Leadership Matters: One Nation leader Pauline Hanson key speaker at breakfast event

And that’s a wrap. Senator Hanson has ended her address to warm applause and some cheers.

It’s been an eventful Leadership Matters event, with protesters making their feelings known and the audience getting a fascinating insight into how the One Nation leader thinks.

Thanks for joining us and goodbye.

Senator Hanson has reacted to a video of Barnaby Joyce appearing on the ABC on Monday night, where he shouts at his dog live on air.

Her reaction? That’s Barnaby.

“I laugh, that’s Barnaby you know, this is why a lot of the people around me, we’re just human,” she said.

Senator hanson was then shown a picture of Donald Trump to react to, which makes her think of his phrase: “Fight, fight, fight.”

Senator Hanson has been asked if she wants to be PM, she says she’s open to the best person in the party leading.

“Let me just tell you, it’s not about Pauline Hanson becoming prime minister,” she said.

“I want the right person in the right job and if theres’s someone that I believe can do a better job than I can, you go for it.”

Senator hanson said that she had not had a “full discussion” with Barnaby Joyce about if he was the prefered man for the job and wouldn’t be drawn into whether her daughter Lee Hanson would be PM one day.

Senator Hanson says Trumps approach to deportations was a “great way of doing it”.

She was asked by The West Australian editor-in-chief Christopher Dore about calls for mass deportations and whether it would be akin to scenes out of the United States.

“Trump said, ‘OK, all those that are in the country illegally, I’ll actually give you a one-way ticket out of the country’,” she said.

“He said then you can apply to come back in some time later but if you don’t go and we find you, you will never get back to the country again.

“Over two million took that runway ticket and 600,000 they had round up. I think that’s a great way of doing it.”

Senator Hanson says she has never advocated for the White Australia Policy.

The policy was brought up when Ms Hanson spoke with far-right Briton Tommy Robinson.

Senator Hanson says she’s been misconstrued.

“That’s what he asked me, when did it change (to allow migrants from muslim countries)?” she said.

“I said that changed in 1973 when Gough Whitlam came and he changed the White Australia Policy.

“That’s why we started to get people from these other countries, it was not me advocating the White Australia Policy.”

Senator Hanson says Australia is dependent on other nations for goods, instead of building it itself.

“This year, the Middle East blew up and Australia found out the truth, we hold just a few weeks of fuel and barely any fertiliser,” she said.

“The Prime Minister was on the phone begging our neighbours for help, that should never happen to a country like ours.

“We have the resources, we have the workers, we have the know-how, what we don’t have is a government that believes in this country.”

Senator Hanson has talked up WA’s economic importance to the country, saying it pays the nation’s bills.

“Western Australia helps to pay this nation’s bills, your royalties fund the services here, your taxes fund them everywhere else,” she said.

“Western Australia is home to roughly one in nine Australians but generates one in six dollars of national economic output.

“Western Australia generates almost one in $5 of national business investment, it generates almost half of the country’s exported goods.

“But your businesses are being held back by this Government.”

Senator Hanson has hit out at the Federal Government’s decision to ban the live sheep export trade.

She said it was a result of Government not listening.

“Canberra banned the live sheep trade, an industry this State built,” she said.

“The farmers said don’t do it, the transporters said don’t do it, the State Government said don’t do it.

“Canberra did it anyway to appease animal activists and inner-city voters 3000km away, not the Western Australians whose livelihoods depended on the trade.”

Senator Hanson has put a question to the business leaders in the room: “Are you doing as well as you could be?”

She asked those who feel like they are not to sit down, the majority of the room took a seat.

“That is what I hear right across Australia and it’s the same everywhere, not enough people still standing,” she said.

“Businesses aren’t doing well, their workers aren’t doing well, their customers aren’t doing well.”

Senator Hanson has kicked off her speech by addressing her recent trip to the United Kingdom, where she spoke at a conservative conference and with controversial far-right figure Tommy Robinson.

“Let me tell you straight. I sat down with a lot of people, some I agree with, some I don’t,” she said.

“But Australians are sick of politicians who only ever talk to people who already agree with them.

“I went to Britain to see up close what happens when a government gets things wrong. Immigration. Spending. Energy.”
