Pauline Hanson says she has been given tickets to the US for Donald Trump’s swearing-in as the US president on Friday. But it will fall instead to Brian Burston, the One Nation senator in New South Wales, to fly to Washington for the inauguration. Hanson, who was next in line for the tickets, said she had decided not to go, citing “work commitments”. She earlier expressed her surprise and delight on Twitter at receiving tickets to the inauguration. Pauline Hanson (@PaulineHansonOz) Would you believe it?
