Her appearance follows recent polling that shows a surge in support for One Nation, and a successful crowdfunding campaign targeting Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Today marks Hanson's first address to the press club after entering federal politics in 1996. She is expected to face questions from a crowd of seasoned political journalists. Joyce says he's given Hanson some advice. "Don't entertain gotcha questions," he says. "I'm not naive. I've been around this game for a while. She will be a target for tomahawks."
