Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party has quietly wiped an article comparing its policies to those of US President Donald Trump.
A webpage titled 'Want Trump's action and style, then it's One Nation you need' returned a 404 error on One Nation's website on Wednesday.
Website archives last confirmed the page was active until at least August. In that same month Trump's approval rating dropped to just 33 per cent, the lowest point of his presidency.
The removal of the blog post appears to have coincided with the United States' midterm elections on November 3, which saw a 'blue wave' deliver a stunning rebuke to Trump.
The Democrats comfortably won the majority of seats, meaning the 47th President will spend the rest of his term without his Republican Party ruling over congress.
Hanson has previously been vocally supportive of Trump and this time last year attended a Halloween party at Trump's Mar-a-Lago compound in Florida before attending the Conservative Political Action Conference there.
'It's wonderful to be in America with a re-energised, strong, and patriotic leader who has the best interests of his people at heart,' she said at that conference.
One Nation's removed page, initially posted in January 2025, claimed 'the actions of current U.S. President Donald Trump echo strongly with the principles and policies of Pauline Hanson's One Nation.'
Pauline Hanson's One Nation website featured an article (above) comparing it to Donald Trump's Republican Party from January 2025 to, at least, August 2026

It specifically highlighted similarities between its policies and Trump's regarding immigration and border security, energy and environment, culture and gender, and national sovereignty.
'As the Presidency rolls on, the stark similarities between Trump's administration of the world's wealthiest nation and the policies One Nation seek's to implement will become apparent,' One Nation's website read.
The disappearance of the article was noticed online, with one commenter writing: 'They've taken it down after Trump's Republicans suffered a colossal midterm defeat.
'Do they think Australians are dumb?'
Dozens of commenters were shocked to see Hanson's party attempt to drop the association with Trump, given her previous support of him.
'Hiding it is just sad,' one wrote.
'If they didn't have double standards, One Nation wouldn't have standards at all,' another said.
'They suddenly got embarrassed about who and what they aspire to be,' another wrote.
Commenters slammed Hanson (above) for backtracking the comparison to Trump following the dip in his popularity
'I think hiding the Trump association once it's no longer as popular is even more pathetic than having a Trump association,' another said.
'Hope Aussies teach her the same lesson Trump is getting in midterms,' another wrote.
'Clive Palmer had the guts to fully embrace a Trumpian style campaign, failed twice and didn't pretend otherwise. I'm glad Clive failed but at least he didn't pretend to cut ties with the American paradigm that suited him,' another said.
Others joked about wanting to see Australia's richest person, Gina Rinehart – a One Nation supporter, invest in Hanson's party the same way tech billionaire Elon Musk invested in Trump's campaign.
'Let's just hope Gina blows as much money as Musk on this misguided political venture,' one wrote.
'I'd kind of like to see a $300million PR campaign for Pauline just out of morbid curiosity,' another said.
