One Nation Picks Davis
With the federal election year barely underway, Pauline Hanson has nominated Beaudesert schoolteacher Natalie Davis to represent One Nation at the polls.
One of the issues Ms Davis hopes to impact is education.
Citing the decline in students' literacy and numeracy skills as well as the erosion of respect for authority and increasing prevalence of mental health challenges in the classroom, Ms Davis has called for an overhaul of education policies.
“I don't know whether many parents realise this, but they'll be horrified to find out you can fail every subject you can fail to hand in every every assignment, and you still get to go on to the next year level with no consequence, none.
“In fact, one of my biggest frustrations while I've been a teacher has been that kids are more likely to get a detention for having the wrong color socks than they are because they haven't submitted an assessment task.”
Ms Davis said the country needed to reinstate traditional Christian values.
“We are the only party, probably beside Family First that is that actually calling out what others are not,” she said.
“We're calling out the woke agendas. As a teacher, I've seen the destruction of what's going on in our in our schools. Because instead of actually dealing with issues that kids are having, we're just saying, oh, it's okay that you think this way.
“But it's not okay.”
Ms Davis said immigration had contributed to the current housing crisis.
“One Nation has been talking about it for a long time now, the fact we need to control our immigration,” she said.
“It's impacting in so many ways in our nation. It's impacting not only on the availability of housing, but now, how often are we turning on our TVs and seeing our Australian culture being killed?”
Ms Davis said she was keen to represent the agriculture industry in Parliament.
“I've already started visiting farmers, because what I'm finding is that politicians have forever told farmers what they need,” she said.
“They haven't gone and asked farmers, what do you need? They're just telling, oh, we're going to do this, we're going to take water off you.
“That Murray Darling Basin Plan is diabolical. This idea of how much water we are taking off farmers, and the cost of those allocations, and the fact that in the southern states, we've got people trading water that don't even own land.”
Ms Davis said it was time for those in power to put Australia first.
“We've got so much money that we are spending as a nation and giving to the United Nations. It's incredible,” she said.
“ You know, our country is almost three quarters of a trillion dollars in debt ... and we are sending billions of dollars to the UN every year.
“I'm absolutely fed up of ... paying huge amounts of tax on sliding scales and we're giving, we're actually donating money to the UN.”
In 2023 Ms Davis took part in the School of Government program at River University in the Unites States.
