One Nation leader Pauline Hanson fought back tears in a TV interview on Thursday about her deteriorating relationship with colleague Senator Brian Burston.

Senator Hanson told Sky News that Senator Burston had tried to defect to the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party after their disagreement on company tax cuts. 

Senator Hanson claimed Senator Burston had reached out to the rival party but was told by its executives "we don't want you because we don't trust you".
