Jim’s Mowing founder Jim Penman posted on April 28 about politicians mocking Hanson for her Ipswich shop, which she owned from 1987 until entering politics in 1996.
The claim ties into her push against mass immigration, highlighted by her April 26 Canberra rally calling for cuts amid housing shortages and record net migration of 500,000 annually.
Supporters praise her authenticity from real work, while critics say mockery targeted her views, not her background, and note no verified parliamentary record exists.
