One Nation leader Pauline Hanson is now only the third most ridiculous person in her party, according to the latest rankings released today. She has fallen one spot since last month.

Former Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce was the big mover, immediately taking over second place upon defecting to the party.

Malcolm Roberts – who believes the Government is trying to control him through the use of grammar – has retained first spot.

Hanson said she was disappointed with the rankings drop but was confident she could come up with something significantly racist or absurd over the coming month to push her back up the charts.

“We are being swamped by Asian Muslim, Chinese-owned brown paper bags,” she said, in an attempt to climb back up the rankings.

Joyce said he would be working hard to take top spot in the near future, although insiders say taking over Roberts, who is part of the Sovereign Citizen movement, will be difficult.

“Malcolm Roberts believes NASA falsifies weather information, he thinks climate change is a conspiracy to enrich Jewish bankers, and he once wrote a letter to Julia Gillard addressing her as “The Woman, Julia-Eileen: Gillard., acting as The Honourable JULIA EILEEN GILLARD”, so he’s definitely tough competition. But I would never underestimate Barnaby’s ability to do something absolutely batshit crazy when we least expect it,” one source said.
