One Nation leader Pauline Hanson says her stance on key issues predate those of U.S. and UK conservative figures Donald Trump and Nigel Farage and remain unchanged over her 30 years in Parliament.

Hanson’s comments were made outside Parliament on Jan. 19, while she remains barred from the Senate, and as her party enjoys a surge in public support.
