SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and maverick nationalist politician Pauline Hanson faced questions about their leadership on Monday after their parties suffered a resounding defeat in a state election at the weekend.

Turnbull had already been trying to fight back against plummeting opinion poll numbers and leadership dissent within his centre-right Liberals, the senior party in the ruling Liberal-National coalition, before the opposition Labor party scored a landslide win in the Western Australia state election.
