Aussie politician commentates her own bizarre documentary via Facebook Live
It's being called the Pauline Hanson "social media echo chamber" and it's the weirdest thing you'll see on the internet all day.
The right-wing Australian politician was the subject of a less-than-flattering documentary on TV Sunday night, and it was one she decided to commentate via Facebook Live from the comfort of her creepy, dimly-lit living room.
Meta and not unlike Chatroulette (if you happened to be playing an unnerving round with a conservative politician.)

Starring in her own version of Goggle Box, the hard-right senator ended up saying very little during most of the screening of Pauline Hanson: Please Explain. "The elitists, the lefties, the minority groups" are really ruining the country, of course, but there was a lot more.
The documentary didn't hold back from show-reeling Pauline's worst moments. From the cringe-worthy (Dancing With The Stars, anyone?) to the time she made a video addressing the nation, only to be released in the event of her assassination.
And that time she compared herself to Abraham Lincoln.
Naturally, there was plenty of racism talk too. Through it all though, our lady in red stayed mostly motionless and speechless. Although she did laugh during the Dancing With The Stars segment — can you blame her?
Summing up the broadcast, she said "I don't know how I feel about it. I suppose it's up to the people and what they get out of it.
"I haven't changed my views, my opinions about what I foresee for Australia. So, I'm very strong on that," she added. "I'm going to keep doing what I believe in, and if people still want me there, they'll keep voting for me."

Hanson's use of Facebook Live is only a small part of an ongoing campaign by the One Nation senator to cut out the media middle man and connect directly with her supporters.
In a recent Facebook video, Pauline went HAM on the Australian press for making her out to be, you know, very racist, saying "Get your act together. I could be in parliament for up to six years. I wouldn’t mind a working relationship with you.
"But if you're not going to give me a fair go, don't come knocking on my door, cause you ain't going to get an interview out of me." You really need to watch this one to get the full experience.
Naturally, the SBS-made documentary caused armageddon levels of divisiveness among its audiences, with people on both sides of politics bashing the keyboard with a fiery passion that only a Donald Trump-like figure could rouse.
But if there's one thing we can ALL agree on, it's that Pauline Pantsdown is still as funny and relevant a drag parody as ever.
