Pauline Hanson may lose Senate seat to Greens

Pauline Hanson is at risk of losing her senate spot, as voters turn their backs on the One Nation founder. Hanson is trailing behind the Queensland Greens candidate Penny Allman-Payne for the race to the Senate.

Her party has polled 7.8 per cent of the Senate vote as of this morning, well short of the quota, to the Greens’ 14 per cent.

Her party has been present during “freedom rallies” protesting against the public health measures.

She was first elected to the Senate for Queensland in 2016 after serving in the House of Representatives in the 1990s.
