One Nation South Australia Policies

Our Policy on Important Issues

Fisheries

One Nation supports the right to fish. We consider that recreational fishers and the contribution they make to local economies in coastal communities will be an important factor in helping these communities recover from the economic and social impacts of South Australia’s algal bloom disaster.

South Australia for South Australians

One Nation is the only party which stands for all the principles of Australian democracy, and for true equality among all South Australians. We passionately believe in one nation and one people under one flag.

Energy

Australia’s abundant natural resources should be for the prosperity of our own citizens instead of our global competitors. Pauline Hanson's One Nation strongly opposes the waste of multi-billion dollar government subsidy schemes offered to foreign-owned solar and wind projects.

AGRICULTURE

South Australia is an agricultural powerhouse. Our world-class farming sector contributed more than $15 billion to the state’s economy in 2023-24, and directly supported around 50,000 full-time equivalent jobs. These figures rise to more than $17 billion and 75,000 jobs when forestry and seafood industries are included.

Education

Australia continues to rank lower than comparable high- and middle-income countries in achieving quality education outcomes despite a $24.8 billion budget for state education services. One Nation will restore critical thinking in the classroom and reinstate the cornerstones of education.

Child Protection

The child protection system in our state is broken. South Australia has a fundamental obligation to protect vulnerable children from unsafe living situations, but repeated high-profile failures in child protection have left the community with little confidence in the system. One of the main problems is the almost complete lack of accountability for these failures in the Department of Child Protection. There is no independent oversight of what is essentially a closed, self-regulating system and an entrenched toxic culture in the department itself.

Forestry

In South Australia, all of our timber comes from plantation forests; there is no harvesting of native forests in the state. We produce more than a third of Australia’s housing timber and almost half of Australia’s fibre for packaging. Yet this completely renewable, value-adding regionally-based industry is at risk from cheap low-quality overseas imports, land-use conflicts, a lack of water supply, insufficiencies in fire protection and a growing skills shortage.

Repeat Offenders

The first responsibility of any government is the safety of its people and communities. South Australia is fortunate in that it is not experiencing escalating youth crime rates, as is the case in other states. Indeed, rates of youth crime and incarceration have fallen significantly in recent years, and One Nation welcomes this outcome.

Local Government Reform

Apart from council elections, local governments are practically unaccountable and council decisions and policies are driven by administrations: unelected bureaucrats who answer to virtually no-one. Individual councillors who oppose majority decisions on behalf of the ratepayers who elect them are gagged, unable to oppose them in public thanks to provisions in the Local Government Act 1999 that are effectively weaponised against them to silence any dissent.

FIREARMS

One Nation supports the right of Australians to participate in sports involving firearms, to use firearms for hunting or recreational shooting, to collect antique and historically significant firearms, and to use firearms in rural areas for pest and stock management.

HOUSING

The great Australian dream of owning your own home is increasingly becoming out of reach for many South Australians as housing supply dwindles, housing demand increases and construction costs soar. Even finding an affordable rental has become extraordinarily difficult, with vacancy rates in urban and regional areas across the state sometimes falling below two per cent.

Health

South Australia’s struggle to meet demand for public health care is blowing out to crisis proportions and resulting in less-than-optimal health outcomes across the state – especially in regional areas. Significant shortcomings in our health system are being exposed by ambulance ramping, staff shortages, extremely long waiting times in emergency rooms and poor access to health services in regional communities.
