The woman who launched a political career on an anti-immigration platform is set to become an immigrant herself. Only days after declaring she was finished with politics, the former One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has revealed plans to sell her Queensland property and resettle in Britain, potentially for good.

''I'm going to be away indefinitely. It's pretty much goodbye forever,'' she told Woman's Day magazine in an interview, published today.

''I've really had enough. I want peace in my life. I want contentment, and that's what I'm aiming for."

The former federal MP's hard-line views on race sparked a national debate over immigration policy and Aboriginal disadvantage from the time she entered Parliament in 1996 at the same election which made John Howard prime minister. In a 1200-word interview, parts of which have been released to the Herald, Ms Hanson told the magazine she was disappointed by the way Australia has changed. ''Sadly, the land of opportunity is no more applicable," she said.
