Ms Hanson attacked Mr Shorten’s private school education’ and accused him of having no connection with grassroots Australians, according to the publication.
‘I don’t trust him,’ she said.
‘It’s women’s intuition. I don’t feel warm to him. I don’t feel like I connect with him.’
‘He’s the one with the silver spoon in his mouth. Everything he calls Malcolm Turnbull, he needs to look at himself in the mirror.’
Mr Shorten attended the prestigious Xavier College in Melbourne and St Mary’s Catholic Primary School in Melbourne.

Mr Albanese set out his agenda for the Labor Party in his Whitlam Oration speech at Shellharbour, on the New South Wales Coast, on Friday night.
But Labor denied any rift between the pair.
Ms Hanson told 2SM Mr Albanese would make a better Opposition leader, describing him as a ‘lovely guy’.
‘I think he would be better leader than what Bill Shorten is,’ she told the radio network on Tuesday.
