In the latest Newspoll, Senator Pauline Hanson's political party, One Nation, came out on top.

Love her or loathe her, political survivor Pauline Hanson is rising again, winning a new generation of voters and topping the polls

She has been mocked, condemned, ridiculed, defeated, and written off more times than most politicians would care to remember.

Who could forget when she wore a burka - not once, but twice - into the chamber of the Australian Senate; recorded a video to be released if she was murdered (it was released, though she wasn't murdered); warned her country about being swamped by Asians; and then, when a reporter asked if she was xenophobic, replied "please explain".

Yet somehow, Australian politician and leader of One Nation Pauline Hanson is still standing.
