They may not have red hair and look like me, but in their hearts they want to be a representative for the people," she said. Ms Hanson said the decision in the US was a result of people being better informed by the internet and social media, and not "believing what's been fed to them through the media".

She said she believed the massive shock to the economy upon the Trump victory would not last. Ms Hanson was jubilant about the result on Wednesday, popping a bottle of champagne on the steps of the federal parliament. Earlier on Wednesday, Ms Trad said if "bigoted" Mr Trump won the election, it would have an impact on peace and stability across the globe. Ms Trad had said she hoped she would not have to work with Mr Trump as the US president in her role as Queensland Trade Minister.

"I think Americans can do better than having a bigoted man as their leader," she said. Ms Trad said she was sad for Ms Clinton and for all women committed to shattering the "final glass ceiling". "I will continue to work with all Queensland's trading partners," Ms Trad said. Ms Trad told 612 ABC Brisbane that she did not think the result in the US did not mean a Trump-style outcome was likely in Australia or Queensland, in terms of a rise of One Nation. But Ms Trad said that Queensland was no stranger to "third parties", such as the Palmer United Party, Family First and One Nation.

"But to say that this is actually a reflection or a premonition of what's going to happen in Australia or Queensland is drawing a bit of a low bow," she said. Ms Trad said Queensland could also be faced with a reduction in exports due to Mr Trump's policies around stepping back from free trade agreements. Nominal exports are worth more than $2 billion to the Queensland economy. Ms Trad said we could also take heed of the Brexit result and ask why people in advanced democracies believed the economy was not working in their favour.
