Pauline Hanson has predicted Anthony Albanese will call an election at the end of next year to create a 'big problem' for any future right-wing government - Labor and the Greens are almost certain to maintain control the Senate for months afterwards. 

During an exclusive YouTube interview with Daily Mail's Politics and Economics Editor Peter van Onselen in Wagga Wagga last week, the One Nation leader revealed that she believed the Prime Minister was planning a political ambush against her.

Hanson said she expects Albanese will call an early election in late 2027 - a move that would mean that Labor and the Greens would maintain effective control of the Senate until July 2028, no matter what happens, because senators' terms do not begin immediately after an election.

Newly elected senators take their seats on July 1 following a half-Senate poll.

'If he has an election at the end of next year, Labor will still control the Senate till July 2028,' Hanson said.

'That could be a big problem for whoever is (in) government.'

Such an arrangement could frustrate a non-Labor led government or a One Nation balance of power - even if voters cast the ALP aside in a landslide.

'We have to work together to get rid of the toxic Labor-Greens government,' she said.

'It's very important that we do that, and I'm not going to be half-hearted about this.'

Asked why One Nation's support had surged over the past two years, Hanson said voters were increasingly revisiting warnings she had made over decades on immigration, social cohesion and government policy.

'People are going back looking at my speeches, what I've said,' she said.

'People are always saying, "She's been warning us about this for so long". Now they're finally, the light switch is going on.'

Recently, Hanson has argued that a range of cultural and security concerns were driving voters towards One Nation.

However, in one of her clearest acknowledgements yet, she identified two specific events that she believed accelerated the shift.

'The big turning point was also the Charlie Kirk assassination and also the other one was the Bondi massacre,' Hanson said.

Hanson said the December 14 terror attack on Bondi Beach, which left 15 people dead, reinforced concerns she had been raising for years.

'These are things that I've spoken about,' she said.

'I was ridiculed for it, speaking about radical Islam, and I've been warning people out there about it.'

'People are now seeing what's happening in other countries around the world, they see it happening in Australia and they know that I'm the only one who's prepared to call it out.'

Hanson also pointed to a growing distrust of mainstream politicians as a major factor behind One Nation's rise.

'People don't trust politicians, but people know that I'm so patriotic to this country that I say what I mean, I mean what I say, and I'm not two-faced,' she said.

'A lot of politicians are.'

Hanson said she believed that One Nation could win the next election. 

'We are in the mix with this and it's where we're getting the support from the Australian people,' she said.

'I expect to be treated with a little bit more respect and taken seriously.'

Joyce, who has become one of One Nation's most valuable assets, said voters were increasingly drawn to Hanson because they viewed her as authentic. 

'At the start people thought Pauline was abrupt,' Joyce said.

'Then there was more of what I call the "Aunty Pauline effect", where people say she's straight down the barrel, no doubt about that, but it comes from a good place.'

'People might not agree with everything she says, but they know exactly where she stands.' 

The former deputy prime minister said Australians were looking for alternatives as cost-of-living pressures mounted and confidence in traditional parties deteriorated.

'The Australian people are looking for a dynamism, they're worried,' Joyce said.

'They're dealing with the cost-of-living crisis, but it's not just that, it's what's caused it. Bad policy.'

Despite questions about whether One Nation has the organisational depth to convert its strong polling into parliamentary seats, Hanson said the party was actively recruiting professional candidates and advisers.

'Don't underestimate One Nation because now we've got a lot of people from different backgrounds who are jumping on board with us, who want to actually see us succeed and are part of this journey with us,' she said.

'We're building that strong team around us.'

'Why we're here is because we want to implement change for this country.'

The latest Newspoll released last Sunday showed One Nation leading on 30 per cent, while Labor slipped two points to 27 per cent. 

The Coalition was on 19 per cent and the Greens recorded 13 per cent.
