One Nation Senators Escalate Protest Against Daily Acknowledgement of Country in Parliament

One Nation’s four senators—Pauline Hanson, Malcolm Roberts, Warwick Stacey, and Tyron Whitten—turned their backs during the Acknowledgement of Country at the opening of the 48th Parliament, marking the beginning of what they say will be a daily protest. Chief of Staff James Ashby stated the gesture is a peaceful but firm stand against what they view as excessive and divisive repetition of the welcome ceremony. The panel on Sky News, including Linda Scott and host Danika, debated whether this reflects growing public sentiment or represents political obstructionism.
