By Rachel Woodlock, published 17/2/2010

While young Muslim Australians can positively appreciate Australia as a land of opportunity, Ms Pauline Hanson cannot.

The original article doesn't mention Sharia law at all. It doesn't say anything about Muslims wanting Australia to become a Muslim nation. So thats a bit of a stretch.

Ozzie you still haven't told me about your high-flying job??

"Original article; Pauline Hanson, the former One Nation leader who polarised Australians with her strident anti-immigration views.
A blatent assumption. She was not against immigration. See her policies, not her maiden speech. She was against illegal immigration. There is a difference, which seems to get purposly ignored."
Jayb Ms Hanson had plenty of proposals but she was never likely to be in a position to implement any of them. She had views on a wide range of subjects, including Asian immigration. For some reason you don't consider her maiden speech as representing her views. Perhaps this might change your mind.
"A new book by a former advisor to Pauline Hanson, "The Pauline Hanson Story: By The Man Who Knows," by John Pasquarelli, says that Hanson's 1996 speech opposing increased Asian immigration, which briefly made her second only to the prime minister in citations in the media, was a product of chance. However, once Hanson realized that the public favored less Asian immigration, she made it the centerpiece of her proposals." Migration News March 1998 Volume 5 Number 4

I'm almost disappointed that post from you Ozzie was lacking the full intensity of your usual impotent rage. It came up short so to speak.

If you actually read my posts on OLO I've never actually called anybody a racist. I might have said that a posting was racist or that a viewpoint was offensive but I have never directly called somebody a racist. Though, I'm pretty sure I've referred to you in unflattering terms. Even then I don't resort to vulgar abuse.

Let's take a quick look at your last offering. You said:

"I argue with you because you are a low life scum uneducated bogan who seems to enjoy critizing others and labelling them without any proof."

Well uneducated is a tad harsh. I don't agree with the last part either your posts usually provide ample proof. So that was a bit premature.

I'm going to take a wild guess here, but when you say that you are a "medical practitioner", and lets just imagine that I believe you, is that just a fancy way of saying "male nurse"? Does that explain the issues that you seem to have with me? Given that this is the third or so thread where you've gone after me? Gosh, what would happen if my username was "Mother"?

My profession is management. I am accredited to an advanced level from a prestigious and leading Australian tertiary institution in this field.

The posts on this article, as its author accurately indicates, is demonstrative of a toxic and insidious racist culture permeating this country, that leads increasing international perception, of Australia as a racist pariah state.

I may not be considered demographically isolated to the Latte set, my parentage of Maori and Scottish background. Of my Maori heritage, the indigenous culture of NZ, a country which has achieved a recognised treaty with its indigenous people, indicates those achieved principles obvious as leaving the posts on this article, in the dark ages.

I doubt those responsible for these posts, if they were to visit, would stay long in NZ, that its indigenous people may perceive them as a source of food at the lower end of the food chain. For I further doubt any of those responsible for these posts, capable of comprehending the concept of doctoral research, that such rigour requires the capacity for original thought.

It is further obvious, the siege mentalities demonstrated in these posts, reveal the fear inherent of racism.

Hanson was jailed in Qld for rorting the electoral funding process, that may be observed consistent with the opportunist, self indulgent and gratuitous, 'carpetbagging' profile of racists.

At an official citizenship conference last year, before the citizenship test was reformed, I queried the Australian Citizenship representatives that; I have asked some 20 Australian anglo/caucasians the name of the first Australian Prime Minister, as questioned within the citizenship test, and none could respond with the correct answer. Did that mean I was hanging out with the wrong crowd?

From a management perspective it appears the same posters attempt to flog their irrational, myopic, moronic, and profane bigotry, constantly on this site as pseudo intellectual comment. That articles on race issues are observed to draw them like flies, realises you fool noone. The most appropriate and constructive comment I may offer in response therefore, is simply, 'get a life.'

Agree with much of that. I think that the racists have more time on their hands and have a zealot like conviction that their view and only theirs ois correct. Anybody who trie to engage with that will have a meltdown lije Luci's last post. Cheer up

Where have you all been, especially Rachell ?
Pauline Hanson said publically that she was not leaving Australia.
She was going to New Zealand first and then to the UK for a holiday.
She also said that when she returns that she will probably move down south somewhere.
She said she had no interest in living anywhere else.

You like many others have been the victims of media manipulation.
Even the BBC has an item a few days ago that Pauline Hanson was moving
to the UK.

It is a very serious problem that the media can make up a story and
then pass it off all round the world.
What interests me is with how many other stories are we misled ?
