Pauline Hanson states she believes her party has been unfairly targeted following the leak of footage showing her party’s candidate Steve Dickson in a Washington DC stripclub.

She pointed out Kevin Rudd’s 2003 visit to a New York strip club, though the manager of this club has stated in the past Rudd urged his colleagues to leave and behaved like a gentleman during his short visit.

The footage of Dickson, conversely, shows him making several derogatory comments about the dancers and touching one of them inappropriately.
