EMBATTLED One Nation Senator Pauline Hanson is ­advertising a farmstay cottage in Queensland which she ­failed to declare to Parliament.

Senator Hanson, who wants Australians to “demand more accountability” from parliamentarians, is advertising the one-bedroom self-contained cabin on her 60ha property for $110 a night.

According to the website, which is registered to Senator Hanson, fans can rent the cabin which overlooks “rolling pastures” and has reverse-cycle air conditioning, a microwave and electric blankets.

Home comforts inside Pauline Hanson’s self-contained accommodation on her farm.

Guests are encouraged to relax on the veranda, observe the wildlife or enjoy a barbecue by the creek.

There is also a “very comfortable” sofa-bed for ­add­itional guests who are charged an extra $25 a night.

ASIC company searches reveal the accommodation business, which started in 2015, is registered to Senator Hanson but it does not appear on her Register of Senators’ Interests.

The property website, which was updated last month, lists contact details for Senator Hanson’s partner Tony.

Senator Hanson’s chief of staff James Ashby said since being elected to Parliament in July, the One Nation leader no longer allows holiday-makers to stay at the property.

Mr Ashby said Senator Hanson had also made unsuccessful attempts to remove the website and listing from a local tourism website.

“It’s no longer used for commercial purposes,” Mr Ashby said.

Under parliamentary rules, MPs and senators must declare shareholdings in public and private companies and any real estate assets “and the purpose for which it is owned”.

The cabin overlooks a billabong and rolling pastures.

Where Senator Hanson’s guests once rested weary heads.

Senator Hanson declared in 2010 she would not sell her home to a Muslim.

Senator Hanson’s register lists two homes in the area which she says are residential.

Senators are also required to list any income from investments, annuity arrangements, pensions or government assistance schemes.

No minimum income is specified in the rules and senators are to “use their discretion”.

Following recent parliamentary expenses scandals, Senator Hanson lobbied for “heavy fines” for politicians who do the wrong thing.

It is not the first time one of Senator Hanson’s properties has been in the spotlight.

In 2010, while trying to sell her farm, the One Nation leader said she would not sell her home to a Muslim or “an Asian who lives in another country’’.

She was then forced to take her property off the market.

The party is also embroiled in drama over the purchase of a light plane with donor funds.
