Pauline Hanson has broken her silence on her ‘secret’ 12-year relationship with property developer Tony Nyquist. The polarising One Nation Leader, 70, who first entered politics as a member of the Ipswich City Council in 1994, has revealed she is dating Nyquist, a former property developer and real estate agent from NSW.
Hanson, who has been married twice and has four children, simply stated she ‘knows how to keep them’ and that she has ‘kept him (Nyquist) a secret.’
In a wide-ranging interview with the Courier Mail, Hanson nominated Defence Minister Peter Dutton as her choice for the best person to next lead Australia, before labelling current PM Scott Morrison ‘arrogant’ and a ‘bully.’ She went on to state that while she is a fan of Labor leader Anthony Albanese, he ‘isn’t PM material.’
The Relationship with Tony Nyquist
Pauline Hanson and Tony Nyquist have managed to keep their relationship out of the public eye for over a decade. This secrecy is quite impressive given Hanson’s high profile in Australian politics. Hanson and Nyquist’s relationship began around 2011, and despite the occasional rumor, they have maintained a low profile.
