Holly Valance, the former Neighbours actress and singer now based in the UK, has contributed vocals to a provocative new song released by Australian One Nation leader Pauline Hanson. The track, titled Kiss Kiss (XX) My Arse, serves as a promotional piece for Hanson's politically satirical animated film, A Super Progressive Movie.
Chart-Topping Release on Australia Day
The song was launched on Australia Day and has rapidly climbed to the number one position on the Apple Music iTunes best-selling songs chart. It has outperformed tracks by prominent artists such as Keli Holiday and Harry Styles, indicating significant public interest and engagement with its content.
Lyrics Mocking Progressive Politics
The lyrics of Kiss Kiss (XX) My Arse are designed to ridicule contemporary progressive ideologies. They include direct references to trans individuals, so-called 'snowflakes', and woke culture. Specific lines from the song highlight this satirical approach:
- "MWAH You will respect my pronouns / Not all ladies have ovaries, some have a penis"
- "They say that I'm a he but I'm a she / Coz I gotta V and not a D"
- "And I don't care what people say / I'll never be a him, a them or they / Cause I'm real biological woman"
- "Fave song – from the river to the sea / No job but I bleed LGBT… Q+, ya bigot / Cause I'm a real diabolical lefty"
Holly Valance's Political Evolution
Valance, who rose to fame on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, has in recent years repositioned herself as an outspoken advocate for right-wing political causes. She is a known supporter of Nigel Farage's Reform UK party in Britain, aligning her public persona with conservative movements. Pauline Hanson revealed on social media that Valance agreed immediately to write the song for the film, stating, "When we phoned Holly Valance to write us a song for the movie, she instantly said yes." Hanson added that Valance found the film's humour effective, joking about the potential reaction from media outlets like the ABC.
Controversy Surrounding the Film
A Super Progressive Movie is an animated feature that follows four progressive characters who find themselves in a world governed by Prime Minister Pauline Hanson. The film has already sparked debate, with a planned trailer screening at Parliament House being cancelled due to concerns it might offend viewers. This controversy underscores the divisive nature of the project and its alignment with Hanson's long-standing political rhetoric.
Rising Support for One Nation
The release of the song and film coincides with a notable surge in support for One Nation among Australian voters. According to the first major poll of 2026 by Demos AU for Capital Brief, nearly a quarter of the electorate (22 per cent) would choose Hanson's party in primary voting, placing it level with the Coalition for the first time. This increase in popularity is partly attributed to the party's hardline conservative stances, including anti-immigration policies that gained traction following the Bondi Beach massacre in December, where 15 people were killed.
Overall, Holly Valance's involvement in Pauline Hanson's satirical project highlights the intersection of entertainment and politics, reflecting broader cultural and political shifts in Australia. The success of Kiss Kiss (XX) My Arse on the charts suggests that such content resonates with a segment of the population, even as it draws criticism for its provocative themes.
