Pauline Hanson's One Nation party has scored more than 600,000 votes in the 2025 federal election as it hopes to increase its Senate representation.

With more than 50 per cent of votes counted, the party appears to have a positive 1.25 per cent swing.

Hanson has yet to comment on One Nation's results and the biggest question – how her daughter will fare in the election – won't be answered tonight.

Hanson's daughter announced in early April that she would run for the Senate in Tasmania under her mother's party.

Votes for the Senate are counted across the whole state, then roughly divided up by the population of the state to give "quotas" that determine which parties get Senators.

This is a slow process and it could be weeks before Lee Hanson learns the result of her senate bid.

Lee Hanson, who has lived in Tasmania for 13 years, said being raised by her firebrand politician mother helped shape her decision to enter politics.

But she also said that she planned to carve her own path.

"I have the privilege of my mother being one of the most tenacious, resilient and strongest women in Australia; Pauline Hanson," she said.

"Those values have carried through to me, she's always been my role model.

"But I am my own woman. I bring my own strength and convictions. I'm part of a younger generation with a new lens and different life experiences."

Calling herself "fresh blood", Lee Hanson said her campaign would be focused on education, healthcare and cost-of-living pressures facing Tasmanians.
