Hanson uses UK trip and Putin comments to push nationalist agenda
Pauline Hanson's recent UK tour, which included meetings with far-right figures and a Seven Spotlight special on "uncontrolled immigration", appears to be part of a strategy to reinforce her anti-immigration stance. Hanson also clarified her position on the Ukraine war, stating she is "totally opposed" to it, despite previously praising Vladimir Putin in 2017.
