One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has announced her conservative party’s mystery new recruit as it enjoys a dramatic resurgence in the polls.
Former Liberal senator Cory Bernardi will be One Nation’s new South Australian leader, heading the party’s legislative team at next month’s state election.
“Cory has strong, sound conservative values that are an excellent fit with One Nation,” said Hanson late on Monday.
“He’s a prominent South Australian keen to make the positive differences in his home state the Liberals just can’t bring themselves to make.”
