A former One Nation candidate for the WA election has said she received threats after she was dumped by the party.

Sandy Baraiolo, who was contesting the southern Perth seat of Thornlie, was one of two candidates disendorsed by Pauline Hanson's One Nation party in recent days.

Ms Baraiolo told the ABC she received threats via private phone numbers after she was disendorsed, being told "to basically shut my mouth".

She said she did not know who they were from, but police were aware of the calls.

Ms Baraiolo had been told she was disendorsed over issues related to social media accounts.

She said that when WA Leader Colin Tincknell phoned her, "the reason given was I refused to follow direction and refused to work as a team".

But, she said that very day she had helped another candidate with her Facebook posts and attended a function to give support to another candidate.

"I think that clearly showed I was working well with others," she said.

Ms Baraiolo said she was disillusioned.

"I went into this with honesty and sincerity, I could understand if I acted immorally or without merit but this was not the case.

"I think if people googled my name they can see what I do within the community.

"For me it's about giving back with honesty to my community."

She said that aside from the threats, she had been amazed to have received calls of support from "so many people".

Preference deal with Liberal Party caused angst

The other candidate disendorsed was Dane Sorensen, who was contesting the rural Lower House seat of North West Central.

Mr Sorensen had been critical of the preference deal with the Liberal Party.

Many One Nation candidates had concerns they were assisting the Liberals' bid to retain power in return for one or two upper house seats.

Ms Baraiolo had herself posted a video in which she said: "It is up to you, the individual, to decide who you'd like to give your preference vote to".

She called on voters to "tick" her as number one, and then choose "whoever you'd like to be your number two, your number three and so forth".

In the video, Ms Baraiolo said she was not doing deals with anyone because she was an individual.

This followed a Facebook post on Mr Tincknell's page that called for voters to put One Nation first, and "vote others wherever you like".

This did not appear to be in the spirit of the agreement, with the Liberals expected to be placed higher than the Labor Party. The post was soon deleted.

When asked by the ABC how she felt about the preference deal with the Liberal Party, now that she had been disendorsed, Ms Baraiolo said: "I understood that would have been a party decision".

She refrained from being critical of WA Leader Colin Tincknell, who had vowed in January that there would be no deal with the Liberal or Labor parties.

Ms Baraiolo said while candidates were disappointed to first hear of the deal on the news, she said he was "just following orders".

Pauline Hanson phone hook-up meant to clear up issues

A phone hook-up between WA One Nation candidates and Pauline Hanson on 16 February was intended to clear up issues.

The Queensland Senator called for WA candidates to fall in line, saying the looming state election was a great opportunity.

It is understood she told the candidates they should not underestimate her ability to run the party.

She momentarily confused her Colins, saying she had selected Colin Barnett to be the leader of the One Nation party in WA, before another person on the phone call said she must have meant Colin Tincknell.

Ms Hanson said she had put her faith in Mr Tincknell.

She called on the candidates to trust her judgement, and reflected on her negative experience when she tried to lead the party previously and was undermined by others with their own agenda.

One Nation candidates had said they have been told not to speak to the ABC.

Early voting has started, but One Nation 'how-to-vote' cards have not been available.

Despite Ms Baraiolo and Mr Sorensen being disendorsed as One Nation candidates, it happened too late to make a difference on their respective ballot papers.

It is a situation similar to when Ms Hanson was disendorsed by the Liberal Party, but was still listed as their candidate on the ballot paper when elected in 1996.

She went on to co-found the One Nation party in 1997.
