Conservative Australian MP George Christensen, in a surprise move, has changed plans to retire from politics and will instead run for Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party at the federal election on May 21.
The announcement comes less than a week after Christensen resigned from the Nationals, which traditionally represents regional voters and which, together with the centre-right Liberals, form the LNP coalition—the incumbent government. It also comes almost a year since he announced that he would opt out of politics to spend more time with his family.
