Life

After graduating from high school, Hübner completed a law degree. He has the academic degree Mag. Dr. and works as a lawyer in Vienna.

Hübner has held various functions in the FPÖ since 1988 and is a member of the party arbitration tribunal. He acted as the spokesman for Andreas Mölzer's personal committee in the 2004 European elections , which also included Ewald Stadler , Otto Scrinzi , Johann Gudenus and Rudolf Nowotny .

In the national elections in 2008 , Hübner ran for fifth place on the FPÖ regional list of Vienna and was the top candidate in the Vienna South-West regional constituency. He achieved a direct mandate in this regional constituency and was sworn in as a member of parliament on October 28, 2008. In the FPÖ parliamentary club , Hübner took on the role of area spokesman for foreign policy, Europe and development cooperation.

In February 2012, Hübner and his party colleague Johann Gudenus visited the Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov wanted in Austria for inciting murder . Gudenus then agreed with Kadyrov that the Chechens in Austria were “ almost exclusively asylum fraudsters and economic refugees ” who could return safely. The visit aroused massive criticism, including from Amnesty International (AI) and the Greens .

At the beginning of June 2016, at the annual congress of the right-wing extremist society for free journalism , Hübner gave a lecture on “mass immigration to Austria” and the “background to the political change” of the Austrian federal government. As a result of the criticism of Huebner's statements at this event that had been rated as anti-Semitic , he announced on July 25, 2017 that he would no longer stand on the FPÖ's list in the early National Council election on October 15, 2017 .

At the invitation of the government of Cambodia , Hübner observed the election there on July 29, 2018 and assessed it as correct. Since Prime Minister Hun Sen has suppressed critics and previously dissolved the largest opposition party, this election is rejected as unfair by the EU and human rights organizations.

The FPÖ sent him to the federal electoral authority for the 2017 and 2019 National Council elections .
