Bloody hell, Pauline, will you please give it up, already?!

Far-right former lawmaker Pauline Hanson on Sunday declined to rule out trying again to re-enter politics despite suffering her sixth straight election defeat.
 
Hanson was once one of the best-known Australians overseas after bursting onto the political scene in the 1990s with an anti-immigration, anti-welfare agenda that split her country.
 
But a series of scandals, a jail term for fraud and, most recently, a high-profile row over fake nude photos accompanied an ugly fall from grace.
 
Hanson resoundingly lost her bid to win a seat as an independent in the parliament of her home state of Queensland in elections Saturday. Before the vote, she had vowed to quit politics for good if she lost. On Sunday, she demurred.
