Pauline Hanson echoes Trump as she lashes out about ‘fake news’ reporting on lavish London hotel

The Guardian Australia (Australian politics) 7 Aug 2026

This profile reflects public disclosures as recorded in the sources above; it is not exhaustive and reporting lags vary by source. Donations to a politician's party as a whole are not attributed to individual members, per AEC disclosure rules — see the Money section. "Documented actions" summarise votes and public statements sourced from parliamentary records; absence of an action here does not mean it didn't happen, only that it isn't captured in these sources yet.
