When you think of Pauline Hanson you might think of someone that is not afraid of “serving up” her opinions. Now she plans to serve up something completely different.
Reports have indicated that Ms Hanson wants to “capitalise on her growing brand” by launching her own brewing company to launch a Pauline branded beer. She’s still yet to officially announce the beer only saying to the press, “I’m certainly interested in speaking to a range of craft brewers.”
Josh Butler of the Huffington Post took to Twitter to applaud the move and offer some names both with tongue placed firmly in cheek.
I pledge to do a shoey of the Pauline beer when it comes out

The idea reportedly came to Ms Hanson while she was enjoying a cold one with some members of her electorate and thought it was a great way to connect with her voters. While there are many making light and having fun with the idea there are some that are not happy, it is the internet after all.
Genuine question, does Australia have laws about using political office for personal profit? Because this seems… EXACTLY like that pic.twitter.com/b89JAt9hfR
