During her first term in political office, Hanson and her younger children were guarded by security for extended amounts of time daily. Hanson was under escort almost completely, and while her younger children were largely kept out of public exposure, they were escorted to and from school and on other activities. The mail received at Hanson's office was moved to another location and checked before it was re-distributed back to the office.{{citation needed|date=November 2017}}

In 2006, Hanson acquired a [[Real estate license|real estate licence]].{{citation needed|date=August 2018}}

===Relationships and children===
In 1971, Hanson (then Pauline Seccombe) married Walter Zagorski, a former [[Sales|field representative]] and mining industry labourer from [[Poland]], who had escaped war-torn Europe with his mother and arrived in Australia as [[refugee]]s. He met Hanson when they both worked for the [[Drug Houses of Australia]] subsidiary Taylors Elliots Ltd. They had two children. In 1975, Hanson left Zagorski after discovering that he had been involved in several [[affair|extramarital affairs]]. They reconciled briefly in 1977, but divorced later that year when Zagorski left Hanson for another woman.{{citation needed|date=February 2022}}

In 1980, Hanson (then Pauline Zagorski) married Mark Hanson, a divorced [[tradesman]] working on the [[Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]] in [[Queensland]]. They honeymooned in South-East Asia. Mark Hanson had a daughter, Amanda (born 1977), from his previous marriage, and he later had two children with Hanson: Adam (born 1981) and Lee (born 1984). Together they established a [[tradesman|trades]] and construction business, in which Hanson was in charge of the [[office administration|administrative]] and [[bookkeeping]] work, and would on occasions assist her husband on more practical work.  Hanson has written about her difficult marriage, where alcohol and [[domestic violence]] impacted her family.  They divorced in 1987.<ref name="Bitter">{{cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/good-weekend/gw-classics/pauline-hansons-bitter-harvest-20140828-109dbf.html |title=Pauline Hanson's bitter harvest |first=David |last=Leser |work=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]] |date=17 September 2014 |orig-date=30 November 1996 |access-date=4 July 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160710001038/http://www.smh.com.au/good-weekend/gw-classics/pauline-hansons-bitter-harvest-20140828-109dbf.html |archive-date=10 July 2016}}</ref> Lee is a candidate for One Nation in the [[2025 Australian federal election]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Duggan |first1=Josh |title=Lee Hanson, daughter of Pauline Hanson, hoping for Tasmanian senate spot for One Nation |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-25/lee-hanson-pauline-hanson-daughter-one-nation-candidate/105197404 |url-status=live |archive-date=25 April 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250425003715/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-25/lee-hanson-pauline-hanson-daughter-one-nation-candidate/105197404 |access-date=25 April 2025 |work=ABC News |date=25 April 2025 |language=en-AU}}</ref>

In 1988, Hanson began a relationship with Morrie Marsden, a businessman in [[Queensland]]. Together, they established a [[foodservice|catering service]] under the holding company Marsden Hanson Pty Ltd, and operated from their [[fish and chips]] store, Marsden's Seafood, in [[Silkstone, Queensland]]. Marsden worked on Hanson's [[1996 Australian federal election|campaign for political office]] in the [[Division of Oxley|seat of Oxley]] in 1996, and was a member of her staff after her election. When Hanson began to receive national and international media attention for her views, Marsden left the relationship.  Hanson had begun a relationship with Ipswich man Rick Gluyas in 1994. Gluyas encouraged her to run as a candidate in the 1994 Ipswich City Council election, in which he also ran. Both were elected. Hanson and Gluyas ended their relationship some time after this, with Hanson retaining the home and property they had owned jointly at Coleyville, near Ipswich.<ref name="Bitter"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theage.com.au/national/refreshed-and-far-richer-hanson-eyes-a-comeback-20020816-gduhz2.html|title=Refreshed, and far richer, Hanson eyes a comeback|date=16 August 2002|website=The Age|access-date=22 March 2019|archive-date=22 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190322043132/https://www.theage.com.au/national/refreshed-and-far-richer-hanson-eyes-a-comeback-20020816-gduhz2.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2005, Hanson began a relationship with Chris Callaghan, a [[country music]] singer and political activist. He wrote and composed the song "The Australian Way of Life", which was used in Hanson's [[2007 Australian federal election|2007 campaign]] for the [[Australian Senate]], under her new [[Pauline's United Australia Party|United Australia Party]]. In 2007, Hanson revealed that she and Callaghan were engaged. However, in 2008, Hanson broke off the relationship.<ref name="Hurst-2010"/>

