Pauline Hanson has issued a dire warning about Australia’s future as she likened Anthony Albanese to a murderous Russian dictator.
The One Nation leader addressed the Senate on Wednesday with a speech titled ‘Brace yourself: Australia’s dystopian future under Albanian’.
In her speech, Senator Hanson compared Australia’s future under Labour, the Greens and the Coalition to that of the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin.
Stalin, who ruled the Soviet Union from 1924 until his death in 1953, is believed to have killed at least six million people trapped in the gulags – a Soviet network of forced labor camps.
Senator Hanson claimed Australians would be homebound and working for ‘nothing’ if the country continued to push for things like more sustainable energy projects and a cashless society.
She warned that ‘steak dinners’ and ‘Sunday lamb roasts’ would be a thing of the past and would be replaced by a mix of meals including lentils and worms.

“Well, I’m going to give you an insight into the future Australia under Labor, the Greens and the Coalition, well, the ones who have no backbone,” Senator Hanson said.
“You will have to toil much longer for less, and ultimately for nothing, just as they did in the old Soviet Union under Joe Stalin.”
Data from the June quarter of the Wage Price Index shows that wages are still not keeping pace with inflation for most workers.
The wage price index fell to 3.6 percent in June, compared with an annual pace of 3.7 percent in March – despite a 0.8 percent increase in average wages.
This was the first annual decline in growth since the September 2020 quarter following national Covid lockdowns.
Senator Hanson criticized Mr Albanese’s pledge to switch to green energy, claiming the government will confine Australians to their homes to combat greenhouse gas emissions.
“You will be confined to your suburb or country town and not be able to move outside its borders because it will emit too many greenhouse gases,” said Senator Hanson.
‘You can’t avoid it because all your biometric data is used to control you.’
The Prime Minister signed Australia into a G7-backed ‘climate club’ in July this year after pledging to cut the country’s greenhouse gas emissions and turn it into a renewable energy superpower.
Albanese announced Labour’s ‘most compressive climate change policy ever’ during his election campaign.
The policy aims to create 604,000 jobs, cut average household energy prices by $275 a year by 2025 and $378 by 2035, and cut emissions by 43 percent by 2030, according to Labor modeling.
Stalin, general secretary of the Communist Party that ruled the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1953, is believed to have killed at least six million people imprisoned in the gulags – a Soviet network of forced labor camps.
Senator Hanson said Aussies must say goodbye to steak and Sunday lamb, claiming that in Australia’s dystopian future, Aussies will eat a diet of insects and worms mixed with food-grade lentil puree (photo: Aussies have a barbecue at Coogee Beach on Australia Day )
In her speech, Senator Hanson also suggested Australians should now travel abroad and visit their relatives before it becomes too expensive due to the ‘tanking’ Australian dollar – which currently stands at $0.64.
The Aussie climbed to $0.65 on Wednesday, its biggest daily gain in 12 months, but is still down 4.5 percent this year.
Senator Hanson also encouraged Aussies to prepare for a change in their diet, from steak dinners and Sunday lamb roasts to insects and worms.
“Say goodbye to your steak dinner and Sunday lamb roast, and prepare your taste buds for a diet of insects and worms mixed with your lentil puree,” said Senator Hanson.
The wild statement made United Australia Party Senator Ralph Babet, who was sitting behind Hanson, laugh.
In Senator Hanson’s dystopian future, cash will also be a thing of the past, along with reliable electricity and fresh water.
The Reserve Bank, a banknote wholesaler, announced that orders from commercial banks for cash fell to a new low in the past financial year.
With major banks such as Commonwealth and ANZ now operating cashless branches, the $3.1 billion worth of new notes they ordered in 2022-2023 was “about a third of a normal year’s issuance”.
In the year to June, 424 bank branches closed, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority announced in October, with the number of branches falling by more than a third or 37 percent since June 2017.
“Forget cash – how dare you even think of making a transaction that is not monitored and requires approval,” said Senator Hanson.
‘Forget the need for reliable, on-call electricity. Just like in third world Africa – and even in northern Queensland – you buy your electricity ration in advance.
The One Nations Leader also urged Australians to let go of the ‘Australian dream’ of owning a home (pictured, auction in Paddington, Sydney)
‘Those smart meters that you have installed ensure that you can only use them if the government allows it. The same goes for your fresh water.”
Senator Hanson told Aussies to “abandon the great Australian dream of owning a home” and quoted a 2016 video of World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab saying: “You will own nothing and you will be happy’.
“You will be happy because your government says so, and woe betide the poor Australian who dares to say they are not covered by the disinformation laws,” Senator Hanson said.
“Welcome to the future, Australia, which is coming much sooner than you think, thanks to your own government. Unless of course you’re super rich.’
Sydney has been ranked as the second least affordable city in the world, receiving the dubious honor of the second year in a row Demographia International Housing Affordability Report.
According to SQM Research, the national vacancy rate in rental properties fell further to 1 percent in October.
While asking rents in the capitals increased by 0.7 percent in the thirty days leading up to November 12, contributing to a 15.5 percent increase over the past year.
The number of homes nationwide also fell, to 0.9 percent, while combined asking prices for homes rose 1.2 percent, to an average record of $805,680.
Senator Hanson shared her speech on social media platform X and received mixed reactions from social media users.

Some agreed with the politician and thanked her for speaking out on controversial topics.
‘Thank you for speaking out! People need to talk loudly about this issue,” one person wrote.
“That’s what Pauline says, one of the last politicians standing up for Australians and being ridiculed for doing her job,” a second person commented.
Others disagreed with the senator, claiming her speech was full of “far-fetched garbage.”
‘I’ve never used the term ‘cooked’ before for a number of reasons. . . But here goes, Pauline, you’re all set,” one person commented.
‘Sorry Pauline, but all I heard was far-fetched nonsense. You had a chance at a strong, legitimate argument and you squandered it on a childish argument…all we ask is that you do your job factually and professionally,” a second person wrote.
A third person shouted: “I can never tell if this is a parody or real?”
