Bockstar..28 sept...bloody funny mate)

Bokstar 28th... and proven TOTALLY WRONG... ROTFLMAO.

Ah yes the never let the truth stop a good story brigade. Any time anyone cares to debate a real point feel free.

T800,
Firstly, congrats on an excellant effort in dispelling some of the myths about One Nation policys.

The media gave Pauline and ON a lot of early publicity but soon the wishes of media proprieters came into play. When Murdock told his staff to "kill the cow" nothing further was written about ON unless it was disparaging. Media motive was financial. They get millions of dollars in advertising from Liberal and Labor, state and federal, and the Governments, so why would they not support the views of their best customers.
The journalists acted in a disgraceful manner. What could not be taken out of context or a different spin put on it, was simply made up in many cases. Anyone could get a by-line by writing anything knocking ON.

People like Downer, Abbott and Tim Fischer used parliamentry privilage to make the most outrageous claims about ON. Fischer even claimed that ON had connections to the kkk in the USA.

Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Jim Sooley, spent a week in Sydney doing the rounds of the media, saying the he knew who was behind ON and he was going to expose it all. The media welcomed him with open arms and gave him lots of exposure. Of course nothing came of that as the only people behind ON were ordinary Australians.

I remain convinced that the jailing of Pauline and David Ettridge was political and that Abbott and Co were behind it,in colusion with the Beattie Government. We do not have to look overseas to find corruption and lack of justice.

All the parties colluded to put ON candidates last on their "how to vote" papers at elections.

The biggest issue against ON was the continued call of racist, racist which was difficult to counter at the time, although incorrect. Some may be interested to know that ON had at least two aboriginy canditates and one lebanese candidate.

The demise of ON was Australia's loss

Yes Banjo and thanks... the NSW Branch I was a member of was like the UN... Italians, Dutch, Argentinian, Australian, part Aboriginal, Greek, Filipino, British, German, no one had to try very hard to see that the racist slur was baseless.

I think it's great that no one has been able to successfully refute anything here about one nation. But then many of those still living in denial will do what they've always done... ignore the truth.

Good stuff T800.

The treatment of One Nation by all political opponents, media and a large part of the general populace will go down as a dark event in Australia’s history, in much the same way as we now view the stolen generations saga and similar things.
