Pauline Hanson has claimed One Nation is the victim of selective editing, entrapment and a “political attack” by al-Jazeera in co-ordination with the ABC, in her first public appearance since an explosive secretly filmed documentary was revealed.

The mystery is how this woman without qualities, with all her incapacities, infelicities and ineptitudes, ever came to hold the highest office. Or why she wanted it. No one made her do it, greatness was not thrust upon her; indeed, it’s said she planned for it all her life.
