===Ousted from One Nation, forming a new party=== [[File:Pauline Hanson (438351804) (cropped).jpg|thumb|upright|Hanson in March 2007 at the launch of her autobiography ''Untamed and Unashamed'']] At the [[1999 New South Wales state election|1999 election]], One Nation politician [[David Oldfield (politician)|David Oldfield]] was elected to the [[New South Wales Legislative Council]], the state parliament's upper house. However, in 2000, Oldfield was expelled from One Nation for an alleged verbal dispute with Hanson. Within weeks, Oldfield had established the splinter group, [[One Nation NSW]]. One Nation won three seats in the [[Western Australian Legislative Council]] at the [[2001 Western Australian state election|2001 state election]], but the electoral success of One Nation began to deteriorate after this point because the split-away of One Nation NSW began to spark further lack of party unity, and a series of gaffes by One Nation members and candidates, particularly in Queensland. Hanson resigned from One Nation in January 2002 and John Fischer, the State Leader from [[Western Australia]], was elected the Federal President of One Nation.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article228668204|title=The Passing of Pauline|date=5 February 2002|newspaper=[[Tharunka]]|access-date=7 February 2019|issue=1|location=New South Wales, Australia|volume=48|page=13|via=National Library of Australia|archive-date=21 February 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240221022309/https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/228668204|url-status=live}}</ref> On 24 May 2007, Hanson launched [[Pauline's United Australia Party]].<ref>[http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2007/05/24/1179601573572.html Now Pauline's for a united Australia] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121104070739/http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2007/05/24/1179601573572.html |date=4 November 2012 }}, ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', 24 May 2007.
