One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has failed to declare director roles or shareholdings in three companies, including one tied to her upcoming satirical film, *A Super Progressive Movie*. The companies are run or co-owned by party official Alexander Jones, who pleaded guilty to a $24,000 attempted electoral fraud in 2023. Two involve James Ashby, her chief of staff.
Hanson’s public register of interests shows she holds shares in Webjet, AMP and Bowen Coking Coal. On October 28, she acquired a stake in A Pauline Production Pty Ltd, which owns half the shares in A Super Progressive Movie Pty Ltd.
The [animated film](https://www.onenation.org.au/a-super-progressive-movie-address) of the same name, which is due to premiere on Australia Day, will be available to stream for $12.99. Credited as “A Pauline Production” on the poster, the satire “takes aim at woke politics” and features a cast of left-wing characters who have “taken over” Australia.
Hanson has also not declared her shareholding and her director role in Small Batch Brewing Pty Ltd, which began in March, years after she floated the idea of launching a craft beer to connect with voters. A spokesman for Hanson declined to comment on the nature of the business.

This does not surprise me. Failure to correctly fill out paperwork is basically what got her put in prison in 2003, after all.

I’m shocked!!!!
Unfortunately for Hanson as a “woke”. I thought the trailer was absolutely hilarious. Lot’s of my “woke” friends thought the same. I don’t want it banned or cancelled. But I hope she remembers next time she wants’ something cancelled not to jump to cancel culture. She won’t.

[Senate rules](https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Chamber_documents/Senate_chamber_documents/standingorders/e00/e01) require updates to business interests within 35 days but corporate records show Hanson has not declared one directorship for nearly five years. The omissions are the latest in a series of transparency failures by the Queensland senator, who this month declared her intention to form government.
“I’ve got a hell of a job ahead of me,” she said last week after this masthead’s Resolve Political Monitor [showed a record high One Nation primary vote of 18 per cent](https://www.theage.com.au/politics/federal/support-for-albanese-plummets-after-muddled-response-to-bondi-attack-20260118-p5nuv8.html), and [Newspoll](https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/politics/newspoll-pauline-hansons-one-nation-ahead-of-the-coalition-on-primary-votes-for-the-first-time/news-story/4e41476c9a605ada111c0c1f7064db1d) put support for One Nation higher than the Coalition for the first time in that survey’s history. “We’ve got to maintain that support and confidence from the Australian people that we can hopefully form government.”
