Please observe:
Mrs Hanson, a former chip shop owner, achieved notoriety because of her extreme views on Australia's indigenous community and asylum seekers
She claimed that Asian immigrants and Australia's aboriginal people received too many welfare payments from the government and did little to help themselves.
Her opinions on asylum seekers were equally uncompromising. She called them common criminals and queue jumpers and said they did not deserve Australia's compassion.
Her anti-immigration rhetoric caused widespread offence, but did strike a chord with sections of Australia's white conservatives.
