Billionaire Gina Rinehart paid for Pauline Hanson\u2019s European flights and a fashion show, the One Nation leader has confirmed in a parliamentary gift registry update.<\/p>\n
Senator Hanson updated her parliamentary register of interests on Tuesday, revealing the mining magnate paid for her flights from London to Sicily, via Rome.<\/p>\n
But she confirmed she paid for her own accommodation, meals and other daily expenses during the trip from July 11 to 16.<\/p>\n
It came after photographs emerged of her holidaying with Ms Rinehart at the five-star Grand Hotel San Pietro, where they were spotted by the pool.<\/p>\n
But Senator Hanson did not reveal details about the costs until now.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a Seven West Media event in Perth last week, Senator Hanson rejected suggestions that taxpayers had funded the trip.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt didn\u2019t cost the taxpayer one cent for my trip overseas. Not one cent,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Senator Hanson has previously declared gifts from Ms Rinehart and Hancock Prospecting in her register, including other flights, hospitality and a \u201cbloody big orange bulldozer\u201d.<\/p>\n
The updated disclosure does not reveal how her flights from Australia to London were funded, but if she paid for it herself she would not need to declare it.<\/p>\n
Senator Hanson was recently due to meet UK Reform leader Nigel Farage but he resigned from parliament before it could happen.<\/p>\n
Instead, she was interviewed for a podcast hosted by UK far-right activist Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen-Yaxley Lennon.<\/p>\n
He has served prison time for offences including assault, fraud and contempt of court.<\/p>\n
Senator Hanson and Ms Rinehart have appeared to become close in recent months.<\/p>\n
In April, Senator Hanson accepted a $1m Cirrus G7 plane from Ms Rinehart, which she described as \u201csexy\u201d.<\/p>\n
