Melbourne:Australia's right-wing One Nation party is facing criticism for using AI-generated images in its election advertisements, which include depictions of a suicide bomber and a home invader. These ads were released in the lead-up to the upcoming election in Victoria, a state in southeastern Australia.

According to Anadolu Agency, these controversial images were shown during One Nation's official election campaign launch at Melbourne's Crown Casino. The event, held on Saturday, featured the party's candidates and outlined its policy platform.

The AI-generated content included a sequence portraying a man in an explosive vest, labeled as a suicide bomber, and another image of a masked intruder entering a home. These advertisements are part of a larger campaign with a strong focus on crime, public safety, and societal issues.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported that One Nation's election platform prioritizes law and order, advocating for harsher penalties for violent young offenders, increased police recruitment, and the establishment of a 24-hour bail court. The party also supports a controlled trial of capsicum spray for self-defense and proposes adopting UK-style self-defense laws for confronting home intruders.

Nationally led by Pauline Hanson, a far-right politician, One Nation has also committed to abolishing Victoria's treaty with Indigenous people and canceling the planned Suburban Rail Loop. The state election in Victoria is set for November 28, with One Nation fielding candidates in all 88 lower-house electorates.
