Pauline Hanson skipped parliament this week to speak at a conservative conference at Donald Trump's luxury resort in Florida, where she was pictured alongside Gina Rinehart, Australia's richest woman.

The One Nation leader, who resided at Mar-a-Lago ahead of her address at the multi-day event run by the Conservative Political Action Conference, lambasted both major parties in Australia during the speech while praising the US administration for deporting immigrants, bombing drug cartel boats and supercharging mining projects. Tickets to CPAC ranged from $US5,000 to $US25,000.
