Paulin Hanson Is Back! SMH

One Nation's national president Neil Russell-Taylor said the party was disappointed Pauline Hanson had decided to stand as an independent in the Senate for Queensland.
But Mr Russell-Taylor said he was confident One Nation members would get behind the party's sitting Queensland senator Len Harris, who is up for re-election.
Ms Hanson, the founder of One Nation, has told the ABC's Enough Rope program she intended to nominate for the Senate today.
Mr Russell-Taylor said the move was disappointing, but not surprising.
"The bottom line is I'm disappointed, not for myself but for members who have put in hundreds of hours and dollars to help her," he said.
"I would be very disappointed if she didn't preference us second."
Mr Russell-Taylor said he believed Senator Harris had better electoral chances than Ms Hanson.
"Len is an intellectual giant compared to Pauline," he said.
"What do people want? Do they want someone to represent them or a presidential-style campaign?
"Len offers sincerity in the position."
Mr Russell-Taylor said Senator Harris had given the state strong representation and worked well with other minor parties in the upper house.
He said he did not believe the party would have to plead with its members not to support Ms Hanson's campaign.
"People won't be split. We have a new type of member. They are pragmatic about the basic politics," he said.
And he said Ms Hanson had not shown the party loyalty, telling the executive in 2001 that if she wasn't elected on the party's ticket to the Senate she would sit as an independent.

- One Nation Finished, Says Co-Founder
By: Samantha Baden
The AGE (30 Dec 04)
One Nation would never again be a credible force in Australian politics and now only existed in the minds of a handful of "lonely" people who were "clinging to a cadaver", the party's co-founder said today.
One Nation co-founder David Ettridge, who is no longer connected to the party, today said the organisation he started with Pauline Hanson was now dead.
His comments come a day after One Nation NSW Upper House MP David Oldfield announced he would leave the party next year and serve the remainder of his term as an independent.
Mr Oldfield's departure leaves just two parliamentarians serving under the One Nation banner, Queensland state MP Rosa Lee Long and Queensland senator Len Harris, who lost his place in the last election and will retire on June 30 next year.
"I really think the party is non-existent," Mr Ettridge said.
"It exists in the minds now of a handful of people who are clinging to a cadaver and those people I think are just lonely souls who need somewhere to go for monthly meetings."
One Nation's steady erosion began in 2000, two years after the Hanson-led movement won 11 seats in the Queensland parliament.
It has been plagued by disunity ever since, Mr Ettridge said.
Mr Oldfield was forced into leaving the party because of its lack of popularity, Mr Ettridge said.
"This is the essence of David Oldfield's move - the One Nation party could not pass an audit test by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC)," Mr Ettridge said.
"It simply doesn't have enough members and he's forced into being an independent no matter what happens because he simply can't remain registered as a party."
Mr Oldfield today rejected the claim and said extra members' details were lodged with the AEC when he left the party to keep membership numbers at the correct level.
"That's just ridiculous, the numbers are appropriate," Mr Oldfield said.
Mr Oldfield was voted into the NSW Legislative Council in 1999 as a representative of Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party, but quit that party in 2000 when he helped to found One Nation NSW.
Both Mr Ettridge and Ms Hanson made separate unsuccessful efforts to win Senate seats in the November federal election.
Both were previously jailed for 11 weeks for electoral fraud before their convictions were overturned on appeal.
Mr Ettridge is no longer in contact with Ms Hanson or any of his former One Nation colleagues and sees no future for himself in politics.
"I have no faith in it, no belief in it and certainly no future in it."

One Nation's David Oldfield to Go It Alone
SMH (29 Dec 04)
The One Nation upper house MP David Oldfield says he will leave his party next year and serve the rest of his term as an independent.
Mr Oldfield was voted into the upper house in 1999 as a representative of Pauline Hanson's One Nation, but quit that party in 2000 when he helped to found One Nation NSW.
Asked yesterday if he felt he owed an explanation to the people who voted him in as a One Nation representative, he said: "Not really, no."
The president of One Nation NSW, Ian Hale, said Mr Oldfield's split from the party had been amicable.

PM Pinched My Policies: Hanson
One Nation founder Pauline Hanson says the Howard Government has adopted her policies.
Ms Hanson, the controversial former member for the Queensland seat of Oxley, shot to fame on the back of her warning that Australia was in danger of being "swamped by Asians".
Yesterday, the former politician said Prime Minister John Howard had used her as a sounding board with the public over controversial policies before taking them for himself.
"The Government has taken up a lot of the issues that I've spoken about over the years," Ms Hanson told ABC Television. "I think John Howard was very clever, very clever indeed."
Ms Hanson also made headlines when she attacked welfare arrangements for indigenous Australians and was widely seen as influencing the Coalition Government's agenda.
She said the media saw her as a de facto member of cabinet.
Ms Hanson spent 11 weeks in jail in 2003 for electoral fraud before her conviction was overturned.

Isn’t it curious as to how some media event, such as Pauline Hansin apearing on This Is Your Life, and, Sir Bob and Bono almost many other pop entertainers, were overshadowed by another media event – the London bombings.
I guess that as the media most keen observer on MV and being also the most unique commentator on the subject here, you have a view or two on the priority media gives to some events considered “news worthy” and not to others.
Any comments? Please?!?
Wassalam

- Who Needs Pauline Hanson?

(file pic)
Politics and celebrity are like a drug—once people get a sniff of influence and renown, they find it near impossible to shake the addiction.
Pauline Hanson is threatening a return to federal politics, and she’s signalled her reprise by demanding Muslims and black Africans be banned from entering Australia to quarantine the country from Islamic fundamentalism, AIDS and other diseases.
Whether Hanson is dinkum about a comeback, she’s provoked a furious reaction from Australian political leaders. I can’t believe she’s serious about re-running for parliament, but a prospective financial bonus might prove tempting—Hanson doesn’t have to win office to receive $2.05 per vote from the taxpayer, so long as she secures more than four per cent of the primary vote. In 2004, she walked away with almost $200,000.
It’s probably no coincidence that Hanson’s political ruminations coincide with the release of a tell-all book sometime during the election year.
I suspect she’ll splutter into deeper irrelevance, although Hanson’s uglier remarks often get wide airplay in Asia where, wrongly, she tends to be portrayed as something close to mainstream.
Surely Hanson’s contemporary appeal matches that of the Ebola virus, and this is all just sad and desperate showboating?
