Pauline Hanson Criticizes Quiet Signing of UN Pact as a Threat to Australian Sovereignty
Senator Pauline Hanson of One Nation has raised serious concerns over the Albanese Labor government’s quiet signing of the United Nations’ “Pact for the Future,” arguing that the agreement poses significant threats to Australia’s sovereignty and freedoms.
Taking to social media platform X, Hanson said the pact is not merely a harmless international agreement but a dangerous step towards major changes that could deeply affect Australia’s independence.
Hanson outlined several key areas in the U.N. pact that she believes will harm the nation, emphasising its provisions on misinformation laws, global governance, and climate policy.
When approached by The Epoch Times for a response, a spokesperson from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) expressed satisfaction with Australia’s participation in the Pact for the Future.
“Australia looks forward to engaging with countries to implement the Pact,” the spokesperson said.
Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong also defended the government’s decision, describing the pact as a crucial step towards global cooperation in addressing pressing challenges.
