Pauline Hanson has reaffirmed her high political ambitions as yet another poll tilts in her favour.

One Nation has overtaken Labor for the first time in Newspoll history, as Anthony Albanese’s popularity plunged to a record low amid major party slump.

Driven by a 31 per cent surge, One Nation climbed ahead of Labor’s 30 per cent while the Coalition plummeted to 18 per cent — the same historic low that triggered the end of Sussan Ley’s leadership in February.

The PM’s approval rating hit the lowest point (-24) since the 2022 election, with 60 per cent of voters dissatisfied with his performance.

Nearly 70 per cent of voters believed the current system was failing and was “overdue for a big shake-up”, according to the poll published by The Australian.

The One Nation leader reiterated her ultimate ambition to lead the country at a rally in support of decorated soldier and accused war criminal Ben Roberts-Smith on Sunday.

“Don’t forget, under the Constitution, it does not state the Prime Minister must come from the lower house, it’s only being convention,” she said.

The Senator addressed about 100 “Justice for Ben” supporters at an event where she also ruled out asking him to stand for One Nation ahead of his trial but labelled him a “war hero” and a person “I respect and I admire”.

“No, and I don’t think it’d be fair to Ben to put that pressure on him,” she said.

“I can’t stress it enough, I have worn his shoes, I’ve faced a criminal trial . . . you do not put that on to anyone ‘will you be a member of parliament?’

“I haven’t even asked him that. Let him get through this, what he’s facing.”

She compared Mr Roberts-Smith’s prosecution to her 2003 jailing for electoral fraud — which she was later acquitted for — insisting she’d “walked in the shoes” of Australia’s most decorated soldier.

The Victoria Cross recipient was charged with five counts of war crime murder related to his deployment in Afghanistan between 2009 and 2012.

“These men and women are trained to fight, and a lot of the time to fight for their life,” she said.

“We don’t wear those shoes … the decisions they make at that time, we can’t judge them, and I’m not even going to start.”

Senator Hanson had dismissed the rumours she would convince the former Special Air Service Regiment soldier to run as a One Nation candidate against Andrew Hastie in Canning at the next Federal election as “rubbish” and “just dumb” in an interview with The Sunday Times.

The resurgent in the polls comes comes amid criticism for Labor’s May Federal Budget after Mr Albanese lied to voters over changes to negative gearing and the Capital Gains Tax.

It also landed ahead of Senator Hanson’s first formal address the National Press Club on June 17 — the first time since she was elected in 1996.

But the appearance could poses a test for the Senator after her star recruit Barnaby Joyce and NSW Senator Sean Bell muddled through awkward interviews last week about One Nation’s proposed policy on foreign ownership of residential properties.

On Sunday it was also revealed the party had also sought advice on their WA Senator’s eligibility to sit in parliament after questions about whether Tyron Whitten still holds shares in a family firm with Commonwealth contracts.

Senator Whitten and his office denied he flouted Constitutional rules, insisting he was “compliant with Section 44 of the Constitution” and not a shareholder of family civil construction firm Whittens Group.
