Pauline Hanson, the leader of One Nation, has firmly rejected the idea of welcoming defectors from the Coalition parties, which include the Liberal and National parties, labeling them as 'opportunists' concerned about their political futures. In light of recent polling from the Australian Financial Review, which indicates One Nation could potentially win 53 seats, while the Coalition could plummet to just 12, Hanson emphasized that very few MPs from the Coalition align with her party's values. Despite speculation surrounding potential defections, including former Liberal senator Hollie Hughes and ex-Liberal vice-president Teena McQueen joining One Nation, Hanson clarified her position, stating she is focused on maintaining the party's integrity. The only Coalition member she expressed interest in is Senator Alex Antic, who has shown commitment to the Liberal Party by announcing his candidacy for president of the South Australian division. Additionally, Hanson has formed a close alliance with billionaire Clive Palmer, who has offered financial support for One Nation, although he will not run for office with the party.
