The perils of pillorying Pauline : Comments
By John de Meyrick, published 18/7/2016The ABC is already referring to Ms Hanson in its public affairs programs and news podcasts as a 'former fish shop owner' as though it is some kind of disreputable occupation.

Before there are any more snooty remarks against Senator Hanson perhaps you can answer a couple of questions.
Why have politicians allowed massive loans to be taken out to inflate house prices but do nothing constructive. Why have our "betters" happily allowed our country to slide into massive debt? These are rhetorical of course. It suits the political elite, the snobs and the ABC. Now the spoiler appears! I am sure like "Brexit" they will be blamed by the perpetrators for the results of their own misguided policies. Posted by JBowyer, Tuesday, 19 July 2016 9:43:19 AM

Looks like Hanson has a close political ally in Senator Jacqui Lambie on Muslims. See ABC online July 19, 2016 article http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-19/jacqui-lambie-wants-inquiry-into-radicalisation-of-muslims/7640960
Hanson wants her Royal Commission into Muslims and Lambie is now advocating "a Senate inquiry into the radicalisation of Muslims in Australia." "Senator Lambie told 936 ABC Hobart she supported some of Ms Hanson's views and suggested an inquiry. "I think a lot of the Muslim community would support an investigation, whether it be a Senate inquiry, into exactly what is going on in radicalisation in this country," she said. "That's what needs to be opened up. We need to get in, we need to find out whether it's coming from the mosques, we need to be honest and open about what is going on. "We have a problem with sharia law in this country, we have a problem with terrorism in this country and we have a problem with Islam in this country."

There is only one thing worse than seeing a person like Hanson as a Senator in our parliament, and that is thinking about both her and Senator Lambie joining together to agree on anything!
There is no way on earth that this Government would consider any expensive, time-wasting 'Royal Commision' into Islam or radicalisation of Muslim youth. The only way people like Lambie and Hanson and their followers would be happy would be to have no Muslims in Australia. However, like many other multicultural countries, we already have Muslim residents and citizens living here. We can't just throw out our own citizens just in case they might become terrorists. That notion is both immoral and extremely stupid. Posted by Suseonline, Wednesday, 20 July 2016 1:07:18 AM

A reasonable person might wonder, why is it that so many young educated women today smoke cigarettes and wear tattoos? Every time I see a young woman with a fag in her mouth, and ink on her arms, it is almost always some tertiary educated, fashion obsessed skeleton sporting the anti authoritarian "bad girl" look.
The reason is, of course, that the media is very good at controlling human behaviour by presenting certain behaviours as fashionable. By fashionable, I mean behaviour pertaining to the young, beautiful, moneyed, and supposedly smart set. You may be young, dumb, ugly, and have no money. But you can still look the part if you wear a Prada blouse, skin tight stone washed jeans with torn knees, an ugly tattoo, and Manano Blahnik shoes. The image is sort of funky prole. And as with clothing apparel, tattoos, and cigarettes, so to with political fashions. The trendy left completely infests the entertainment media, and it is they who set the fashions for the young people to follow. The trendies may have high intelligence when it comes to creativity, but when it comes down to plain common sense, they appear to lack the street level brains of working class and bourgeoisie people. It is no surprise that the Aum cult in Japan specifically targeted university students for their bizarre and murderous "religion." The Aum's leader knew that in many ways, educated elites are completely naïve and prone to believing that anti social behaviour is a fashion accessory. Pauline Hanson wants to stop Muslim immigration. That this is a screamingly sensible proposal is beyond dispute. But unfortunately this does not sit well with socialist social theory, which states that all cultures and races are equal, and therefore national borders should not exist. Unable to effectively defend their bizarre concept in open debate, the Left is very effective in using a different tactic. The trick is to shoot the messenger. Continued.

"Will she once more become a joke figure and the butt of sneering comments and ridicule by hubristic opinion-makers?" Never!
Poor Pauline.
