One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has launched her own fish and chip van and provided meals to Australians struggling with the housing crisis.
Before being elected to Parliament in 1996, Ms Hanson ran a fish and chip shop in Ipswich, Queensland, which has often been mocked by her political opponents.
But now Hanson is using his experience behind the fryer as a central campaign strategy ahead of next year’s election.
‘People love to say: “Go back to your fish and chip shop. Pauline.” “I’m going to do better – I’ll bring my fish and chip shop directly to you,” Mrs Hanson said.
“We’re here to listen, learn and share fish and chips.”
Ms Hanson’s first stop was Queensland Premier Steven Miles’s Murrumba electorate, where she handed out free fish and chips to rough sleepers in a makeshift tent community in Mckillop Park.
“It breaks my heart to see people living in tents,” he said. News from heaven.
“I think I’m the only MP with my own fish and chip van who is out there feeding the homeless and people really struggling with the cost of living.”

Ms Hanson called on the Albanian government to halt immigration to Australia as the housing crisis worsened.
According to official figures, long-term arrivals abroad are outpacing the construction of new homes by almost four to one.
“More people will not be brought into the country if we have our own Australians living in this situation where they are in green areas, in tents, and this is simply not happening here; it is happening all over the country, everywhere,” said. .
He claimed that the Albanian government was using immigration to prop up the economy.
“Government, lower your heads, stop your spending and then reduce immigration to net zero immigration and then address the infrastructure problems we have in Australia,” he said.
“Don’t keep bringing people because you can’t manage the economy.”
Hanson says Albanian government must stop immigration amid housing crisis
The Albanian government has pledged to build 1 million new homes over five years under a plan announced by Treasurer Jim Chalmers, but data shows this is on track to fail.
The Housing Industry Association has warned Dr Chalmers that 185,000 homes will be built a year in 2024 and 2025, 15,000 less than the target of 200,000 a year, as construction costs and high interest rates push nick.
Labor also promised to halve immigration numbers from July, which is contributing to housing shortages and sky-high rents.
However, official data showed that net migration reached a record 105,000 people in February, an increase of almost 20 percent from the previous record, and there were even more in the previous month.
Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neill said the government was still on track to meet the migration target.
