Julia Gillard appears to have won the support of Pauline Hanson in the growing political battle over foreign workers.

PAULINE Hanson has wasted no time in attracting her usual brand of controversy, stirring the gay marriage debate during an interview with Kyle and Jackie O this morning.

In one of her first interviews since announcing her plans to return to politics, the One Nation co-founder surprised no one when she announced she was against gay marriage as well as gay adoption and IVF for gay couples.

''What a person does behind their own closed doors is their own business, but the fact is I don't agree with gay marriages, or gays adopting children, or in vitro fertilisation, and I have a lot of gay friends that agree with me, and that's my view on it,'' Hanson said earlier today.

Asked then about gay couples raising children, Hanson railed: ''But then you look at the child, have they been asked? You have a man, and then you have a woman, that's what it's all about. You think of the children as well.''

Sandilands cheekily then asked: ''Pauline have you ever been in a lesbian relationship?'', to which the flame-haired, former chip shop owner replied, ''I can't even believe you're asking me that question.''

The former One Nation leader today revealed she is planning to run in this year's federal election.

Ms Hanson says she believe there's no "representation'' of Australian life and people in Parliament.

"I'm going to put my hand up. I'm going to apply for the job and hopefully the people think that I'm the best person for that job to represent them,'' Ms Hanson told the Seven Network.

Ms Hanson said the rising costs of electricity and the 457 visa system are the issues which concern her most.

"Water is a huge issue in this country and that needs to be investigated, along with the costs of electricity. I don't think the government is doing enough to understand that people are hurting,'' she said.

Ms Hanson, who served in federal parliament from 1996 to 1998, said her political comeback was "not about revenge''.

"I went to jail, it took me over two years to get over, and it's that determination that I feel can keep me going. Why give up for something I feel that is right,'' Ms Hanson said.

Ms Hanson narrowly missed out on a spot in the NSW upper house in 2011.

She said she had lost on preferences before because politicians didn't want "someone like me in there who's going to bring them to accountability''.
