Pauline Turns Down Trump

[icyfroth]

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has tickets to Donald Trump's presidential inauguration ceremony but won't be making the trip to Washington.

The Queensland senator says her duties to her state - which she's been touring to announce candidates for the coming election - come first.

Senator Hanson announced on Twitter this morning she had been gifted tickets to the January 20 ceremony.

"Would you believe it? ... what an honour!" she tweeted.

But she later said she wouldn't be attending because of work commitments.

"My duties to the people of Queensland & Australia come first."

Interesting that Turnbull wasnt on the invitation list

Heads of State of foreign countries are not invited to USA presidential inauguration..not Prime Ministers, Presidents or Monarchs.

The Ambassadors {or their representative} to he USA only are invited.

I was at the DC Embassy for a few inuurations in my past life.

Incidentally, I was in NYC  a week before the election......it was interesting.
