One Nation leader Pauline Hanson says her trip to Europe did not cost taxpayers "one cent" but has not revealed how it was funded.
In her first public remarks since returning to Australia, Senator Hanson spoke in Western Australia on Tuesday to defend her travel and hit back at criticism of several inflammatory anti-immigration comments she made while away.
She spent more than a week abroad, including speaking at two conservative conferences in the UK and attending a fashion show in Italy with her billionaire donor Gina Rinehart, with whom she was also spotted poolsideat a luxury hotel in Sicily.
Asked about Ms Rinehart's influence, Senator Hanson said the mining magnate was a "very proud, patriotic Australian" and "backs" One Nation because she sees the same thing in the party.
