Pauline Hanson says people warming to our policies' amid frustrations with two major parties

The One Nation leader, Pauline Hanson, was just interviewed on the ABC after a surge in popularity in recent polls.

I think people are looking at our policies, what we want to do for the country and for people ... People are warming to our policies and I am pleased to see that they want to vote for One Nation now because they don't trust the two major political parties.

You don't have a former deputy prime minister to come across to a party, with his credentials, and it doesn't enhance the party.

People are drawn to Barnaby. He is just an average bloke out there fighting for the Australian people and he is so pleased to be on board with One Nation now.
