During a press conference in Adelaide, Pauline Hanson, leader of the One Nation party, was recorded referring to a woman as a 'nasty b***h' following an incident where her media advisor, Richard Henderson, told a female reporter to 'shut up.' This occurred as Hanson and Barnaby Joyce were leaving the venue after addressing the media. The exchange was captured on camera, showcasing Henderson's dismissive behavior towards the reporter, which prompted Hanson to express that she would have confronted the journalist herself. The incident has sparked backlash, particularly regarding the treatment of female reporters at political events. Henderson later acknowledged his inappropriate conduct, stating he had been reprimanded for his actions. In the same press conference, Hanson unveiled her proposal to abolish the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) and introduce a new royalty on natural gas production, arguing that ordinary families are not benefiting from Australia's resource wealth. She criticized the government for failing to secure a fair return from the resource sector, emphasizing the need for increased private sector involvement to enhance energy production and drive economic growth.
