Pauline Hanson<\/span>\u00a0has put her hand in her pocket and given a tearful woman who claimed to be suffering serious health issues $420 to pay for her X-rays.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The One Nation leader pulled over at a mango farm outside Townsvile, North\u00a0Queensland<\/span>, last week as she campaigned for a by-election in the seat of Hinchinbrook.<\/p>\n

The seat was previously held by Katter Party MP Nick Dametto, who retired to run for Mayor of Townsville.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

At the last\u00a0election<\/span>, the Coalition won the seat, with a massive 17 per cent swing in the two-party-preferred vote.\u00a0One Nation\u2019s primary vote meanwhile increased by almost 9 per cent, while Labor\u2019s crashed to single digits.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u2018I saw this farm and the mangoes were just falling from the trees, and I thought, I\u2019m going to call in there and see if I can get some mangoes.\u2019<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when she met Sue, the owner of the farm, and what started as a quick pit stop turned into an emotional encounter.<\/p>\n

\n

Sue kindly offered the senator mangoes for free, refusing any payment.<\/p>\n

\u2018Take whatever you want,\u2019 she told the politician.\u00a0But as the pair chatted, Hanson learned Sue was struggling with serious, unspecified health issues.<\/p>\n

The regional woman said she needed a mammogram and X-rays, which would cost her $420, and claimed she would otherwise have to wait months to see a public doctor.<\/p>\n

Hanson said in the interaction, which appeared as though it was professionally filmed, that she was shocked by the delay.<\/p>\n

\u2018Your health is everything,\u2019 she told Sue. \u2018It\u2019s disgusting that Australians can\u2019t get decent healthcare.\u2019<\/p>\n

In a moment that stunned Sue, Hanson reached into her pocket and handed her cash, a rare sight in the days of bankcards.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u2018That\u2019s for your x-rays,\u2019 Hanson said firmly, which left Sue visibly emotional.<\/p>\n

\u2018Oh my goodness, I will definitely\u2026 thank you so much,\u2019 Sue said.<\/p>\n

The pair hugged before Hanson handed Sue\u2019s friend some mango biscuits.<\/p>\n

\u2018Charity starts at home. We\u2019ve got to look after our own,\u2019 Hanson said.<\/p>\n

Hanson then characteristically lashed out at the government, accusing it of neglecting Australians while prioritising immigration.<\/p>\n

\u2018They\u2019re proud they\u2019ve brought in a million refugees into our country, and they can\u2019t even look after their own Australian people. It\u2019s disgraceful,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

\u2018Too many Australians are falling through the cracks because of the cost of living driven by this government and the previous one.\u2019<\/p>\n

Many medical providers set their own prices for diagnostic imaging and costs can vary wildly.<\/p>\n

Health authorities advise asking for the cost upfront to avoid surprises. If a clinic opts to\u00a0bulk bill<\/span>, the patient won\u2019t pay anything out of pocket.<\/p>\n

The interaction coincides with One Nation enjoying a resurgence, with voter support at a record high 18 per cent in recent YouGov and Redbridge polls.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re going to keep fighting for this,\u2019 Hanson vowed.<\/p>\n

\u2018Cut mass migration. Ensure our health system works for Australians.\u2019<\/p>\n

Pauline Hanson (pictured) gave a fiery speech against mass migration on Sunday in Melbourne<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hanson also rallied against mass immigration during a protest in Melbourne on Sunday, calling for stronger loyalty requirements for newcomers.<\/p>\n

Hanson told supporters that while she welcomed migrants, they should express an \u2018undivided loyalty\u2019 to Australia.<\/p>\n

\u2018If you can\u2019t do that, I\u2019ll personally escort you to the airport,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

She went on to describe the current immigration system as \u2018a Ponzi scheme,\u2019 accusing the government of using high migration levels to boost tax revenue while ordinary Australians bear the cost.<\/p>\n

Hanson also vowed to run candidates in every seat across Victoria, at the state\u2019s upcoming election in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
