A resurfaced video has renewed scrutiny of One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts after he was filmed praising an American conspiracy theorist, adding to controversy that erupted when he suggested the Bondi Beach attack may have been a "false flag" incident. The remarks have drawn fresh criticism of Roberts, who has a long history of promoting fringe theories, and raise questions about the influence such rhetoric carries within Australian political discourse via a sitting federal senator.

The footage shows Roberts speaking approvingly of the unnamed US figure, who is known for spreading conspiracy claims, reinforcing concerns that his views extend beyond the earlier Bondi comments into a broader pattern of endorsing unsubstantiated theories. The controversy comes as Roberts faces continued backlash over his earlier "false flag" remarks about the Bondi attack, which many condemned as inflammatory and disrespectful to victims.
