One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has staunchly defended herself and her colleagues over controversial remarks they made in an explosive Al Jazeera documentary.


Pauline Hanson has refused to take responsibility for questioning whether the Port Arthur massacre was a government conspiracy because she made the comments in private.

The One Nation leader said her heart went out to the victims but Al Jazeera was to blame for broadcasting hidden camera footage of her saying there was "a lot of questions" about the 1996 shootings.

"My comments were made at a dinner table, never made publicly. This is not my doing to have exposed this," she told Nine's Today program in an interview broadcast on Friday.
