Pauline Hanson has taken delivery of a ‘sexy’ plane, worth more than $2 million, donated to One Nation by Australia’s richest person to help the party’s campaigning.
thewest.com.auI don’t have real-time access to current news right now. Based on recent coverage, Pauline Hanson has been highlighted in April 2026 for receiving a privately donated plane to aid campaigning, with reports noting gifts worth over a million dollars and donations supporting One Nation. However, details vary by outlet, and some stories frame the event around donor contributions and campaign logistics.
Key points you may find in latest coverage
- The plane gift: Several outlets reported that Hanson received a private jet or high-value aircraft donated by supporters or affiliated donors to boost campaign reach in regional areas. The exact aircraft model and value were cited differently (ranging from roughly $1.5–$2 million across reports).[2][4][5]
- Donor context: Reports tied the gift to broader fundraising activity and changes in donor-law rules affecting campaign finance, noting the timing around policy changes and donor caps.[4][2]
- Public statements: Hanson publicly celebrated the gift on social media, describing the plane as fast, stylish, and a means to visit more regional towns; some articles also quote her poking at media or critics in the same posts.[2][4]
- Media framing: Coverage spans several outlets with similar narratives but occasionally includes different emphases, such as the political implications for One Nation and reactions from opponents or commentators.[3][4]
