One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson has signalled she is open to backing a Coalition government at the next election, offering confidence and supply while rejecting any formal alliance deal.

Speaking at a Minerals Council event on March 25, Hanson said her party could play a decisive role in government formation if its numbers prove critical, but made clear it would not enter into a binding partnership with the Liberals and Nationals.
