Pauline Hanson throws Steve Dickson under the bus Hanson says politicians should stay with the party they are elected to representDickson’s act of self-interest has now even been recognised by his party leader
One Nation's Steve Dickson's position is officially untenable after Federal Leader Pauline Hanson said politicians shouldn't change teams after being voted in under another party's umbrella.
On ABC's Insiders Program Ms Hanson said, "… if you are elected to a party then you should stay with that party."
"Steve Dickson's act of self-interest has now even been recognised by Pauline Hanson," LNP Shadow Treasurer Scott Emerson said.
"There's one thing Pauline and I do agree on and that is if you are elected for one team, you shouldn't change that team halfway through the game for your own self-interest."
Mr Emerson said Steve Dickson needed to come out today and either back Ms Hanson's comments and resign, or publicly explain why he disagrees.
"If Steve Dickson had any moral fibre he would have resigned months ago, given the people of Buderim a by-election and a choice about who they want representing them.”
