Australian senator Pauline Hanson met British far-right activist Tommy Robinson in London on July 15, 2026, according to verified reports. The meeting was promoted on social media by News Corp Australia's accounts, including those of Sky News Australia and The Australian.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is a convicted fraudster and was jailed for contempt of court in 2018. Hanson leads the One Nation party in Australia.
News Corp's promotion of the meeting drew criticism from anti-racism groups and some politicians, who accused the media company of giving a platform to extremist views. The Guardian reported that News Corp's social media team shared images of the pair together.
