Pauline Hanson has tested positive to Covid just two days out from the federal election.
The One Nation leader is not vaccinated.
She is now in isolation.
Senator Hanson has previously slammed the Covid vaccine.
“I’ll tell you honestly,” she told Queensland business leaders in December.
“I haven’t had the jab, I don’t intend to have the jab, I’m not putting that shit into my body.”
The upper house descended into chaos late last year after Senator Hanson attempted to introduce a private member’s bill seeking to ban mandatory vaccinations and overturn state and territory requirements for full vaccination to be required in some settings.
The bill was defeated by an overwhelming majority but five Coalition senators crossed the floor to vote for it.
The renegades included Liberal Senator Alex Antic and Matt Canavan from the Nationals.
More to come.
