Pauline Hanson's One Nation might have failed to win a single seat in the Queensland election, but by one measure their campaign was a resounding success - the party will receive more than $1 million in taxpayer funding, up from just $53,033 at the last state poll.

The Queensland Electoral Commission pays registered political parties that poll higher than 6 percent of the first preference vote $3.14 for each vote. According to the current count, One Nation won 318,780 votes. Individual candidates in Queensland are paid $1.57 per vote.

Since 1994 Senator Hanson has contested so many state and federal elections that before last year's federal election it was estimated she had received $6 million in combined public funding.

Though the funding is meant to cover campaign expenses, parties and individuals are not required to account for how it spent.
