Sky News’ Paul Murray and James Ashby, Chief of Staff of Senator Pauline Hanson, have pushed back against recent remarks made by 21-year-old Greens Senator Charlotte Walker, who took aim at Senator Pauline Hanson in Parliament. Ashby didn’t mince words, pointing out that while Walker might be making waves on social media, she lacks the life experience and political grounding to understand or represent the concerns of everyday Australians. He argued that instead of throwing immature jabs across the chamber, Walker would be better off sitting down with Senator Hanson to actually learn from her 30 years of political service—service grounded in real-life issues that Aussies care about.

The exchange highlights a growing frustration with performative politics and the rise of headline-chasing antics in the Senate, where meaningful debate is being replaced by social media soundbites. Ashby called for decorum and respect in Parliament, reminding younger members that their role is to work together for the good of the Australian people—not chase clicks and clout. This incident underscores One Nation’s commitment to straight-talking, experienced representation and pushing back on the political immaturity creeping into Canberra.
