Pauline Hanson: Australian anti-Islam MP 'confident' of comeback
Controversial Australian politician Pauline Hanson says she is "quietly confident" of being returned to parliament at the 2 July election.
Ms Hanson gained worldwide notoriety when she led the anti-immigration One Nation party in the 1990s.
She lost her seat in 1998 and has since repeatedly failed to gain a position in state and federal legislatures....
.....Ms Hanson was a hugely controversial figure in Australian politics after she was elected to Australia's lower house in the 1996 election.
She claimed in her maiden speech to parliament that "mainstream Australians " were victims of "reverse racism" and criticised welfare for Indigenous people.
She also said Australia was "in danger of being swamped by Asians".
More recently Ms Hanson has strongly supported banning Muslim refugees, mosques and halal certification in Australia
