Pauline Hanson vows to fight on

Pauline Hanson isn't giving up on politics despite another failed election where she missed out on the Queensland state seat of Lockyer.

Watch out for Pauline Hanson and at the next federal election.

The One Nation co-founder has vowed the party will stand candidates at the poll due next year despite missing out on winning any seats in the recent Queensland election.

Ms Hanson lost the race for Lockyer, a semi-rural electorate between Toowoomba and Ipswich, by just 186 votes after preferences to LNP incumbent Ian Rickuss.

"I am not finished yet. One Nation is still there," she told the Seven Network, saying her party was needed to "keep them honest".

"Next federal election, we are going to have candidates."

Ms Hanson, 60, won the federal Queensland seat of Oxley as an independent in 1996 after being disendorsed by the Liberal Party.

She was not re-elected, but has since stood for election in Queensland, NSW and federally.
