Rising discontent with major parties could see a resurgence in support for One Nation at the ballot box, as Pauline Hanson hopes to play kingmaker in the next parliament.
As recent polls showed an uptick in primary support, Senator Hanson said the right-wing minor party would hold considerable influence over the outcome of Saturday's election.
"People are not happy with either of the major political parties, and that reflects the policies we have put out," she told AAP.
"People are looking at that and they want honesty .. and fighting for Australians and Australian values.
"The majors have forgotten about this, and the biggest thing affecting people is housing and the cost of living."
The latest YouGov poll showed One Nation had a 10.5 per cent primary vote, more than double the amount it received at the 2022 poll.
It has led to optimism within opposition ranks that the strong showing could flow back to the coalition in several marginal seats and defy national polls that show Opposition Leader Peter Dutton trailing.
The coalition has given its second preference to One Nation on its how-to-vote cards in many key seats, but Senator Hanson insists the arrangement is not a formal preference deal.
"A lot of the sitting members within the Liberal Party agree with my policies, they know we're on the same page," she said.
"It's sending a clear message to conservative voters that we are seen to be working together.
"Labor since 1998 has put One Nation last. You think I'll reward them? No way in the wide world."
The coalition putting One Nation second in preferences is a far cry from the late-1990s, when the Liberals placed the minor party last on its how-to-vote cards.
Mr Dutton avoided questions on Tuesday on the coalition directing preferences to One Nation.
"We've taken the decision that we want to make sure that Australians can preference us first," he told reporters in Moss Vale.
"That's the most important way to be able to change this government."
Senator Hanson, who infamously declared in her 1996 maiden speech that Australia was in danger of being swamped by Asians and once wore a burqa into the Senate chamber, has more recently campaigned on cost-of-living issues.
But curbing immigration remains part of One Nation's policy platform.
"(Anthony Albanese) keeps saying he's pulled back on immigration, and they haven't," she said.
"Immigration is the highest in history and they can't be trusted with that."
One Nation wants to cut immigration levels by 570,000 people, capping visas at 130,000 per year.
Coalition MPs have sought to distance themselves from any association with Donald Trump.
But Senator Hanson said many of the measures embraced by the US president, such as a crackdown on immigration and tariffs, had been policies One Nation had supported before he came to office.
"Don't tell me I might be associated with Trump. I've been saying (those policy ideas) for a long time," she said.
"I was around in politics long before Trump came in."
Senator Hanson said she was optimistic about the party's chances in each of the six state Senate races, as well as in the NSW seats of Hunter and Paterson.
