Robert Hicks is a staunch advocate for Australian values, fairness and national sovereignty, standing with Pauline Hanson’s One Nation as the candidate for Leichhardt. He believes that successive governments have failed Australians, allowing cost-of-living pressures, failing infrastructure and government overreach to erode the freedoms and quality of life that generations have worked hard to build.

Robert has lived in Far North Queensland for many years and has seen firsthand how government mismanagement has left regional communities behind. He is determined to stand up for the everyday Australians who feel ignored by the political elite in Canberra.

“I’ve watched as Labor, the Liberals, and the Greens have abandoned the people they were elected to serve. They’ve divided the nation with policies that prioritise minority interests over the majority of hardworking Australians. It’s time to restore balance, fairness, and common sense,” he says.

Robert believes that education, healthcare and law and order have been badly mismanaged, leaving families and communities without the services they need. “Our schools should be about education, not indoctrination. Our hospitals should be focused on patient care, not bureaucratic red tape. And our police should be enforcing the law, not tiptoeing around political agendas,” he states.

He is also committed to ensuring Leichhardt gets its fair share of infrastructure funding, particularly in regional health services, roads and local business support. Robert is passionate about restoring accountability to government and ensuring Australians come first when it comes to jobs, housing and essential services.

“Leichhardt is one of the most stunning places in Australia, but our community is being ignored and underfunded while Canberra politicians focus on their own agendas. I’m running because I believe in a government that serves the people, not special interests,” Robert says.

He is calling on the people of Leichhardt to reject the political establishment and choose real representation that stands up for regional Queensland, working Australians, and the future of our nation.

“It’s time for strong leadership, common sense policies, and a government that listens to its people,” Robert says. “Together, we can restore fairness, accountability and prosperity to Leichhardt.”
