THE One Nation Senator denies she will change her mind and support corporate tax cuts if the federal government agrees to her wishes.

Pauline Hanson told Miranda Live she was expecting the Coalition to announce a new apprenticeship program and force multinational companies to pay more tax — but it didn’t happen.

“They had agreed to it, but it wasn’t in the budget”, she said.

When asked by Miranda Live host Miranda Devine if anything would change her mind, Ms Hanson said “no, my colleagues and I have made a final decision not to support the tax cuts.”

The Senator denied her turn around is payback for the LNP not preferencing her party in the Longman by-election.

“Miranda, I’m not that shallow”, she claimed.
