The name Pauline Hanson tends to send shivvers of dread through any intelligent person living in Australia.
She ran for parliament in Queensland a few weeks back on the back of a 'redneck' policy. She seems to dislike anyone not white. One of her quotes regarding immigrants not of the right background (i.e. 'whites') is "They're not welcome here, they can go back where they came from".
Her political party imploded and she's currently facing fraud charges in Queensland. She was apparently sick of politics and we all breathed a sigh of relief.
Now she's running for the Senate in NSW, not that she has any more clues than she used to have.
John Wong, a NSW politician of asian descent was quoted:
"She's not welcome in New South Wales, she can go back where she came from".
Life is sweet sometimes.
