in the 1990s to now aligning with pro-life policies. One Nation's new members, including Joyce and Cory Bernardi, have made strong anti-abortion statements. Despite this, most One Nation voters support abortion access or limited circumstances. The party has increasingly aligned with the MAGA movement, drawing comparisons to Donald Trump and adopting similar rhetoric. One Nation even sells a MAGA-style cap and uses similar messaging, including calls for deportations and opposition to gender ideology. Hanson recently traveled to the U.S. to speak at a conservative conference and attended a Trump event, further showing the party's ties to MAGA. This shift raises concerns about the influence of U.S. political strategies on Australian politics.
The alignment of One Nation with MAGA ideologies and anti-abortion rhetoric signals a growing influence of U.S. political tactics on Australian politics.
