Serial candidate Pauline Hanson has had a mixed welcome on the hustings in Laidley.

The One Nation leader — who lives in the electorate of Beaudesert but is running in neighbouring Lockyer — was attempting to visit a local supermarket during a street walk with media.

While she campaigned across the road, her representative asked store staff if Ms Hanson could come over to greet locals.

But the out-of-towner’s supporter was told she would only be welcome if should describe the difference between the 2001 and 2013 floods that devastated the community.

Hanson was a no-show at the store as staff said they’d had their fill of media during the floods and didn’t want the shop turned into a circus.

For the record, the 2013 flood was the worst in living memory.
