  Pauline Hanson still walks among us - theage.com.au   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
When Pauline Hanson and One Nation first appeared on the national scene, it took a while for political observers to grasp that the more she was ridiculed, the more popular she became.
And while Hanson's racism is appalling and her political solutions are simplistic, it would be naive to believe that she no longer poses a threat to Australia simply because she, and fellow One Nation founder David Ettridge, have been convicted of electoral fraud.
While Hanson's racism appealed to the right, her views on globalisation and its effects on manufacturing and agriculture struck a chord with those members of the left who were never comfortable with Labor's pursuit of a deregulated economy.

Hanson, an endorsed Liberal Party candidate at the 1996 federal election, had been disendorsed by the party shortly before the elections due to comments against what she saw as "race-based welfare," made to local newspaper in Ipswich, Queensland.

Pauline Hanson first came to prominence after being disendorsed by the Liberal Party in the 1996 federal elections for airing her grievances about welfare payments to Aborigines.
For the ruling elite and media barons, Hanson and her One Nation party, which was formed in early 1997, became convenient and timely vehicles for shifting the whole spectrum of official politics to the right.

 Pauline Hanson
My public position on the extreme right One Nation Party of Pauline Hanson has been that as she threatens the interests of the bourgeoisie with her anti-Asian racism she would be lucky to get 4% of the poll.
I think that what has to be learnt is that while we have in the past seen Hanson as a loony, and only ratbags would support her, it is not so, and the threat she represents and is able to gather is far more serious.
Hanson and Howard want to totally disposses the aboriginal people, national sorrow is only the recognition of injustice and giving it a form,it is a class issue and the working class are as much to blame as the ruling class for the stolen children.

 Pauline Hanson: who is the real villain?
As Hanson's offence involved the misappropriation of funds perhaps Judge Wolfe's sentence was an expression of particular loathing for this kind of crime.
When we compare Wolfe's sentencing record with the sentence she gave Hanson, I think we would be right to deduce that either her previous sentences were too light or that the Hanson sentence was too severe.
Hanson is a naïve and ignorant woman, so why didn't the brilliant Abbott and his merry band of politically sophisticated supporters simply take her to task in the public arena?

Pauline Hanson still has an appeal, but whatever happens most people feel it is not appropriate for her to be behind bars, and whatever faults she has, she is not seen as a person acting with criminal intent.
Pauline Hanson was found guilty by all twelve jurors, on all counts against her name, as is the requirement in Queensland.

 THE AUSTRALIAN PARTY SYSTEM, PAULINE HANSON’S ONE NATION, AND THE PARTY CARTELISATION THESIS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Or as Paul Sheehan, from the right, put it: ‘the key to Pauline Hanson’s rise in Australian politics are these words’, from her maiden speech: ‘“for far too long ordinary Australians have been kept out of major debates by the political parties”’ (1998, 222).
But Hanson and David Ettridge, jailed under that state’s Criminal Code for dishonestly inducing registration of a political party (and, in Hanson’s case, defrauding the public purse) were not the hapless victims of a rule that discriminated in favour of parties already in the parliament.
What brought Hanson and Ettridge undone was not the height of the hurdle set by a political cartel but their own decision to eschew a large membership while pretending to have one.

 Green Left - Issues: Why Pauline Hanson hates Resistance
The reason for Hanson's hatred for Resistance is clear when you compare the size of Hanson's own meetings to far larger counter-demonstrations outside, counter-demonstrations that Resistance has been very active in helping to organise.
