Dec 07, 2006 (The Sydney Morning Herald - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Pauline Hanson stands to gain a financial windfall even if her comeback to federal politics fails. The controversial founder of One Nation will receive campaign expenses totalling $A2.05 per vote if she gains just four per cent of the primary vote. She was paid $A190,000 in campaign expenses after her unsuccessful bid for a Senate seat in 2004. Hanson has already hit the headlines with comments about Muslims and the health status of South African immigrants. Bob Brown, the leader of the Australian Greens, has described Hanson as a "political bloodsucker".
