Ruby Rose's Cheeky Spray Shines A Harsh Light On Australian Politics

'Maybe Pauline Hanson is Donald Trump In Drag.'
Ruby Rose is brilliant at everything she puts her mind to, even politics.

Ruby Rose is brilliant at everything she puts her mind to, even politics.

Ruby Rose's 'Orange Is The New Black' character made a few prison politics errors but the actor's commentary of the Australian Federal Election is sharp, to say the least.

In a cheeky spray on Twitter, she asks whether Trump is Pauline Hanson in drag and pledges her support for parties that will introduce marriage equality.

She also dredges up the worst of former PM Tony Abbott and shares Australia's collective confusion over senate parties.

When a fan said Hanson was better than Trump, Rose put forward her tongue-in-cheek theory.
