Pauline Hanson will reportedly ask the Senate to refer Fraser Anning to the High Court in a ploy to regain a One Nation seat.

Anning had separated from One Nation on the day he swore into Senate.

According to The Australian, Hanson reportedly suggested Anning is not fit to sit in the Senate as he was an ‘undischarged bankrupt or insolvent’ in a letter to President of the Senate Scott Ryan.

If Anning is found unfit for Senate, Hanson’s sister Judy Smith would likely replace him, giving One Nation back their four seats.
