Qld; Hanson sticks to south east Qld

One Nation leader PAULINE HANSON will stick to south-east Queensland when she makes
her first serious assault on the state election campaign next week.

Ms HANSON has released her itinerary for the campaign's final week, which includes
a major policy launch at Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast on Wednesday.

She'll begin campaigning on Monday night on Brisbane's southern outskirts in the safe
Labor seat of Woodridge.

Woodridge was recently vacated by MIKE KAISER -- one of three Labor MPs who quit parliament
and their party after admitting to electoral rorting.

Ms HANSON will also spend next week campaigning on the Sunshine and Gold Coasts, her
home city of Ipswich and in other seats on the outskirts of Brisbane.

A One Nation spokeswoman says time constraints mean Ms HANSON is unlikely to campaign
elsewhere in the state.

The party won 11 seats at the last Queensland election, but the party had no MPs left
as members by the time the current election was called.

One Nation, which was re-registered in Queensland on the day the February 17 election
was called, is fielding 39 candidates in the poll and its preferences could be crucial
to the outcome.
