A fine mess you made of this Malcolm.

At least we dont live in a state full of Asians. Wait a minute...

I'm of the opinion that people of Asian descent contribute a shit load more to this country than the simpleton bogans who think the place is being overrun by them.

For those of you that continue to bag Pauline Hanson should take the time to read her maiden speech to the Australian Parliament made back in 1996 and then when you bag her and her views about what is/would be good for all Australians, spell out that it is that you so violently disagree with

mainly the of the torrent of ignorance that flows from her gob:

- "I am fed up to the back teeth with the inequalities that are being promoted by the government and paid for by the taxpayer under the assumption that Aboriginals are the most disadvantaged people in Australia."

http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/[email protected]/Lookup/1301.0Feature+Article9012009%E2%80%9310

- She wanted to abolish the Family Law Act, the main part of which was no-fault divorce.

- " I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians. Between 1984 and 1995, 40 per cent of all migrants coming into this country were of Asian origin."

What's the problem here? We are in the Asia Pacific region after all.

- "Immigration must be halted in the short term so that our dole queues are not added to by, in many cases, unskilled migrants not fluent in the English language."

two friends of mine arrived her as child refugees from the Bosnian war. One is now a lawyer and the other is specialised mechanical engineer. Both far more productive than the fish-flipper from Ipswich.

Bloody right, your ointment stuff you swear by that you kindly sent me doesn't work for me.

From a veritable smorgasbord of cringe worthy prose, self contradiction, factual inaccuracy, brute ignorance and a seemingly non existent sense of irony, I choose this gem.

I am fed up with being told, ‘This is our land.’ Well, where the hell do I go?

Of course, I will be called racist but, if I can invite whom I want into my home, then I should have the right to have a say in who comes into my country.

I dont disagree with that opinion except to say some. There are boganesque components of all races.
I think my sarcasm is broken.

Did he send you the roll on pack? Yeah that sort of spreads it.

Yeah well, the least you could have done was clean the applicator before you sent it back..

[LAGERFRENZY]

The speech was delivered by possibly the most narrowly read and inarticulate politician of all time. It was not of Hanson's own hand but penned entirely by John Pasquerrelli. Hanson had a habit of surrounding herself with shadowy figures such the aforementioned, the two Davids (Oldfield and Etteridge) and right to this day with James Ashby (Slipper's alleged last Squeeze). Beyond that I don't like her.

Yeah, them and their Chinese & Thai restaruants in every town

Give me a Kebab, and dont skimp on the Tabbouleh either

How many heads have to be lopped off, suicide bombers deployed and car bombs detonated before Pauline Hanson realises Islam is a peaceful religion.

About the same as all the ones done in crusades, lynching mobs, abortion clinic doctor & nurse killings, etc...

Yes maybe we need ro send more drones and smart bombs into their schools and hospitals? That'd learn em for hating us.

I hope we don't have to go back to the polls. That'd mean I'd have to make another donation to the party. Lucky the swear jar is well and truly full after an eight week campaign and all those tory speeches.

I've probaby had the same conversation about 25 times on this forum alone, usually with people who say 'what's so bad about one Nation? They're not really racist'.
Yes. They are. Pretty unashamedly bigoted, uninformed scaremongerers and the only ones with a modicum of smarts that have ever been involved have been nasty horrible slimebags I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire.

If you think her maiden speech was even remotely informed, intelligent, thought provoking or otherwise worthy of note (and yes I listened to both that and her 'return to politics'' one years later) then you are welcome to vote for her. That's democracy. I am welcome to cast my vote elsewhere. I did and as long as her ilk are around, I'll continue to do so.

God I hope not, my donation to the Art-Insemination Party took all afternoon.

I'd probably bother if i thought that the few i'd refer to had either the intellectual or emotional capacity to understand why they're being racist and offensive.
And why this is only going to be to the detriment, never the betterment, of our country.

I know it sounds elitist, it's not meant to be. I just honesty doubt they have the capacity.
Or any understanding of history.
Or any understanding of the cultures they refer to, including Australia's in general.
Or any ability of personal reflection.
Or any capacity to think beyond "what about me".

I'm quite sure anything said to address this will be just water off a duck's back, merely seen as a red PC rag to a bull.


And regardless of anything to do with the various issues PH has raised over the last 20-odd years, she's still as thick as a brick. Plain and simple. Irrespective of her beliefs, she basically just a fool.
So well done. Another idiot in parliament. Just because there's already others there doesn't make it any better that you've helped put one more in.
At least if you're going to support racists and bigots, maybe try to find a smarter one that might be able to help solve something/anything while we're all paying her ... Actually, maybe Australia's much better off that our racists and bigots remain stupid.



Aah well, couldn't help myself with a quick rant.
Yes i'm offended. Offended, embarrassed and ashamed.

A religion of peace, or a religion of pieces?
