With One Nation riding high in the polls, Pauline Hanson has been greeted as a major figure on the political world stage.
In this 7NEWS Spotlight exclusive to air on Sunday at 8.50pm on Seven and 7plus, Liam Bartlett follows Senator Hanson from Australia to the UK, gaining extraordinary access as she seeks guidance from the darlings and delinquents of the UK’s far right.
But has Hanson’s UK visit taken her views to the extreme?

Bartlett sits down with an emboldened Hanson who for the first time reveals how her listening tour has reshaped her views on Australia’s future.
In their fiery exchange, she makes no apologies – defending new plans for the Australia she wants to see, informed by the elements of Britain she doesn’t want us to emulate. It’s raw, unguarded and at times explosive.
It’s Pauline Hanson as you’ve never seen her, with renewed determination to fight for what she believes. As she tells 7NEWS Spotlight:
“This is a chess game that we’re playing at the moment and it’s a hell of a chess game. But at the end of it, I want One Nation to win because if we can win, the people will win.”

Liam Bartlett said:
“Spending time with Senator Hanson outside her usual comfort zone has provided quite a unique opportunity for Australian voters to see and hear her in a context that may surprise them.”
“And like with any candidate who could potentially be a Prime Minister, we have challenged her views so that viewers can make an informed decision”.
