Pauline Hanson secured taxpayer-funded solar rebate despite calling for subsidies to large-scale renewables to end

Pauline Hanson, leader of the One Nation party, utilized a taxpayer-funded rebate to install solar panels on her Queensland home. This occurred despite her public criticism of government subsidies for renewable energy projects and net-zero policies. Information obtained through freedom of information laws revealed Hanson's participation in the small-scale renewable energy scheme (SRES). The Clean Energy Regulator data showed she was among three conservative federal MPs who accessed the scheme. While Hanson has called for an end to subsidies for large-scale renewable projects, her spokesperson stated that she supports rooftop solar.
