One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has intervened to clarify her party’s immigration policy following comments made by party MP David Farley. During an appearance on the ABC’s 'Insiders' program, Farley suggested that One Nation’s net migration target was 'not too different' from the current Labor government’s policy. Farley further argued that skilled workers and backpackers are essential for the agricultural sector and should be categorized separately from general migration figures.

This public statement prompted an immediate response from Hanson, who issued a clarification to address what she described as confusion regarding the party's platform. The party maintains a platform focused on restrictive immigration, and Hanson’s intervention serves to realign the public messaging with the party's official stance. This incident is the second time Hanson has had to publicly correct or clarify statements made by Farley regarding the party's approach to immigration policy.

While Farley emphasized the economic necessity of temporary workers to keep Australia fed, the party leadership appears intent on maintaining a clear distinction between their restrictive migration goals and the policies currently pursued by the Labor government. The disagreement highlights an internal tension between the party’s broader immigration rhetoric and the practical economic concerns raised by some of its representatives.
