One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has criticised far-left party the Greens for printing campaign posters in Punjabi ahead of a crucial federal by-election.
The Queensland senator shared two photos of four corflutes for Greens candidate for Farrer, Richard Hendrie, two of which were written in an Indian script.
“The Greens have erected the following signs, appealing to the Indian community in Punjabi,” she wrote.
“The Greens ignore the vital need to use English for those who want to call Australia home. English is critical for economic, social and practical survival, especially during elections where debate and policies help voters form a view on who is best suited to lead a community or region.
“Remember, the Greens stand for open borders, mass migration and further division in this country.”
Early voting for the Farrer by-election begins next week and One Nation are asking for your support in electing our candidate, David Farley.
What’s interesting in this by-election are the corflute signs that are popping up across the electorate.

Farrer, which borders Victoria and South Australia in NSW’s southwest and is the second-largest electorate in the state, was 2% Indian-born at the time of the 2021 Census, with 2,078 people (1.2% of the population) speaking Punjabi at home, making it the most common language other than English.
The May 9 by-election for former Liberal leader Sussan Ley’s seat looks likely to be won by either One Nation candidate David Farley or independent Michelle Milthorpe.
Labor is not running a candidate, and the Liberals and Nationals have said they will preference Mr Farley over Ms Milthorpe, who is being supported by left-wing activist fundraising group Climate 200.
The by-election was triggered by Ms Ley’s resignation from parliament after she was ousted as Opposition leader Angus Taylor following her capitulation to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on his “hate speech” and “hate groups” legislation and steadily falling poll numbers.
According to a UComms poll conducted on April 9 and 10, Mr Farley for One Nation is winning 30.9% of the primary vote, followed by Ms Milthorpe on 30%, the Liberals on 16.1%, the Nationals on 7.1%, and Mr Hendrie for the Greens on 3.8%.
Mr Hendrie uses an assistance dog due to mental health issues, and last year told Region he suffers from dissociative identity disorder, depression, PTSD, and eating disorders, and has “lived experience” with substance abuse.
