One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has declared she has what it takes to become prime minister, saying she could pull together an effective cabinet to run the government.
As support surges for her right-wing party, Senator Hanson said she "won't knock the job" of prime minister while conceding she didn't know if she would ever be elected to the job.
"I believe that I have the ability to do it," she told Sky News on Sunday.
"I'm not going to underestimate myself or say no, I can't do it, because ... have a look at what we've got now... and that's why we're in a mess.
"Whether it's Pauline Hanson as prime minister or we've got someone else to take on that job ... I will look at who's the best person to do it."
