One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has said the Albanian government has signed up for a dangerous crackdown on freedom of expression by voting to support the United Nations ‘Pact for the Future’.
The 193-member world body approved the 42-page pact, which was presented during a two-day summit at the UN General Assembly in New York in September.
The comprehensive document proposes 56 ‘actions’ that countries can take: sustainable development; international peace and security; science and technology; youth and future generations and transforming global governance.
Although the pact’s provisions are not legally binding on its signatories, critics say the pact seeks to impose its globalist agenda on countries.
Argentinian libertarian President Javier Milei spoke out against the pact in his appearance at the UN, describing it as a ‘supranational program of a socialist nature’.
He said the UN is a “multi-tentacled Leviathan trying to decide what each nation-state should do and how the citizens of the world should live.”
Senator Hanson reiterated his concerns, saying the pact aimed to impose censorship by labeling any challenge to the authority of world bodies as “disinformation” that must be suppressed.
The One Nation leader said the pact ‘is not just an innocent international agreement – it sets the agenda for dangerous changes that could have a profound impact on our nation’.

Among the areas where Senator Hanson disagreed was the globally coordinated legislation on disinformation and disinformation under Action 18.
Albanians are now poised to introduce more laws that will crack down on freedom of expression, potentially targeting anyone who questions the government’s narrative. “This could severely limit public debate and freedom of expression in Australia,” she said.
She also pointed to Action 38, which calls for a transformation of global governance, with the United Nations at its center, to be “more effective, more democratic and more capable.”

“This means decisions affecting Australia could be made by international bodies, reducing our country’s ability to act independently. The UN’s influence on Australian laws and policies will only increase under Labor’s watch,” Senator Hanson claimed.
Senator Hanson also called out the UN climate policy under the pact established under Action 9.
“This requires Australia to make drastic changes to reach net zero by 2050. This will lead to coal being phased out, industries being disrupted and energy prices soaring.
“Albanians are prioritizing these globalist goals over the livelihoods of Australians, threatening jobs and economic security.
“The Albanian government has made these commitments on your behalf without proper public debate. Australians must be aware of the risks this pact poses to our sovereignty and freedoms,” she said.
