Held at the Tailrace Centre in Launceston, the leader of the party outlined the Tasmanian candidates, including Senate candidate for Tasmania, Steve Mav.
The party announced Emma Goyne as candidate for Lyons, Melanie Davy for Bass, Ludo Mineur for Braddon, Steve Hindley for Franklin, Michelle Cameron for Clark and Norelle Button for the Senate.
In her opening speech, Ms Hanson outlined some of the key issues in their Tasmanian Federal Plan, including vaccine mandates, the health system and youth unemployment.
Senator Pauline Hanson said that she was pleased to have all the seats in Tasmania filled with candidates.
"We will hold the government to account. This is not the country I grew up in and this is not the country I want for my grandchildren," she said.
"I see job security going, I see what they are teaching to our kids in school, it has nothing to do with education."
Senator Hanson said that there is a severe lack of education and training for young people.
"It is up to you to face your responsibilities to provide for yourself. We have to change the mental attitude we have and what we are telling our kids."
Steve Mav echoed Senator Hanson's comments of a strong One Nation party.
"There is a strong message for Tasmanians that One Nation is in it to win it."
Key points in the One Nation plan are the push for a Royal Commission into the management of the COVID-19 pandemic by Australian governments as well as advocating for the Work Bonus Scheme to allow pensioners to earn more without reducing their pension.
The party is also pushing the establishment of four 24/7 Super Health Clinics in Tasmania.
