Pauline Hanson warned of 'implosion' as One Nation rebel speaks out

Pauline Hanson is being warned of an “implosion” of One Nation amid complaints she is turning the political party into a “dictatorship” while rumours swirl over an approach to former Labor leader Mark Latham to join her team.


In a deepening crisis over the party’s future, NSW Senator Brian Burston told Fairfax Media he was being wrongly accused of deserting One Nation and insisted he would stay loyal to the party and its leader.


But Senator Hanson moved on Friday afternoon to force him out, telling him by letter that she had lost confidence in him and had removed him as a deputy registered officer in NSW and at a federal level.


“Please consider resigning from the Senate seat and handing it back to the party,” Senator Hanson wrote.


In a stand-off over the move, Senator Burston told Fairfax Media he did not want to quit the party and that any attempt to drive him out would backfire on Senator Hanson and One Nation,


“If Pauline Hanson wants me to go she can sack me if she likes. I’m not sure what benefit that would be to the party,” he said in an interview.
