WA Liberal Senator Dean Smith says senator-elect Pauline Hanson should be shown "respect" in the Federal Parliament.
Senator Smith said Ms Hanson's One Nation, as well as other minor parties and independents, were "legitimate parties".
This goes against Malcolm Turnbull's declaration in   May that Ms Hanson "is not a welcome presence in the Australian political scene".Yesterday, it seemed Labor would win four WA Senate spots, the Liberals five, the Greens at least one spot and One Nation could also get one.
