One Nation's Pauline Hanson has demanded to meet with fellow senator Rod Culleton this morning to discuss a letter he wrote that prompted a referral to the Queensland police chief.

Senator Hanson took the opportunity last night to remind Senator Culleton of her leadership position after he failed to attend a meeting at her office Tuesday evening to explain his actions in writing a letter that Queensland's Chief Magistrate said may be seen as "threatening a judicial officer".

Ray Rinaudo raised concerns that the contents of the letter Senator Culleton wrote to a Cairns magistrate could be seen as attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Queensland Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath on Tuesday said Judge Rinaudo had informed her of the matter, and she had asked the state's Police Commissioner to look into the Senator's actions.

Senator Culleton wrote to the magistrate last week, asking him to adjourn a case involving a person from Herberton he said had been threatened with imprisonment.

In the letter, the senator cited a section of the constitution he said allowed for judges to be recalled for "proven misbehaviour".

He wrote:

We are watching with interest the conduct of all judicial officers Australia wide, after discovering the High Court has not been conducting its business in the name of the Queen. If so, this could reflect upon all jurisdictions.

Mrs D'Ath said: "The Chief Magistrate expressed concern that the contents of the correspondence from Senator Culleton could amount to an attempt to pervert the course of justice, and threatening a judicial officer."

Senator Hanson said Senator Culleton's letter was sent "without the knowledge or consent of myself as party leader, Senator [Brian] Burston or Senator [Malcolm] Roberts".

But Senator Culleton said he had done nothing wrong.

"I'm not here to threaten people, I don't give legal advice. I would never interfere with the jurisdiction of the court," he said.

Excuse me, I'm party leader: Hanson

Last night, Senator Hanson said Senator Culleton had failed to turn up for a meeting in her office "to explain his position" on Tuesday evening.

Contacted by the ABC, Senator Culleton said the meeting had been arranged to take place in his office and it was Senator Hanson who failed to turn up.

In response, Senator Hanson said:

"Rod, [excuse me], I'm party leader. I expect you to come to my office, right, and it's about being a team player, and that's all I expect.

"I have the respect from my other senators, and I expect the same from Rod Culleton, under the banner of One Nation, Pauline Hanson's One Nation.

"Anyway, hopefully, Rod will come to my office in the morning and we'll have a discussion."

D'Ath raises concern with George Brandis

President of the Queensland Law Society Bill Potts said Mr Culleton's letter could be seen as an attempt to pervert the course of justice, and that the judiciary needed to be able to operate free from threats or inducement.

"Judges of our country are able to go about their duty without fear or favour and they should be able to do it without threats coming from senators," he said.

"Any attempt to interfere with the independence of the judiciary is a very slippery slope."

Mr Potts said there needed to be a separation of powers between politicians and judges.

"If they think the court can be influenced by threats or by promises or by some form on inducement — by any person but in particular a parliamentarian — that impinges upon the very independence that everybody deserves when they come before a court."

Mrs D'Ath said she had written to her federal counterpart, Attorney-General George Brandis.

"I am deeply concerned by the matters raised within Judge Rinaudo's correspondence, which relate to the integrity of the courts and the administration of justice in Queensland," Mrs D'Ath wrote.

"Could you please let me know what action you or your officers have taken?"
