WA One Nation senator clinches ticket spot

One Nation senator Peter Georgiou has been endorsed as the party's lead Senate candidate for Western Australia at the next election.

Pauline Hanson's last remaining parliamentary colleague has been given the green light to lead One Nation's Senate ticket in Western Australia.

WA senator Peter Georgiou has been endorsed as the lead candidate for the party, which now has two members in federal parliament following the defection of Brian Burston.

"I'd like to thank Pauline and the team for their faith and trust in me, it really means a lot," the former electrician said in a statement.
