Pauline Hanson has closed off a whirlwind WA campaign trip, labelling the Albanese Government the “most incompetent” she had seen, before saying Australia needed a “discussion” about Welcome to Countries.

More than 100 of Senator Hanson’s supporters were spotted tightly packed around a communal barbecue at Matilda Bay on Sunday afternoon.

Among bright orange shirts emblazoned with the words “I trust Pauline Hanson” were a small number of red “make America great again” hats.

Senator Hanson could be seen speaking one-on-one to Orange-clad followers queuing up to take a photo or ask her questions directly ahead of her speech to the group.

While speaking about her whirlwind WA visit, which has seen her attend the King’s Park Anzac Day Dawn Service on Friday, and visit both Kalgoorlie and Esperance, Senator Hanson criticised the Welcome to Country protesters, calling it a “crying shame.”

“It shouldn’t have happened . . . but then again, should we have had Welcome to Country? No, I don’t think so,” she said during a 40-minute speech.

But she said it had opened up a “discussion” about Welcome to Country, saying she was sick of it being shoved down Australians’ throats.

“I don’t want this division. I think it’s important we are united together,” she said.

I wouldn’t trust the Labor Party as far as I could throw them.

In her bid to grow her Senate presence through WA, Senator Hanson described the Albanese’s Labor Government as the “most incompetent” she’d ever seen.

“I wouldn’t trust the Labor Party as far as I could throw them,” she said, prompting laughter from the audience. “The trade agreements we’ve had have not been in our interest. We’re not making anything in this country anymore.”

Applause rang out when Hanson said they were going to get rid of the “climate change department” and remove Australia from the Paris Agreement.

It came after she said she wanted to “get out of the UN and WHO” and that rather than get rid of coal-fired power stations, more would be built.

Senator Hanson said it was time to boost defence spending to ensure Australia could defend itself but admitted there was no scenario where the country would not rely on American support in times of conflict.

“The world is changing very very much and we need to be prepared as a nation to defend ourselves,” she said.

“We need to build up our long range missiles.”

Joining the Queensland Senator at the sundowner were WA senate candidate Tyron Whitten and newly elected members of the WA Legislative Council — Rod Caddies and Phil Scott.
