I don't mind admitting I was a member of One Nation before I left the country in 1994. There was no Facebook, no Twitter, and not much of anything else on the net in those days, but I used to follow her exploits on a news blog. She used to turn up at meetings and was greeted by protesters often consisting of thugs who had been bussed in by the unions care of the Labor party. She was then pelted with condoms full of urine and other rubbish etc. None of that was reported in the msm. Always quoted out of context, often sentences were sliced and diced to make up almost anything, her name was always prefixed by some pejorative adjective or phrase, (racist, fish and chip shop owner etc). None of her other policies were mentioned. I'm not sure if she got better treatment later on since I wasn't here.
That's how I first learnt to totally distrust the mainstream media. Not much has changed .
Anyway, Pauline is back and will seek election in Queensland. Good on her. The multiculturalists and certain religious groups will be putting a lot of pressure on the MSM to bash her as usual but maybe her time has come.
Quote:
"She announced her comeback on One Nation's website, saying she would dare to raise issues which were politically incorrect."
"We are witnessing large amounts of our prime farming land and housing sold to foreign ownership," she said."
"The push for multiculturalism is only segregating us as a nation and not uniting us as Australians with the same values, beliefs and laws. Halal is being forced on us by 2 per cent of the population."
"Hanson said there was more hope of success now because people were disillusioned with Campbell Newman and Labor Party and would not necessarily want to vote for Katter and Clive Palmer."
"I thought that Clive Palmer and PUP (Palmer United Party) would be the answer, I don't think he is, I don't think his heart is with Australia," she told the Seven Network."
"I will work with any government as long as it is in the interest of the Australian people."
"My platform onto the political stage was nothing more than daring to raise issues that were politically incorrect and having a common-sense approach rather than an elitist attitude, but most of all honesty."
