Embracing Pauline Hanson : Comments

By Ian Cook, published 26/7/2016

We, people who disagree with her position like me, had the chance to embrace Hanson and the people she represents twenty years ago and we didn't. I'm hoping that we don't miss this opportunity again.

Take away the author's mind-reading, and there's nothing left

Ha this is all very funny, the left side of the house can think what it thinks, in fact most would say the more parties on the right the better.
I think the people most upset by Hanson are those liberals on the right. If I was in charge of the lower house seating I'd put her right along side Abbott and stand back.

Must say for the first time I can remember Cobber I agree with you. She took the conservative liberal voters.

Interactive,

I doubt that the comrades bother to look at the actual policies of One Nation. Snarling the thought-terminating cliche 'racist' is enough for them. They believe that calling people names stops them in their tracks, releasing them (the 'clever' comrades) from the task of using whatever intelligence they might have to come up with proof that PH is racist. Unfortunately, for them, she doesn't seem to have heard the psychologists quacking about people not supposed to be comfortable about being called names (i.e abused) and she has kept on marching to get more votes than the minor left wing cranks.

Ian I find it amazing that anyone can load a piece with so much unconscious arrogance. So much arrogance is dripping from every line that it is surprising someone with your self confessed superior intelligence, & higher education can not see it for themselves.

To help you with your understanding, which does not appear to be your strong point, it is pieces just like this that send people flocking to Pauline.

It is also obvious that you don't understand the disgust that average Australians are developing for academia. If you did understand you would be much more careful when you went to print. You must remember that it is the very people you denigrate from your ivory tower that pay your salary. I suggest a change of attitude by yourself, & your mates, if you wish your privileged position among the elite is to continue.

I don't recall this attitude when I did my B Sc. but that was back in the late 60s, so perhaps the cult of superiority had not yet developed. Of course I may have been too naïve to notice, or perhaps our lecturers were better at concealing their feelings disdain for the great unwashed. Anyway, thanks for showing us that we must give much more support to Pauline, & perhaps even join her party. We had better do something to protect ourselves from the likes of you, who would rather give the fruits of our labour to any blow in, rather than let us enjoy what is justly ours.

ttbn: It's all too easy to promise things you'll never ever be able to deliver, even with the incredible might of a whole four still hypothetical (run the country and all hail the victor) MASSIVE Senate seats!

Labor and liberal only need agree on policy that ONE NATION stands 4square against? And this (please explain) powerhouse of a reborn political party becomes a clueless toothless tiger, albeit, trembling in a terrible temper tantrum, because of non forthcoming public service briefing and how to advice!

Ever seen a toothless pensioner trying to gum a T bone to death? And would likely have more success than a gormless Miz Hanson actually getting old age pensioners another $150.00 a week!? LOL! Hell would freeze over first!
