Pauline Hanson stuns with huge announcement

This left her critics' heads spinning

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has revealed she’s got some friends in very high places, after confirming today she’s been invited to the inauguration of US president-elect Donald Trump.

Access to the event is very restricted – leading to questions about who in the incoming administration has been paying attention to all of Hanson’s highly enthusiastic pro-Trump statements.

‘Would you believe it? I have been gifted tickets to the Presidential Inauguration Ceremony of [Donald Trump] – What an honour,’ she tweeted on Monday. ‘Because of my duties to the people of Queensland & Australia I’m still deciding if I can attend the inauguration.’

The controversial political figure later told the press that she had decided not to attend, citing a list of responsibilities in Australia.

 

‘I thought about it for a minute, it would be a fantastic opportunity, but I’ve got too much happening in Australia,’ she said. ‘It’s more important for me to be in Australia. I really want to have a big impact.’
