Did you hear the one about Pauline Hanson becoming Australia's prime minister?
It certainly made government frontbencher Christopher Pyne laugh.
The One Nation leader has outlined her blueprint for Australia, including a flat two per cent tax rate for everyone - even welfare recipients - if she ran the country.
Mr Pyne burst into laughter when asked during a media conference in Adelaide what he thought about Senator Hanson's outline for the country if she were to be the country's leader.
"Leader of what?" Mr Pyne grinned.
"I think it is unlikely that One Nation's going to form a government in Australia."
Senator Hanson's plans include forcing newlyweds to have pre-nuptial agreements and changes to the tax system.
"Family law is high on my agenda. It needs court-approved premarital agreements on finance and parental issues," she told News Corp Australia.
She'd also cut the number of politicians, limit migration, introduce an Australian identity card, and axe the GST.
Arriving in Canberra on Sunday, the Queenslander insisted her party could form government one day.
"I haven't started a political party to sit on the backbenches for ever and a day," Senator Hanson told the Seven Netwok.
"I think there is a place, in the future, for One Nation on government benches."
Asked about government MPs who laughed at that prospects, Senator Hanson replied: "The last laugh will be on them."
