Senator Hanson tests positive for COVID

Senator Pauline Hanson has confirmed she has tested positive to COVID-19 following a trip to Perth.

Symptoms developed on Friday last week, but testing did not return a positive result until Saturday.

“I will self-isolate in accordance with the current rules, and do my best to drive One Nation policies from home ahead of this weekend,” Senator Hanson said.

“I thank all of those people who have sent their well wishes, and apologise to those who had hoped that I would drop dead.”
