Pauline Hanson for PM?
Umm why are supporters of ON saying Pauline will be PM, when she does not have a seat in the house of reps?
She is a senator... she can't be PM based on where she sits in Parliament.
The only way I can see her as PM is ON takes enough seats, so ON are comfortable for someone to resign from her party that was elected. As im guessing thry wouldn't wanted to risk the seat.
That said based on history would go independent to retain their government perks. I could only see them being paid off to resign so Pauline can get in. I guess with Gina looking to have a real shot at owning government, shed prolly pay the candidate off to get Pauline in as PM.
So then pauline takes the seat for in a by election (is that how it works?). Then if she wins her electorate she now can be PM..
