Holly Valance Collabs With Pauline Hanson For Anti-Trans Song And It’s As Bad As You’d Expect
Holly Valance, the former Neighbours star who had a string of hits in the early 2000s, has released her first music since 2003. Unfortunately, it’s not a comeback anyone asked for.
The British-Australian singer has teamed up with One Nation leader Pauline Hanson for a track called Kiss Kiss (XX) My Arse. The song is part of Hanson’s animated film A Super Progressive Movie, which had limited screenings on Australia Day before moving to streaming.
What’s the song about?
The track mocks trans people, pronouns, and the broader LGBTQIA+ community. It also takes aim at Indigenous Australians, progressive politics, and diversity initiatives. The song reworks Valance’s 2002 hit Kiss Kiss with new lyrics designed to ridicule what Hanson calls “woke culture”.
“When we phoned Holly Valance to write us a song for the movie, she instantly said yes,” Hanson wrote on social media.
The film was already controversial.
A planned screening of the trailer at Parliament House was cancelled in November 2025 after officials deemed it may violate policy. A classification report stated the film “trivialises the rights of minority groups, including Indigenous Australians and the LGBTQIA+ community” and “mocks topics such as generational trauma, gender transition, and body dysmorphia.”
Despite this, the song topped the Australian Apple Music iTunes chart on its release day. However, music experts note that iTunes download charts require far fewer sales than streaming charts. Dr Tim Byron from the University of Wollongong told The Nightly that you might need only 5,000 downloads to top iTunes, compared to 200,000 streams to crack the Spotify top 10.
Valance’s political shift.
The former pop star has become an outspoken right-wing commentator in recent years. She is married to billionaire property developer Nick Candy, who has served as treasurer for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party. In a 2024 podcast, Valance criticised Australia for being too “woke” and said she has no plans to return.
“Everyone starts off as a leftie and then wakes up at some point after making money, working, trying to run a business,” Valance told GB News.
