Pauline Hanson delivers CPAC London speech to mostly empty seats
Australian Senator Pauline Hanson ended her trip to Britain and Europe on a muted note, after around 120 people attended her speech at a political conference in London on Saturday. The event highlighted the international networking of populist right-wing movements.
Australian senator and One Nation leader Pauline Hanson addressed a Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) event in London, though much of the hall remained empty, with only around 120 people attending to hear the speech.
The event was the final stop of Hanson's trip to Britain and Europe, which wrapped up on a largely muted note. CPAC gatherings are known internationally as platforms where conservative and populist right-wing movements network with one another.
The low turnout has raised questions about Hanson's international drawing power, though One Nation maintains the event still strengthened the global connections of Australia's populist politics.
