One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has pledged support for Australia joining the United States' war in Iran, launching a blistering attack on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for refusing to back President Donald Trump's military action.
In characteristic style, Hanson argued that Australia has a duty to support its American ally, criticizing the government's cautious approach as the fuel crisis triggered by U.S. strikes deepens across the nation.
Mate, only Pauline Hanson could look at Australians panic-buying petrol because of someone else's war and think, "You know what we need? More involvement in that war."
The One Nation leader's intervention highlights the political pressure Albanese faces from the right as he navigates a genuine foreign policy crisis. While the government focuses on managing fuel supplies and economic fallout, Hanson wants Australian military involvement.
"We should be standing shoulder to shoulder with our allies," Hanson declared, criticizing Albanese for not supporting Trump's decision to strike Iranian gas fields. The comments came as Australians queue at service stations and the government scrambles to coordinate fuel supply responses.
The timing is particularly notable. Australia is experiencing its worst fuel security crisis in years, directly triggered by military action in . and supply concerns mount, yet advocates for deeper involvement in the conflict.
