Hanson hits back amid One Nation meltdown as insiders blow lid
from the above article:
In an interview with news.com.au, former One Nation candidate Ray Gould says he pulled out of the election race in WA at the last minute because of his feelings about party leader Hanson.
The 70-year-old bricklayer, who has now returned to his Labor roots, says he was drawn to the party because he believed it could make a difference in reducing the state’s $40 billion debt, the highest nationwide.
Now the former candidate for Liberal-held Kalamunda says he believes Ms Hanson is only after one thing: publicity. “It’s just power and money,” he said.
Mr Gould told news.com.au he had thought Ms Hanson’s language was “a bit rough, but she seemed pretty straight” but after One Nation’s preferencing deal with the Liberals, he was appalled.
“She wants to be the watchdog of Australia politics, but it’s all for money, no consideration for people. She threw us away like a dirty rag.
“It’s a scam. The public are getting smashed.
“She’ll say anything to get power. I know she had a tough time, but that’s not the public’s fault.
“You don’t want her as a watchdog in politics, that’s for sure.”
