Australia's aviation-safety authority says it is reviewing Senator Pauline Hanson's use of a drone in a built-up suburban area of Townsville after reports she may have breached safety rules.

The Queensland senator posted a video to social media of herself operating the drone from the balcony of a hotel on Wednesday.

The footage shows Ms Hanson laughing while flying the drone up and down between high-rise buildings.

"I'm flying the drone here, first time ever, and ... up and down ... here we go ... now we're going to go (laughs) ... as long as I keep it under 400 feet, I'm (al)right!" she said in the video.

But Senator Hanson's use of the drone has prompted a number of complaints to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, and it is now reviewing the flight.
