Pauline Hanson has claimed thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded flights and chauffeured vehicles to headline political fundraisers for One Nation, raising questions about whether she is in potential breach of parliamentary rules.
Hanson has previously criticised MPs’ use of taxpayer-funded entitlements, but Guardian Australia can reveal the Queensland senator billed taxpayers for multiple flights to campaign alongside her daughter, Lee Hanson, who was the party’s lead Senate candidate in Tasmania at the last election. This included a return trip from Hobart to Sydney to appear live on Channel Seven’s Sunrise program.
