FED:'A lot riding' on Pauline Hanson's press club foray

Pauline Hanson's party is on the "cusp" of a political breakthrough, but the popular leader will need to perform at key public events if she is to translate the momentum among voters into election success, analysts say.

The One Nation founder will address the National Press Club in Canberra for the first time in her three decades in politics.

Senator Hanson was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1996, representing the Queensland seat of Oxley.

She was defeated two years later and was voted out of office, spending almost 20 years unsuccessfully running for parliament before being elected in the Senate for Queensland in 2016.

Senator Hanson was re-elected in 2022 and is more than halfway through her six-year term.
