Liberal MP Andrew Hastie has openly criticized Pauline Hanson, the leader of One Nation, for her strong support of Donald Trump and his policies, particularly regarding the Middle East. He described her stance as 'MAGA first,' suggesting that it prioritizes American interests over those of Australians. This critique comes as One Nation's popularity surges, with polls indicating they are surpassing Labor in some areas, prompting the Coalition to strategize on how to counter Hanson's influence.
