The current tilt is the anti-immigration, anti-Islam former MP's 10th shot at returning to Parliament since losing her Brisbane-based federal seat of Oxley in 1998. The double dissolution election, triggered earlier this month, leaves her needing just 7.7 per cent of the vote to make it to the Senate, instead of the usual 14.3 per cent, according to ABC psephologist Antony Green. In early April, he predicted the One Nation founder would be battling former Palmer United Party senator Glenn Lazarus for the final of 12 Senate spots all up for grabs in Queensland. On Tuesday, News Corp reported Labor and LNP strategists were resigned to the likelihood of Ms Hanson's election, with the LNP even drawing up a campaign plan to stop her. Speaking on the Today Show, Ms Hanson said she was "quietly confident" of a win but her campaign was "not about trying to beat Glenn Lazarus".

"Most people in the state wouldn't even know who their 12 senators are, so I'm not going after Glenn Lazarus' seat," she said. "If Glenn has done his job, he will get voted back in. "But what about all the other senators? Who are they? What have they done? People never hear or see from them. You can't even get into their office. "You know, those other seats are up, those other 11." In the Senate, electors vote for parties for the whole state rather than individual seats, with the votes tallied to form a quota, giving the major parties the majority of Senate spots with minor parties and independents fighting for the remaining votes.

Before Parliament was dissolved, the Coalition held six spots in the senate, with three to Labor, two to the Greens and Mr Lazarus holding the final spot. Ms Hanson relaunched Pauline Hanson's One Nation and took over the leadership in 2014. The One Nation website lists lists 18 candidates running for the Senate and House of Representatives, mostly in Queensland but also in South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia and Tasmania. The party's leader said voters were "fed up" with the major political parties, many were disappointed in Malcolm Turnbull and didn't see Bill Shorten as an alternative. "I'm saying that in every state that I'm standing Senate candidates, we have a great opportunity to win a seat in every state," she said on Tuesday.
