ECHUCA Racing Club set the bar to a new height last year inviting the eyecatching social butterfly Brynne Edelsten to the Echuca Cup.

This year, it's the turn of none other than celebrity politician Pauline Hanson (right).

Pauline, who has been in the limelight recently for her role in Celebrity Apprentice, will help judge the fashions on the field and be a guest at the president's lunch.

No doubt the organisers will be hoping Pauline's frock sense will be at least as good as Brynne's.

They probably hope, though, she won't be stripping down to her undies as she did for the car-wash episode of Celebrity Apprentice.
