Raunchy photos threaten Australian politician’s vote bid
MELBOURNE - Far-right Australian politician Pauline Hanson’s bid for a state parliament seat was thrown into disarray Sunday when newspapers published raunchy photos of the politician sold by an ex-boyfriend.

Hanson, who sparked international outrage with a campaign against Asian immigration in the 1990s, was about 19 when the pictures were taken by former army commando Jack Johnson, News Limited newspapers reported.
The photographs, taken in the 1970s, show the former member of the federal parliament and leader of the One Nation party partially nude and dressed in lingerie.
Johnson said he was digitising his old photographs when a friend saw the Hanson images and suggested they may be worth money.
“Sorry it’s come to this, sweetheart — that’s the way it is,” Johnson said.
Hanson, who is attempting a political comeback contesting the Gold Coast hinterland seat of Beaudesert in the March 21 Queensland state election, has refused to comment on the photographs.
