Questions without Notice
Pauline Hanson's One Nation

My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. One Nation has called for Australia to end its membership of the United Nations, and just last week Senator Pauline Hanson dismissed concerns over Vladimir Putin's role in the deaths of almost 300 people, including 38 Australians, on flight MH17. What does this say about the government's approach to foreign policy, when a member of cabinet describes a party with this approach as 'sophisticated'? Have any diplomatic posts raised concerns about Senator Hanson's influence?
