By scapegoating firearms owners after the Bondi Beach terrorist attack, Labor is forcing at least a million Australians to look to less mainstream politics to support their sport, pastime and livelihood, something One Nation leader Pauline Hanson is well aware of.
In an interview with Shooters Union president Graham Park, Ms Hanson said Australians were already angry about the lack of cohesion apparent in Australia’s form of multiculturalism.
“And now for the Prime Minister to turn it on about the guns, that’s angering people more so because he’s not dealing with the real issue,” she said.
“This is an Islamic fundamentalist terrorist attack.”
She is opposed to the Minns Government’s gun laws and said that if One Nation wins seats the 2027 NSW state election “we will turn it around”.
She said she, Barnaby Joyce and One Nation’s other senators had already decided they would oppose the Albanese Government’s buyback.
“We’ll fight and oppose and speak out against it, so we get some common sense,” she said.
Mr Park expressed the frustration that shooters feel in the current situation.
“The only thing that is going to change, I think, is making a million-odd legitimate firearms owners in this country wake up to the fact that their own government is quite happy to use them as a political football rather than addressing an issue,” he said.
Ms Hanson said she intends to stand a candidate in every seat and in the upper house at the next NSW election.
“By the time the election happens in March 2027 we’ll have boots on the ground and put our policies forward.”
She said it was not right to allow divisive people from foreign countries to migrate to Australia.
“I’d actually buy them back and get them out of the bloody country.”
She questioned where the Nationals were on this issue, saying they simply sided with their Coalition partners, the Liberals.
However, this interview was conducted at the same time as the Nationals were refusing to vote with the Liberals in favour of the Minns Government’s gun laws yesterday, and many people suggest the Coalition may soon split over the issue.
