There was an opinion article I glanced at which talks about this, Hanson is in touch with some, such as "Men's Rights Activists" (a manosphere phenomenon, not to be confused with gender liberationists who fight for the rights of men)

Pauline Hanson’s domestic violence comments were no stumble

I thought this was a telling comment: “The common wisdom is that as One Nation heads for the mainstream – its founder will need to temper her more extreme ideas to keep her coalition of disengaged and aggrieved voters together.”. How likely is it that Pauline can temper her views and also how likely is it that “conventional wisdom” is wrong? Seems overseas people just don’t care if these right wing populist parties are disjoint and have abhorrent ideas.
