One Nation primary vote hits 26% as students walk out against Hanson

A Roy Morgan poll puts One Nation's primary vote at 26% — up from single digits a year ago. The surge has triggered a counter-mobilisation: thousands of students walked out of classes across Australian cities on 13 August 2026 to protest Pauline Hanson, who recently called for a "monocultural" Australia. For a party long on the fringe, that is a number that concentrates minds.
