I’m not a career politician—I’m a worker, a veteran, and a proud Tasmanian. It’s time we put people power back into parliament.
Posted on Candidates by One Nation · April 19, 2025 12:58 PMChristopher Methorst is One Nation’s candidate for Braddon, a proud Tasmanian, former Australian soldier, and passionate advocate for working families and regional communities.
Born in Launceston and raised in Scottsdale and Devonport, Chris carries with him the small-town values of hard work, respect, and standing up for what’s right—values that shaped his military service and continue to drive his commitment to public life. At 19, he joined the Australian Army, serving full-time for seven years and later as a reservist for another three. His time in the military instilled a deep sense of patriotism, resilience, and a lifelong dedication to service.
After his time in defence, Chris built a career across construction, mining, disability support, and community coaching. He’s worked in both government and private sectors, owned a small business, and understands the real pressures families face—whether it’s juggling multiple jobs, navigating health challenges, or trying to support children through a struggling healthcare system.
Chris knows firsthand that the major parties have lost touch with ordinary Australians. He’s watched governments neglect our rural communities, overburden our schools and hospitals, and allow cost-of-living pressures to spiral out of control. He believes in putting people before politics, and in returning power to everyday Australians.
Chris is standing with Pauline Hanson’s One Nation to rebuild essential services, support farmers and small business, ease cost-of-living pressures, and strengthen families and communities across Braddon. He’s committed to practical, common-sense policies that get results—not lip service.
Christopher Methorst isn’t a career politician. He’s a father, a worker, and a veteran who knows what matters. He’s ready to be a strong voice for the people of Braddon—because he is one of them.

Tasmanians are hurting. I’m standing up for families, farmers, and workers—because we all deserve a fair go.
Posted on Candidates by One Nation · April 18, 2025 8:35 AMShaun Broadby is Pauline Hanson’s One Nation candidate for Lyons. A passionate advocate for Tasmanian families, workers, and farmers, Shaun is standing up to fight for the everyday Australians forgotten by the major parties.
Shaun is committed to overhauling Australia’s broken Family Law system, fighting for the rights of children to have access to both fit and willing parents, and fixing the flawed child support system that too often rewards legal conflict. He believes in compassionate, common-sense reforms that restore fairness and dignity to Australian families.
Water security, job creation, and housing affordability are at the heart of Shaun’s campaign. He supports One Nation’s national apprenticeship program, expanded infrastructure investment, and a five-year GST moratorium on building materials to help lower housing costs and get more Tasmanians into homes.
As a proud Tasmanian, Shaun is determined to protect the state’s agricultural industry from foreign ownership, back farmers through a rural lending fund, and ensure regional communities get their fair share of federal funding. He supports cutting $90 billion in government waste and redirecting funds into hospitals, schools, and essential services.
Shaun is also a strong voice for medical freedom, supporting affordable access to whole-plant medicinal cannabis, and standing firmly for pro-life values—opposing extreme abortion laws and calling for compassionate, evidence-based policies that protect both mother and child.
From family tax reform to defending local jobs, Shaun Broadby brings practical solutions, integrity, and unwavering commitment to the people of Lyons.

Dr Stefan Popescu is a proud resident of Franklin, a father of three and a passionate advocate for local communities, personal freedoms and evidence-based policy.Born in Romania, Stefan and his family fled communist oppression in search of a freer life, an experience that shaped his deep commitment to defending Australian sovereignty, bodily autonomy, and national values.

Stefan’s career spans a wide range of industries, from panel beating and filmmaking to academia and the arts. Today, he operates a home renovation and landscaping business, giving him practical insight into the challenges facing tradespeople, families, and small business owners across Tasmania.

Stefan is running with Pauline Hanson’s One Nation because he believes it is the only party truly fighting for Australian citizens, protecting farmers, resisting globalist interference and restoring common sense to government.
His priorities include protecting Tasmania’s environment and industry from foreign control, ensuring local decisions are made by Tasmanians, and advocating for real reforms in media transparency, education and national security.

Posted on Candidates by One Nation · April 18, 2025 7:56 AMCathy Griggs is Pauline Hanson’s One Nation candidate for Clark in Tasmania.

She stands with Pauline Hanson’s One Nation because the party has the courage to call out the truth and fight for those who’ve been left behind.

I don’t just talk about problems—I fix them. Tasmania deserves leaders who deliver results, and I’ll fight every day to make life better for our families.
Posted on Candidates by One Nation · April 03, 2025 8:09 AMLee Hanson is a proud mother, long-time Tasmanian resident, and passionate community advocate who brings integrity, empathy, and action to everything she does. With more than 20 years of senior leadership experience across higher education, water and sewerage, government business enterprises, tourism, and banking, Lee knows what it takes to deliver results—and she’s not afraid of hard work.
“I’ve built a career solving tough problems, leading teams through transformation, and making systems work better for people,” Lee says. “I don’t just talk about change—I get in, get to the root of the issue, and get it done.”
Lee moved to Tasmania over 13 years ago, married a local, and is now raising two Tasmanian-born children. Her deep connection to the state and its people is what drives her to stand up for the community. She believes Tasmanians deserve better—better healthcare, better access to education, and better opportunities for their families.
“We live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, but people are being left behind,” Lee says. “Our hospitals are overwhelmed, GPs are turning away new patients, and mental health services are practically non-existent. We have families waiting years just to get their child into a paediatrician. That’s not good enough.”
Lee is also deeply concerned about Tasmania’s education system, housing crisis, and rising cost of living. She sees these challenges as interconnected—and solvable.
“Our kids deserve a real chance at a future,” she says. “Right now, our education system is broken. Teachers are struggling, kids are slipping through the cracks, and families are doing it tough. I believe Tasmania can be a leader in reform if we rebuild our education system from the ground up.”
In her career, Lee has led teams of up to 100 people and been recognised for her ability to deliver results in complex environments. She brings a collaborative, people-focused approach to leadership and believes in getting the job done with empathy and conviction.
“I take responsibility. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll find it. If something’s broken, I’ll fix it,” she says. “Letting people down is not an option for me.”
Lee is known for her ability to put herself in others’ shoes and understand different perspectives. It’s a quality she sees as essential in leadership—especially when it comes to building policies that work for the long term.
“I want to put in place solutions that stand the test of time,” she says. “Not just quick fixes—real change that benefits everyone.”
Lee also acknowledges the role her upbringing played in shaping her values. “I have the privilege of my mother being one of the most tenacious, resilient and strongest women in Australia; Pauline Hanson. Those values have carried through to me—she’s always been my role model.”
“But I am my own woman. I bring my own strength and convictions. I’m part of a younger generation with a new lens and different life experiences. I’m fresh blood—and I’m ready to get to work.”
As the One Nation candidate for the Tasmanian Senate, Lee is ready to bring common sense, compassion and real-world experience into Parliament. She’s not a career politician—she’s a mother, a worker, and a community member who’s ready to fight for everyday Tasmanians.
“I love this state. I care about our future. And I’ll do everything I can to make it better—for my children, and for yours.”
