It seems almost cruel to laugh at Pauline Hanson, the fish and chip shop owner turned politician turned Donut King spruiker, but we are overjoyed by the news that she has decided to run — again — for federal parliament. With the ALP apparently having decided to campaign for office on the basis of bromidic poll-driven platitudes, the upcoming election looked rather boring so Pauline Hanson’s entry into the race is to be welcomed. Certainly, we are sure that she will provide plenty of comedic grist for the Austrolabe mill in coming months.
But what will the policies be of this new and revamped Pauline Hanson? Last time, she was talking about Australia being swamped with Asians, warning that we needed to stop them from coming here or else bad things would happen. For example, threatening our way of life by spreading the noxious evils of mathematics and science.
Whining about Asians is so 1990s though. So this time, Pauline will be campaigning on a “sick of Muslims” platform.
“People have a right to be very concerned about this because of the terrorist attacks that have happened throughout the world.
“I’m sick of these people coming out here and saying that our girls are like the meat market and the bible that is urinated on … am I supposed to be tolerant?”
It’s a message that Pauline Hanson hopes will have wide support — including from Muslim women.
“I think that if Muslim women realise how they have been treated I probably would get a lot of support,” she said.
“Maybe we should look at the female genital mutilation that happens to young girls in this country … if people want to live by these ways then go back to the Muslim countries.”
I don’t know on what basis Hanson has formed the opinion that FGM is happening to young girls in this country. Perhaps, they came into her fish and chip shop and told her about it over some battered savs and a dollars worth of chips. Or maybe it was through her impressive work on Dancing with the Stars that she became aware of the problem. But according to the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Gynecologists (RANZCOG), “…there is no direct evidence that FGM is being practised in Australia.”

its probably for the better that she hates us, otherwise we would have to have sex with her. A punishment she reserves for her admirers.
[...] Austrolabe, a buffoon like Hanson is a gift that just keeps giving. Related PostsRon Paul, RunRon Paul on the Late ShowPauline Hanson on Malaysia, David Hicks and [...]
This is story about A lady who had small fish and chips shop, in her area there was a lot of Asians, Muslims, Africans and Italians Bosnians Serbians, as fish and chips is not popular in their culture they did not come often to buy from her, she hated them as they pass in front of her shop day after day and not stop by … she could do a lot better with a higher turn over if they buy from her. She started to make comment to every white man comes in her shop and she realized that a lot of people agreed, some of them because they have to listen while waiting for their meal some of them they don’t like colored people. then she came to the conclusion that there are a lot of racist people that can support her in her sick racial ideology, she was amazed that how many racist in Australia that work in the dark especially when she raised her voice, she find in fact there are a lot of people that might like to bring the past (racism, hatred and violence against minorities) as well planed not by her but by some people that work behind the Curtin , those people draw where and when she raise her voice. She hates the fact that Australia is now proudly multicultural country, and denies the fact her roots come down to Australia from another country, it’s a me alone politic and selfishness. She ignored the suffer and sorrow that Italian, Jewish and some of European had to leave up with, in the past. She ignore the fact that human rights are supported by white people black people Jewish, Chinese to all race and to all religions (no exception). The position where she stands now dose not need strong man or woman as she claims. But need a person that dose not feel a shame of what is shameful, needs a person that who don’t care about anyone else apart from his personal interest on the top off that you come to public money easier than your income. All of this what made her unique. Racism hatred violence against minorities none of these things are the Australian way of life. Lies that made up to support her campaign are well planed to fool the Australian public to win their sympathy in a very cheap way, some of her lies such as Muslim don’t like Christmas tries in the shopping centers or Africans people brings HIV in Australia and many lies against Chinese or Lebanese tells you that she have access to police and health records, all of these are the crap that she come up with. The fact is Muslims they have nothing to do with Christmas tree. More than that there are businesses that own by Muslims importing Christmas trees. African brings HIV? The fact is that all immigrant from all over the world coming to Australia they have to pass a medical test that HIV test included. African has high crime? The police report shortly made after this statement about Sudanese crime insisted that it is blow average .are all of the above mentioned minorities are well fitted in the Australian community? If you look carefully into this you will be surprised by the number of people from their community that are public servant, doctors, engineers, lawyer, Labors, journalist and writers they do their jobs not less than any others. Also they are a big supporter to Australia in every challenge. Sport, entertainment and participant and donators of fundraising of health funds. Many of them are members of different political parties. Their kids are grown as Australian and they absorb the Australian culture. Their kids they don’t know their native language but English, they communicate in their homes in English they go to the parks and play cricket or footy and talk among their self about Australian teams and players, mostly talk about the Australian Idol, realty TV shows and grown people they watch rove live, current affairs and 60 minutes, neighbors, movies or some debates in the parliment. But most of them they come back from work very tired after long hours of hard work and they hit the sacks, their weekend some of them read their books or visit a friend talk about almost everything that Australia talk about interest rates fuel cost or education concern for their kids university expenses, where some others grab their six pack. Australia should not be limited to a certain race or religion, Australia should be Australia, not only for you, not only for me, but for all of us, and there is a place for all of us and there is a place for all of them who want to come to complete their relative, the independent aged parents and children their family members. Let them to come to enjoys the beauty of this wonderful and peaceful land and share this privilege with all of us. One day their kids would start to like fish and chips but I am afraid this will be too late to enjoy it if you start a call for racism and hatred. Ladies and gentlemen crime is a crime no matter who commit that crime, I have never heard of a black parents wished their murdered child was murdered by black man or white parents wished their murdered child was murdered by a certain skin colored man, It’s a crime and we should be focusing in a law enforcement against crime not by attacking ethnic minorities or black people in Australia I don’t like my house to be roped neither by black or white man, its hard to count how many black man been annoyed by white or white man been annoyed by black man. The bad side of this there is a man been annoyed and bullied.
