🔥 Trending Pauline Hanson and Monique Ryan Clash Over Trump's Deportation Policy

The latest news, as of July 2026, indicates that Pauline Hanson, leader of the One Nation party in Australia, has publicly endorsed and praised former US President Donald Trump's approach to mass deportations ²⁴⁵⁷. This stance has drawn criticism from Independent MP Monique Ryan ³.

Pauline Hanson's Stance on Mass Deportations

Pauline Hanson has explicitly stated her support for mass deportations, drawing parallels to Trump's policies. During a recent trip to Europe, Hanson met with Rupert Lowe, the founder of Restore Britain, where she expressed her affinity for the idea of mass deportations ¹⁶. This interaction was filmed by Seven's Spotlight.

Hanson has "doubled down" on her support for these policies, describing Trump's methods as "a great way to do it" ²⁵⁷. She has also endorsed a "Trump-style deportation plan," which would involve offering "one-way tickets" home to individuals overstaying their visas ⁴⁸. Hanson aims to remove what she refers to as Australia's 77,000 "illegal immigrants" using this approach ⁸¹⁰.

Her comments suggest a desire to implement similar hardline measures in Australia, potentially involving a "blitz" similar to the ICE-agent operations seen in the United States under Trump's administration ⁵⁹.

Monique Ryan's Condemnation

In response to Hanson's comments, Independent MP Monique Ryan has openly condemned the One Nation leader's remarks ³. Speaking to ABC's Afternoon, Ryan indicated that Hanson's support for Trump's deportation policy "makes me sick" ³. This highlights a clear political divide on the issue within Australian politics.
