Pauline Hanson makes an enticing offer to fans in mid-air video

Never say Pauline Hanson doesn’t make the most of every moment.

The One Nation leader had “a spare moment” while waiting for her small plane to take off today so she decided to go live on Facebook, even as the aircraft bumped along a country airstrip.

With her chief of staff James Ashby piloting the plane, Hanson was heading from west Ipswich near Brisbane to Griffith in New South Wales for her third road-trip with the Burrumbuttock Hay Runners, a group of truck drivers who volunteer to ferry hay to drought-stricken farmers.

During her nine-minute mid-air livestream, the outspoken senator addressed immigration, medicinal marijuana, energy costs, housing affordability and more.

She thoroughly agreed with Dick Smith in blaming high immigration levels for Australia’s unaffordable housing.

“I’ve been stating this for many years, we cannot keep increasing the population, we’ve got the highest immigration levels of any Western country in the world and if we keep this up we won’t be able to sustain our way of life, our standard of living,” Hanson said.

On energy, Hanson reckoned Australia needed to dump dreams of relying on renewables, which she blamed for “sky-rocketing electricity costs.”

“We have to have coal-fired power stations, it’s common sense. The renewables cannot give us the supply we need for the population,” she said. “The increasing costs of these renewables is what’s driving up our electricity costs, its driving up the cost of manufacturing, which is why they’re shutting down.”

Momentarily sidelined mid-livestream by a frog in her throat, Hanson dismissed Ashby’s offer of some water.

“I blame it on old age,” she joked. “Your throat tends to go on you and you get all clogged up.”

The senator had a different thirst-quenching offer for fans. After her trip with the hay-runners, she said she was heading for Longreach in Queensland, where she’d host a ‘politics in the pub’ night at the Birdcage Hotel on Saturday.

“I’m shouting the first round of 100 beers so if you’re there, come and join us,” she said, just before her phone ran out of reception.
