Pauline Hanson: Her Resurrection

Jump to new
I would imagine she will win a lot of votes with new policies to reduce costs!

1. All MP's air travel is economy; no doubt travelling for "work" at weekends will drop off.

2. Retired MP pensions on hold when working full time jobs (eg Joe Hockey and the prior trade minister. They all seem to work second jobs and on the full pension!
 

Yes bigdog, I totally agree with you......The problem is how can it be curtailed?

By voting in Pauline that's how.

That would be fine if she could take control of the Federal Government but at this stage I don't it would be possible although the way she is going in Queensland that may well happen in that state.
 
They already have considerable power in QLD. When they poached Steve Dickson they effectively blocked the LNP from ever being able to form Govt in this term. So if Katter and Wellington ever voted against a Govt bill the balance of power would go to One Nation.
 

Actually, I think you will find 4 have defected from the Liberal Party to One Nation.

But only one of them is a sitting member... and that's the event that's changed the layout of the QLD parliament by reducing the LNP to 41 seats. The others are ex Newman Govt MPs but they aren't in parliament.... yet

I voted Pauline in the Fed election, along with many of my welded on Liberal friends who managed to break away from their parental shackles.

It feels so good not having to listen to muppets at parties talking up useless tit prime ministers and hachneyed political parties. Instead we talk about taboos, knowing one day we shall be free of the autocratic nanny state, both/all majors aspire to.

Yes you are correct.
 
Less than 600 thousand people voted for Pauline Hanson's style One Nation. That would be the fringe dwelling semi-sane types voting against multiculturalism. Certainly not for the foot-in-mouth supremacist.
 
Pauline Hanson is now polling ahead of the Greens who are in decline.

Dunno noco, I'm one of those who believe that in a democracy (because we have the choice), the People ought to rely on themselves for good government, not on some wise prince(ss) or fearless leader of the people.

I find it hard to believe that a bunch of strangers from (often) privileged background and highly paid lawyering... people who wouldn't give me or you or any other battlers a second thought. How the heck does that kind of people somehow miraculously start caring and working for yours and mine interests once they get into power.

Maybe there are some wise and noble soul (such as myself, of course) who would forgive their own self interest and fight for the common cause against tyranny and corruption. Those kind of people tend not to be racist idiot or politicians. And if they were somewhat racist and ingorant, once power was entrusted to them, they tend to quickly learn and not remain stupid for long.

Sorry to say but Pauline don't fit that mould of a noble warrior princess.

Well, her popularity is increasing so I guess there are many who would disagree with you.

The forth coming Western Australian and Queensland election will be very interesting.

It is now evident, the political revolution has begun as many are disgruntled with the two major parties and the Greens.

That's the kind of person I am looking for, when will you stand? You got my vote for sure.
 

Smoking was also popular, once.

People who voted for Hanson, Trump and other right winger, for the most part I don't think they do it out of racism or some sort of white supremacist attitude like we're told, or like those politicians might actually believe.

Anyway, voters are being played and, for the moment, Muslims and minorities are paying the price. Stopping refugees, banning Muslims, wrapping ourselves in the flag, claiming God ordain us... it could keep voters sidetracked for a while before they realise that crap, maybe the $100B a year just to maintain military bases, the trillions to fight wars.. .maybe these expenses are why my family can't have clean drinking water, why my kids can't get training or a decent job to start.

Then what? pick a new group of minorities? Asians, Chinese, now the Arabs... maybe back to the Chinese again?

Politics will chew and spit me out in a second.

I got a taste of it at a uni student society where I was advised by a good friend that sometime you just have to pick your battle and let "corruption" go. Go along to get along.

A shame because I could've gone to Paris way back then, on other people's dime too.

So my grand plan is to make lotsa money, buy politicians and promise to only order them to do what is good for the people. Starting by making my businesses a lot richer so that I could trickle it down Don't know why people like Murdoch and Packer don't try that.
 

If you do decide to join a party I recommend the LNP. It's really easy to get on the ticket, unlike the Labor Party where you have to grow through the various levels of compromise and aggression.
