One Nation staffer Richard Henderson has confirmed to Mediaweek he was “reprimanded” by Senator Pauline Hanson after telling a journalist to “shut up” following a press conference in Adelaide.
The exchange, captured on video by both Nine and Seven, involved Guardian Australia senior correspondent Sarah Martin.
The vision of the incident shows Hanson beginning to walk away from the lectern while Martin continues to ask questions.
Henderson can then be heard telling Martin, “We’re done”, before she responds: “Did you just tell me to shut up?”
“Yes, I did tell you to shut up,” Henderson replies.
