Pauline Hanson became emotional while talking to Alan Jones about the drought, forcing him to cut short their interview on Friday morning.

Pauline Hanson has broken down in tears while delivering a heartfelt message to drought-affected farmers.

The One Nation leader has established a new Senate inquiry to investigate the price paid to dairy farmers for their milk. Labor and Senate crossbenchers have teamed up to establish the inquiry which Ms Hanson says could force the competition watchdog to look at regulating milk prices to ensure the fairest return for struggling farmers.

Senator Hanson said the Liberals and Nationals tried to block the enquiry from happening, voting it down in September last year.

“They voted against it. So did Cory Bernardi,” Senator Hanson told Sydney’s Macquarie Radio on Friday morning.

“I’m not happy and this is going to be driven. The people of Australia have a right to know, the dairy farmers have a right to know.”

The Queensland senator spoke through tears about the drought to Alan Jones, who earlier this week also broke down crying over the issue.

“I want to put out a call to these farmers; please don’t give up hope,” Senator Hanson said.

“Give me an opportunity to keep fighting. I don’t want these farmers to give up.”

The emotion overcame Senator Hanson, with Jones cutting the interview short, saying she was “upset” for the farmers and “exhausted” by the bureaucracy in Canberra.
