The Queensland Senator's private members Bill to hold a plebiscite to gauge the public's views on the number of migrants allowed to live and work in Australia was defeated 54-2.
Only Senator Hanson and her One Nation colleague Malcolm Roberts voted in favour of the Bill.
The controversial Queensland senator blamed congestion and wages stagnation on immigration-fuelled population growth, arguing that people battling clogged roads and rising house prices deserved a say on the rate of migration.
"It just makes commonsense to understand that more people means more demand for services. If those services are not established at a pace that keeps up with the growth then lifestyles will go backwards."
One Nation Senator Pauline Hanson says Australians should get a say on the number of migrants coming to the country.
