Tony Burke says Pauline Hanson 'hates my part of Sydney' after 'hit list' threat

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has hit back at Pauline Hanson after the One Nation leader shared a list of Labor-held electorates that her party will target at the next federal election, which included Burke's Western Sydney seat of Watson."She hates my part of Sydney, and she said so You feel unwanted, you're not wanted to be there," she said.In the same interview, Hanson said there were "certain" suburbs "people can't go into" and named Lakemba when asked to be more specific.The rally in Western Australia on Wednesday — at which Hanson revealed her party's Labor-targeted "hit list" — was not the first time One Nation has indicated it has plans to target electorates in Western Sydney.After the party's historic win in a May by-election in the regional NSW seat of Farrer, One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce said: "Western Sydney here we come."While a recent RedBridge/Accent poll suggested One Nation was now the most popular political party in the country — with a projected primary vote of 31 per cent to Labor's 28 — Hanson's party may not enjoy such levels of support in Western Sydney.One Nation only received 3.2 per cent of the vote in Burke's seat of Watson in the 2025 federal election — a 2 per cent decrease from the 2022 election.However, in Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen's more-outer-west Sydney seat of McMahon, One Nation polled somewhat higher, taking 8.73 per cent of the primary vote — a 3.69 per cent increase from 2022