In 2011, while [[2011 New South Wales state election|campaigning]] for the [[New South Wales Legislative Council]], Hanson began a relationship with [[Property development|property developer]] and real estate agent Tony Nyquist.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebrity/celeb-news/pauline-hanson-meet-my-new-man-22406|title=Pauline Hanson: Meet my new man!|website=Now To Love|date=20 November 2011 |access-date=22 March 2019|archive-date=22 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190322043132/https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebrity/celeb-news/pauline-hanson-meet-my-new-man-22406|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/meet-brian-burston-one-nations-power-behind-the-throne-20160805-gqm6cx.html|title=Meet Brian Burston: One Nation's power behind the throne|first=Damien|last=Murphy|date=6 August 2016|website=The Sydney Morning Herald|access-date=22 March 2019|archive-date=22 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190322043130/https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/meet-brian-burston-one-nations-power-behind-the-throne-20160805-gqm6cx.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Fraud conviction and reversal===

A 1999 civil suit reached the [[Queensland Court of Appeal]] in 2000 involving disgruntled former One Nation member Terry Sharples and led to a finding of fraud when registering One Nation as a political party,<ref>{{cite AustLII|QCA|23|2000|litigants=Sharples v O'Shea & Hanson |courtname=auto}}.</ref> Hanson faced bankruptcy and made an appeal to supporters for donations.

On 20 August 2003, a jury in the [[District Court of Queensland]] convicted Hanson and [[David Ettridge]] of electoral fraud. Both Hanson and Ettridge were wrongly sentenced to three years imprisonment for falsely claiming that 500 members of the Pauline Hanson Support Movement were members of the political organisation Pauline Hanson's One Nation to register that organisation in Queensland as a political party and apply for electoral funding. Because the registration was found to be unlawful, Hanson's receipt of electoral funding worth $498,637 resulted in two further convictions for dishonestly obtaining property, each with three-year sentences, to run concurrently with the first. The sentence was widely criticised in the media and by some politicians as being too harsh.<ref name="Mackenzie-2004">Mackenzie, Geraldine. "The Hanson trial: please explain?", ''Southern Cross University Law Review, Vol. 8'', 2004, pp. 162–176. {{ISSN|1329-3737}}.</ref>

The prime minister, John Howard, said that it was "a very long, unconditional sentence" and [[Bronwyn Bishop]] said that Hanson was a political prisoner, comparing her conviction with [[Robert Mugabe]]'s treatment of Zimbabwean opponents.<ref name="QCA-2003"/> The sentence was widely criticised in the media as being too harsh.<ref name="Mackenzie-2004"/>

On 6 November 2003, delivering judgment the day after hearing the appeal, the Queensland Court of Appeal quashed all of Hanson and Ettridge's convictions. Hanson, having spent 11 weeks in jail, was immediately released along with Ettridge.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2003/s984941.htm |title=Hanson release causes upheaval in Qld |work=Lateline, ABC Television |publisher=[[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]] |date=7 November 2003 |access-date=9 July 2010 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110511184031/http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2003/s984941.htm |archive-date=11 May 2011}}</ref> The court's unanimous decision was that the evidence did not support a conclusion beyond reasonable doubt that the people on the list were not members of the Pauline Hanson's One Nation party and that Hanson and Ettridge knew this when the application to register the party was submitted. Accordingly, the convictions regarding registration were quashed. The convictions regarding funding, which depended on the same facts, were also quashed.<ref name="QCA-2003">{{cite AustLII|QCA|488|2003|litigants=R v Hanson; R v Ettridge |date=6 November 2003 |courtname=auto}}.</ref> This decision did not specifically follow the Sharples case, where the trial judge's finding of such fraud had not been overturned in the appeal by Hanson and Ettridge. That case was distinguished as a civil suit – in administrative law, as to the validity of the decision by Electoral Commissioner O'Shea to register the party – in which proof had been only on the balance of probabilities. Chief Justice Paul de Jersey, with whom the other two judges agreed overall, suggested that if Hanson, Ettridge and especially the Office of the [[Director of Public Prosecutions]] had used better lawyers from the start, the whole matter might not have taken so long up to the appeal hearing, or might even have been avoided altogether. The Court of Appeal president, Margaret McMurdo, rebuked many politicians, including John Howard and Bronwyn Bishop MHR. Their observations, she said, demonstrated at least "a lack of understanding of the Rule of Law" and "an attempt to influence the judicial appellate process and to interfere with the independence of the judiciary for cynical political motives", although she praised other leading Coalition politicians for accepting the District Court's decision.<ref>The Queensland Court of Appeal was similarly composed in the 2000 and 2003 cases. In order of seniority: (2000) de Jersey CJ, McMurdo P and Helman J; (2003) de Jersey CJ, McMurdo P and Davies JA.</ref>
