One Nation Leader Senator Pauline Hanson, speaking from Scenic Rim, Queensland, argued that Labor has long used mass migration to secure votes, citing historical admissions by Labor figures and linking current high immigration levels to cost-of-living pressures and infrastructure strain. While stressing respect for hardworking migrant communities, Hanson called for an honest debate on population planning and criticised both major parties for failing to deliver a sustainable immigration policy. She reiterated her push for a population plan capped at 130,000 migrants per year until services and infrastructure catch up.
