Pauline Hanson winning an upper house seat? I'll believe that if and when it happens! Still, I suppose if you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get - selfish, ignorant, members of parliament. We should never under-estimate the power of idiots in large groups - although I would have thought that her ideas no longer resonated with the majority of people. As far as I could tell - all
she's been good for lately is "Woman's Day" fodder.

Thanks SM your view I am lie telling impresses me.
Tell you what folks
Hanson is not going to win that seat.
So storm in a tea cup but put me on record she is not going to be there.
Now here is your chance to prove me wrong SM, care to bet?

Oh dear Belly, does that mean we still have to offer her home and hearth back here in Qld?

Perhaps she can blow sparks into a love-affair with D. Oldfella, the shock-jock you all like so much in NSW, the chap that Tony Abbott gave a start to in politics?

Oh yes SM, remember who gave all this such a good boost along?

Not only did the Liberals create Pauline in a general sense, some of us can recall the 'good work' Tony Abbott did in encouraging Oldfella in the world of politics.

Of course, later, as the cock crowed three times, Abbott would turn his back on his chum Oldfella and try to do him down.

Politics! It's such FUN.

Blue cross............why more people don't listen to you is beyond me:)

Its like serial dictators.....none of them make any sence. If this PH has the stuff, or maybe more Hollywood than any-thing else........perhaps the silents of the lambs, and the big multiculturalism spell, may have worked better than we could of anticipated. Just one more thought..........how and who gets the chunkiest parts, of the tax-payers money? ( Iam just laughing at belliess..attacks on the poor....and what poor from, may I just add.:)

Does "Polly"tics WANT A CRACKER.

Wasn't the people that are the running's?, aren't they the biggest ones?:)

My mother/father always told me... with what ever I do....be true to your self, and to all others.

It still give me the greater sence of direction.

LEAP

So I guess that makes it one win followed by seven straight losses in a row.

She's not coming to save us from ourselves after all.

She's not the Messiah, she's just a very naughty person.

Belly, Pelican, et al,

To clarify some misconceptions deliberate or otherwise, PH is no friend of the liberals, neither does she advise them, nor does she share the same values. As a liberal supporter I get no satisfaction from her possible success.

The fringe parties such as the greens and PH do well on the protest vote, not because most people share their values, but because people want to send a message that a particular issue can't be ignored (shooters and fishers party etc)

The message is clear that the immigration debacle is not acceptable, and PH is the megaphone.

Belly, as for that bet, I did say that it was looking like PH would win the seat, but as the preference votes are a wild card, the greens will get Labor preferences, but PH is renowned for picking up preferences. I would say she has about a 60% chance. Good, but not good enough to put my reputation on the line.
