One Nation won't run in New England

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has confirmed her party won't stand a candidate in the New England by-election.

Senator Hanson said she would have loved to run a candidate against Barnaby Joyce in the rural NSW seat but it would distract from the Queensland state election campaign.

"So it looks like Barnaby Joyce has finally had a little bit of luck go his way," she said in a statement on Monday.
