Rogue Coalition MP George Christensen prompts one of the early shocks of the 2022 election campaign, announcing he will run for Pauline Hanson's One Nation party at the May 21 election.

The details of Mr Christensen's tilt for election in 2022 are expected to be revealed at a press conference with One Nation leader Pauline Hanson later this morning.

Senator Hanson will today commit to fielding candidates in all 151 House of Representatives contests. "It's taken almost 12 months to bed down the team we're taking to voters at this election," she said in a statement. "It's a significant step up from the 2019 election when we fielded candidates in about a third of Australian electorates.

"It's been made possible only with enormous support from One Nation's membership, which has grown exponentially during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns forced onto Australian communities the past two years."George Christensen has been no stranger to controversy during his time in Federal Parliament, causing a number of headaches for Prime Minister Scott Morrison's government during the COVID-19 crisis.

Number 3 on the ticket unless they get over 30% of the vote it is an unwinable position it's purely to get his $100k ,grifting the public purse to the end

Thank goodness for some turncoats.

He will be a great asset to a party that stands for all Australians living in the Philippines

'I am concerned about the health implications of ...' Also....

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

In between trips to the 🇵🇭?

Should take long to eat through his additional retirement fund he gets for loosing an election. Thanks Pauline that’s really standard up to the system.

Yea, how does Pauline feel about the aasian wife?

He disgusts me

I am in no doubt ANYONE simple-minded enough to vote for One Nation will have no problem enabling a circus act like Christensen.

Waiting for Pauline to come out and say 'nup, i just don't like it. He's too much of a fuckwit even for us '

LNP dumped by a cheating partner 😂

Ooh, someone new to bounce ideas off

Found his place

Misery loves company.

Can't believe that somebody who was going to be investigated by the Manila police in the Philippines is still a politician.. Only two reasons Manilla police investigate people from overseas, drugs or sex crimes.. Georgie is a little bit too big for drugs 🤔 auspol auspoll

What's first policy George? Let all the hookers from the Philippines in on a permanent visa? Save you the trips across

The last refuge of scoundrels

A vote for ON,UAP is a vote for Scomo A vote for Scomo is a slap on faces of flood fire victims More of the same is a repetition of last 3 yrs All the ON ,UAP preferences are to vote in Scomo as PM

He must want to be the first ever One Nation MP to represent Manila.

A last gasp of media oxygen then off into obscurity.

so he can leech of the taxpayer

'Intention to run' Unless there's cupcakes or 10y old Philo boys, George ain't running for shit!!

Now there's a double you could spend five cents on! Waste of space!

OMG please someone just put him out of his misery. TIA. 🤦‍♀️

They’ll get on like a house on fire…not 🤣🤣🤣

He would be a perfect One nation candidate. But then again, a lot of LNP members would be.

Toodleoo

One nation have reached a new level of low taking on this whacko!

Of course he does

So he's gone from leaving parliament to spend time with his family to quitting the nationals because they're not conservative enough. To running for Poorlean's Dumb Nation party? Wow. It'd make your head spin.

Mentally, on brand.

Another LNP evacuee. The party is so toxic that people who want to run need to do it as independents. How can anyone trust the lnp to run the country when it's a rabble. What guarantee will the lnp scomo will remain pm if elected? Why won't the press ask?

FFS? Manila must have a potential sub- branch !

These wack jobs in themselves harmless but the people that vote for them not so

lol lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you have got to be kidding ...what the weird leading the weird ......OMG ,,REALLY 🤪🤪🤪🤪

Fat chance

Must have been offered a life time of free fish & chips.

One Nation - the party of nutters, tin foil hats, conspiracy theorists, anti vaxxers and so on. George will be a good fit there.

😅😅😅

Jumping into Hanson's bag of mixed nuts.

Historic all-Aboriginal senate ticket to propel 'climate justice', 'heal our land, our water'Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe says First Nations knowledge is critical to tackling climate change. Lidia Thorpe has not distinguished herself in this term of government. Missed opportunity. Are they somehow going to get India, China etc to start reducing emissions rather than increasing them? Because unless they do that, they won’t be doing a think to prevent climate change. '...Senator Thorpe will lead Victoria's first-ever all-Aboriginal senate ticket at the polls.' 'We have diversity amongst that ticket.' All Euro = not diverse. All Indigenous = diverse. Got it.
