Pauline Hanson and Fatima Payman have clashed over race, religion and politics.
At the centre of their unlikely alliance is a fight over parliamentary staffing, with the three accusing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of unfairly determining who gets more staff and calling for the system to be taken out of the prime minister's hands.
The unlikely trio appeared together at Parliament House on Thursday, arguing the way personal staff are allocated to politicians is unfair and lacks transparency.
Their grievance centres on a feature of Australia's parliamentary system: while MPs and senators employ their own staff, the prime minister has discretion over the allocation of more personal staff.
Despite their political differences, all three say they are being denied the staffing resources they need to do adequately their jobs.
Payman now has no more personal staff allocated to her.
Le has one.
One Nation, meanwhile, increased its representation at the 2025 election but says its staffing allocation did not increase accordingly.
According to AAP, modelling puts One Nation's allocation at 0.83 personal staff per parliamentarian, compared with 4.09 for Labor and 1.47 for the Coalition.
Hanson, Payman and Le argue the differences show the need for a more transparent and independent system.
According to The Conversation, Le told reporters on Thursday there were "no published criteria, no explanation, no appeal" for staffing decisions.
The three have threatened to pursue legislation changes when parliament returns in October to remove the prime minister's power over non-government personal staff allocations and give the responsibility to an independent authority.
