Pauline Hanson’s health woes have gone from bad to worse, with the One Nation leader undergoing emergency surgery after complaining of “stomach pain”.

Senator Hanson revealed on Wednesday she was recovering in hospital after an emergency operation to remove her appendix.
A picture was shared to her Facebook page of the 64-year-old wearing a white hospital gown, seated on a hospital bed, telling her supporters she had felt “extraordinarily unwell” at the weekend.
“At first, I thought it was a case of food poisoning so I just took it easy. I woke yesterday morning to continued pains in my stomach and decided to see a GP,” the picture caption read.
“I was told I needed further scans and blood tests and was taken immediately to the hospital.
“Surgeons determined I needed an emergency operation to remove my appendix.
“Compared to the pain I was in before the surgery, today’s pain is a lot less and I plan on being back on my feet tomorrow.”
Her social media post has been meet with a groundswell of support from well-wishers hoping to see the senator quickly back on her feet.
“Please rest and get well soon Pauline, the country needs you,” one woman wrote on the Facebook page.
Another added: “Praying for your healing in Jesus name!”
