Hanson labels WA Labor 'liars, cheats'

Pauline Hanson has hit out at WA Labor, claiming they are running a scare campaign ahead of Saturday's state election.

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has labelled the WA Labor Party liars and cheats over political preferences for Saturday's state election.

Speaking in Mandurah on Monday, Senator Hanson reiterated her party was not in the election to boost Premier Colin Barnett or Opposition Leader Mark McGowan, but said a deal was done with the Liberals to get One Nation seats in the upper house.

"Labor are putting out a scare campaign," she told reporters.

"Labor have put One Nation last on all the how-to-vote cards, so Labor's preferences will flow to the Libs before One Nation.

"They are liars, they are cheats, they are deceitful and they will do anything that they possibly can."

Senator Hanson said voters were fed up with the major parties and were looking for change.

She described her candidates as down to earth, upfront and honest "grassroots Australians" who had had enough.

Senator Hanson also reiterated her party's opposition to asset sales, which the Liberals are planning to help improve the state's finances.

She also said her travel expenses for her visit to WA were paid for by the party.
