One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has urged Anthony Albanese to follow his friend UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer into resignation.

Sir Keir resigned just two years after winning a supermajority at the 2024 election, but saw his support disappear amid policy backflips and immigration concerns.

The parallels between the two centre-left leaders became an attack for Ms Hanson on Tuesday, given Mr Albanese won a supermajority in 2025 and has seen his popularity slide.

Asked on Tuesday whether Mr Albanese should follow the example of the departing British PM, Ms Hanson said: “I’d love it, and so would the Australian people.”

“As it’s proven, I started up ‘Fire the Liar’ with $4.8 million in funding from the Australian people – donations.

“It’s clear that the people don’t want Anthony Albanese as the Prime Minister of this country any longer … We’ve got an election one and a half years down the track.”

Ms Hanson compared Mr Albanese’s fortunes to Sir Keir’s, saying the most pressing issue in the UK was “mass migration” and which she said was being mirrored in Australia.

“The big issue in Britain that I can see is about the mass migration, people coming into the country, people just don’t feel they’re British anymore,” she said.

“Our economy is in the toilet actually and I think it’s a mess, a trillion dollar debt, the government spending is out of control… So it needs to be changed.”

Sir Keir formally announced his resignation on Monday, saying he had listened to members of the Labour Party questioning whether he was the right person to lead.

“I have heard the answer and I accept that answer with good grace. I will resign as leader of the Labour Party,” he said.

Mr Albanese paid a warm tribute to his British counterpart, describing him as a friend, after attending a Labour Party conference with Sir Keir in 2025.

“I consider Keir Starmer a friend and I’m thinking of him on what must be a very tough day,” Mr Albanese said on X.

“Serving in public life is a tremendous privilege but politics can also be a harsh business.

“When the time comes for Keir to leave Downing Street, he can be proud of the contribution he has made to the country he loves.”

Mr Albanese had previously warned the UK against the changing leaders before Sir Keir’s resignation, telling Sky News it would be a bad idea.

“I must say that the history of just changing leaders is not a positive one. I’ve dealt with already four British prime ministers since I’ve been elected as prime minister,” Mr Albanese said on Sunday.

When asked whether he would urge stability, Mr Albanese replied: “I think stability is a good thing … There’s been a lot of chaos has occurred in global politics.”

Sir Keir’s resignation came after mounting pressure within the Labour Party and speculation that newly elected MP Andy Burnham would replace him.

Nominations for the Labour Party leadership will open on July 9, with a new leader expected to be in place before Parliament returns in September.

Mr Burnham has already signalled that he will contest the leadership.

A potential rival, former health secretary Wes Streeting, will support Mr Burnham’s candidacy which will likely lead to a one-person contest.
