He understands firsthand the cost-of-living pressures, rising crime and declining infrastructure facing the people of Lalor and he’s ready to fight back.

Jason stands against digital overreach, supports real infrastructure reform and is calling for an end to gender ideology in schools.

    Rocco DeAngelis is a proud Australian, devoted family man and successful food entrepreneur standing with Pauline Hanson’s One Nation to fight for Australia’s future. Born and raised in Adelaide to a large Italian migrant family, Rocco has lived the Australian dream; affordable housing, quality education and real opportunities to build a successful life. Now, he’s determined to ensure the same opportunities exist for future generations.

    I love my country, I adore my family and I thank God for the life I’ve had here. But I see an Australia today that is struggling. The cost of living is out of control, home ownership is slipping away and families are being squeezed from all sides. I refuse to stand by and watch as our future is sold off to the highest bidder.

    Rocco’s background in business and entrepreneurship has given him firsthand experience of the challenges facing small business owners, workers and families. Over the past 20 years, he has successfully run a food business, gaining deep insight into the economic and policy issues affecting everyday Australians. He knows how rising energy costs, over-regulation and unfair trade policies are crippling businesses and driving up prices for consumers.

    As a father of three boys, Rocco is passionate about securing a better future for Australian families. He strongly believes in defending parental rights, ensuring schools focus on education—not ideological agendas—and restoring fairness to the job market. “Employment should be based on merit, not political identity,” he says. “Our children deserve the chance to succeed based on their skills and hard work, not tick-box quotas and discrimination.

    Rocco is also committed to tackling mass immigration, which he sees as a key driver of housing unaffordability, infrastructure strain and social division. He advocates for a common-sense immigration policy that puts Australian workers, taxpayers and communities first. “A strong nation needs secure borders, a united identity and policies that work for the people—not for globalist elites,” he says.

    With a strong focus on small business, national sovereignty and affordable living, Rocco is running with One Nation to challenge the political status quo and fight for an Australia-first future. “I want my kids and all Australian kids, to grow up in a country where hard work is rewarded, families are supported and our national identity is protected.

  • We need to bring back Australian manufacturing, lower energy costs, and invest in real infrastructure for our communities. I will fight to make sure the people of Dickson have a voice in Canberra.

    Joel Stevenson is proud to stand as the One Nation candidate for Dickson, bringing a wealth of real-world experience and a deep commitment to the local community. A longtime resident of Kallangur for 14 years, Joel understands the challenges faced by families, workers and small businesses in the area. With a background as a maintenance industrial electrician, he has witnessed firsthand the decline of Australian manufacturing and is determined to fight for policies that rebuild industry, secure jobs and lower the cost of living.

    For too long, we’ve watched our manufacturing sector shrink while energy prices continue to rise. It’s time to take back control of our industries, invest in affordable and reliable energy and bring back jobs that support Australian families,” Joel says.

    Over the past 25 years, Joel has seen the erosion of local industries due to bad government policy, overregulation and an obsession with net-zero goals that have driven energy prices sky-high. He believes that Australia must restore its competitive edge by prioritising investment in low-cost, reliable energy solutions such as coal and nuclear power.

    Without affordable power, we can’t rebuild our industries, we can’t create secure, well-paying jobs and we certainly can’t compete with nations that are using their natural resources wisely,” he says.

    Joel is also passionate about infrastructure and ensuring that local projects deliver real benefits for the people of Dickson. He advocates for better roads, transport links and community facilities to support the region’s growing population.

    Beyond politics and work, Joel enjoys fishing and water sports, activities that keep him connected to the outdoors and reinforce his belief in balancing economic progress with environmental preservation. He supports common-sense environmental policies that protect Australia’s natural resources while allowing industries and communities to thrive.

    Joel is committed to being a strong voice in federal parliament for the people of Dickson, ensuring that their needs and aspirations are represented at the national level. He is standing with One Nation to fight for policies that lower the cost of living, put Australian workers first and restore the nation’s economic independence.

    This election is about taking back control from out-of-touch career politicians and ensuring the future of our communities. I’m standing with One Nation to put Australians first and get Dickson the representation it deserves,” he says.

With a strong background in disability support and soon-to-be a registered nurse, Nathan has dedicated himself to helping those in need, seeing firsthand the struggles Australians face in the current economic and social climate.

    I love this country deeply, but I see the Australia my Nonno worked so hard to embrace slipping away. The cost of living is skyrocketing, housing is becoming unattainable and our national values are being eroded. It’s time to stand up and fight for the future of our country.

    Nathan’s passion for change stems from his experiences working within the NDIS system, where he has seen mismanagement and inefficiencies that fail both taxpayers and those truly in need. He is determined to push for major reforms that ensure funding goes where it is most effective, cutting waste while improving outcomes for vulnerable Australians.

    He is also a strong advocate for affordable housing, pushing for policies that pause mass immigration until infrastructure catches up, ensuring Australians can access homes and essential services. He believes in restoring Australian values in education by emphasising the nation's achievements in medical, sporting and industrial fields rather than rewriting history with ideological bias.

    Nathan sees the major parties as two sides of the same coin, failing to act in the best interests of everyday Australians. By standing with One Nation, he hopes to be a voice for hardworking families, ensuring policies that put Australians first; whether in job creation, affordable energy or securing Australia's national sovereignty.

    I want my children to grow up in the Australia my Nonno believed in; a country of opportunity, fairness and strong values. If we don’t fight for it now, what will we tell future generations? That we stood by and let it slip away? I refuse to do that.

    Nathan is calling on the people of Kingston to support a bold, practical vision for a stronger Australia—one that prioritises Australian jobs, infrastructure and a future where every citizen has the opportunity to thrive.

A father of seven and grandfather to nine, he is deeply concerned about the future his children and grandchildren will inherit under the reckless policies of the major parties.

    I’m tired of the two-party system treating Australian taxpayers like a never-ending cash cow. Our families deserve better, our economy deserves better and Australia deserves better.

He believes in protecting family structures, ensuring fair and transparent elections and preventing ideological manipulation in politics and media.

    Mike is particularly concerned about the skyrocketing cost of living, believing that energy affordability and infrastructure investment are key to securing Australia’s economic future. He supports One Nation’s commitment to restoring reliable, low-cost energy by reinvesting in coal and gas while cutting the bureaucratic waste that drives up household bills.

    His priorities include stronger border protection, a moratorium on immigration until infrastructure catches up and an independent audit of government spending. Mike is also a vocal supporter of investigating the impacts of pandemic lockdowns and mandates, ensuring accountability for government overreach.

    Australians were forced into lockdowns, lost their jobs and had their freedoms stripped away; all while big corporations and government elites got richer. Where is the accountability? The major parties won’t fight for everyday Australians, but I will.

    Mike is calling on the people of Flinders to reject the career politicians who have failed them and back a candidate who understands real life, real struggles and real solutions.
