Pauline Hanson once asked the most pertinent question that had been begging to be asked for decades. She asked, "Why is Australia giving billions in aid to Indonesia when their own politicians are ripping them off?"

Their was stunned silence in the house after that. Nobody knew the answer.

That's why us "deplorable" "Bogans" vote for Pauline.

Two things. There needs to be an incorruptible ICAC with really big teeth! And really hard jail time for those privileged, [Mr big] white-collar criminals doing the crime! Without the above, this violation of trust and ignorance will become just the tip of an ever-growing iceberg!

Lego. Please explane? Mz Hansan is hardly a Lilly-white honesty personified hero? Yet has a rusted-on following who treat her every sentence as coming from the mount?

I argue that all pollies ought to be strapped to a lie detector as they roll out their election, fully funded, promises! And have those results double check by unbeatable, covertly deployed, new age, lie detection equipment!

And I'd all but bet my house that none would pass that test?

Any that could, would likely get my vote!

She isn't, Alan B? One of my mates was crossing to Frazer Island on the ferry when somebody said that Pauline Hanson was on board. Everybody on the frry rushed to surround her and the ferry nearly capsized.

You seem to be missing the point. Pauline Hanson is now the Labor Party and she represents white, working class Australians who were abandoned by Labor. As "Nugget" Coombes so perceptively opined, "The Labor Party used to be composed of the cream of the working class, now it is composed of the dregs of the middle class."

She fights for people like me, and you. Why you don't like her you could please explain? That is of course, if you know yourself? I presume that you are another one more enamoured of following fashionable views rather than thinking for yourself? If you lived in the USA, you would have voted for Biden with his Alzheimer's disease, because that is what the "smart" people were supposed do.
Now the yanks have a certifiable idiot as a President. I'll bet you didn't like Trump either?

Pauline Hanson said quite bluntly that Australia was giving billions of dollars of our money to Indonesia and for what? So they can send more "refugee" boats to Australia and make us Muslim? To line the pockets of their corrupt politicians? THAT is the sort of question that the Lib/Lab Tweedledee/tweedledum politicians have studiously avoided asking for years.

Because of my childhood I learned one lesson I never forgot. Australian politicians think more about foreigners than they do their own people. I will vote for any politician who puts Australians first. Trump said the same thing about Americans. That is why the "deplorables" loved him. The Left could only beat him by rigging the election. Something they are trying to make a permanent feature of US politics.
