pauline hanson jailed , page-57

re: hanson was guilty end of story There's no question that Beattie was dismayed at the verdict. He realises that Pauline has been made a martyr. While few who know my opinions expressed on this forum, would doubt that I abhor Hansen's politics, it seems to me that she has been shafted royally. While our judicial systems are quasi independent those who have had the temerity to challenge the accepted structures have been harshly dealt with by the law. Hansen in her present condition is powerless and without influential friends. She has chosen to associate with a bunch of vile carpetbaggers and must accept the consequences for her actions. However, she has paid back the 500k which surely should mitigate the sentence.

When I look at how honest Johnny smiles at his boy Wilson Tuckey, a man who has abused his position of power, and pats him on the head and says "there, there, don't do that again", and then look at the way Hansen has been treated, I'm disgusted.
