Lee Hanson, daughter of Pauline Hanson, has been appointed as a senior adviser to One Nation Senator Sean Bell, a taxpayer-funded position with an annual salary ranging from $151,000 to $183,000. Based near Hobart, Tasmania, Lee Hanson began this role in October last year, concurrently serving as the party's national executive manager. Senator Bell, who was a Queensland resident and staffer for Pauline Hanson before his appointment to the NSW Senate seat vacated by Warwick Stacey, has also faced scrutiny regarding his residency. This employment arrangement is permissible under parliamentary staff regulations, which allow for the hiring of family members of other MPs, though not immediate family of the parliamentarian themselves. The party has not clarified who directly employs Lee Hanson or how her Tasmanian base aligns with her advisory role for a NSW senator, stating only that employment decisions are merit-based.
