In what has been described as the "kiss of death", Pauline Hanson has named the MP she thinks should become prime minister.

The former One Nation leader – now leader of Pauline Hanson's One Nation – says Social Services Minister Scott Morrison would do a better job of leading the country than either Prime Minister Tony Abbott or Opposition Leader Bill Shorten.

Ms Hanson made the remarks in a Sunrise interview on Tuesday morning discussing a Newspoll that showed Mr Shorten had a five point lead over Mr Abbott as preferred prime minister.

"I think voters can't stand either one of them, actually," Ms Hanson said.
