Hanson formed the party in order to ensure that her name appeared above the line (as per the voting method in Australian federal elections) rather than simply below the line amongst a list of independent candidates.
Hanson stood for theAustralian Senatein the state ofQueenslandduring the2007 federal election, in which she received 101,461 first preference votes, representing 4.2% of the statewide vote.[2]
Brian Burston, Hanson's former One Nation adviser and future Senator, also stood for the Senate in the state ofNew South Walesand received 39,807 votes, which was nearly 1% of the total votes.[3]
Hanson voluntarily de-registered the party in March 2010 after announcing her intention to relocate to theUnited Kingdom.[4]Her planned emigration did not occur, but the party remained de-registered.
