The cracks in that policy they call Multiculturalism are widening every day. One Nation opposes it as a divisive social policy. Backwards looking? People at the multicultural coal-face know it’s not.

One Nation called for an end to increases in immigration numbers. Similarly have the Democrats and the Greens. How sustainable is our current population?

Are we providing the services needed and the infrastructure needed to sustain a higher population

Do we have enough WATER to sustain a higher population?

What has been done to lessen the effects of drought?

One Nation has looked forward, NOT backward.

When will any government address our infrastructure problems? Will their lack of vision, their backward thinking, condemn us to a bleak, dry, overpopulated future? Where big Multinationals tell our government what to do? Where world bodies such as the UN or the WTO have usurped our sovereignty?

There is only one alternative.

When all other parties have pandered to the Green vote. One Nation has tried to get common sense into the debate. How many more record bushfire seasons do we have to have before people start to listen?

Why is it that One Nation policies are adopted by the other parties? Why is it always after One Nation? Seems it’s the other parties that are often behind when it
comes to policy.

Seems that in every level of politics that solution is not to fix the problem. Short sightedness limits them to the next election. There is no real infrastructure planning. There is only government for the here and now. Yet they say One Nation is "backward looking". What does that make them then? Blind?

They live in the moment. There is no past and no future. You learn from the past and plan for the future.

Was One Nation...
Backward looking?

Don’t you believe it!

T800,

Glad you got all that off your chest. Good luck getting anyone to read it.

Yes, I suppose on a site like this you are right.
But the truth is there for anyone to read at least.

Unfortunately for One Nation they were unfunded amateurs that came up against too much prejudice and political bias. I've never seen such propaganda and scaremongering about another political party in Australia ever. I have heard though that the DLP suffered a similar fate.

The scaremongering was totally unprecedented in my memory of Australian politics, which I admit is only 20 or so years, however carry on of the media only reflects how powerful the message of One Nation actually was.

While one nation were too politically naive to succeed as a party, as a movement it should be credited as a great success. It really did provide a wake-up call for the major parties.

I take it from your long winded vent you are somehow affiliated with the party. Is that why you are so passionate?

I was a member for a while... I thought I could lend a hand, heaven knows they needed it.

I joined after I checked them out and found they weren't a bunch of redneck racists as the media and other parties wanted you to think.

I just don't like people being vilified and treated the way they were for no good reason.

Well I was never a real supporter, (I suspect I directed my preferences to them) but I was appalled at the way Pauline Hanson was attacked merely for speaking her mind on issues that have been forbidden by the PC media police but which are of great concern to the wider public. Totally undemocratic.

IMO, Pauline's later imprisonment marks the lowest ebb in Australia's political history. Tony Abbott is completely unfit to be involved in our political system for his role in funding the legal action which resulted in her prosecution. I hope some day some government has the guts to compensate her, but I won't hold my breath.

I didn't agree with everything One Nation was about, but I certainly respect the people who brought the whole thing about for their willingness and courage to raise issues and concerns which had long been off limits to the main stream politicians. That's what democracy is about. Don't be disheartened and never give up the fight.
