Pauline Hanson is defending her handling of the removal of staffer Sean Black, insisting the backlash is driven by One Nation’s surge in the polls, describing it as a “political witch hunt”. Barnaby Joyce has conceded the scandal may have hurt the party’s support as new polling shows a dip in One Nation’s vote. Senator Hanson believes the drop is due to a combination of reasons, arguing major parties feel threatened by growing support at the state and federal levels.
