One Nation leader again warns of terror and suburbs ‘swamped by Asians’
One Nation fielded 27 candidates in the election, including Pauline.
“In times of economic difficulty, populist calls by such as One Nation leader Pauline Hanson for curbs on immigration are always vote-winners”.
One Nation also recorded a strong turn-out in other seats, including 18 per cent in the LNP seat of Maranoa and 8 per cent in the ALP seat of Oxley, without changing the seat.
On Monday, Labor leader Bill Shorten said Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s double dissolution election and Senate reforms were to blame for One Nation’s rise.
“That’s why I think maybe some of the other members of parliament have not taken a stance against this as well and I see the fear when I turn on my TV or see what’s happening in the rest of the world”.
Her likely Senate colleague Derryn Hinch said he had a very long chat to Turnbull.
“If either of them are going to be prime minister I am quite happy to work with them”. 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 haven’t got the people around me who were out for their own self-interest or gain”.
“So they were out there trying”.
While Hanson will be looking to take her controversial perspective to the Australian Senate, it seems halal might just make its way to her in a dish served fresh with irony.
“I don’t need to listen to anything. People are suffering from Wellington to Carinda, Quirindi to where I live at Cessnock”, Mr Burston said.
In an earlier interview with the Daily Telegraph, Mr Burston was quoted saying “Islam is an infringement on our country” and reportedly described it as a “religion of hate”.
But Pauline Hanson’s One Nation is a blokes’ show, and the policies underline that.
“The punitive maintenance regime will be overhauled as a matter of urgency”.
Her “zero-net” migration policy would mean the number of people moving to Australia from overseas could be no greater than the amount of people leaving.
These are the products of seething, marginalised men, often middle-aged, who are seeking explanations for life not being optimal.
There would be support for a plebiscite on same sex marriage, although voting for law changes.
Greens leader Richard Di Natale said it was “certain” Ms Hanson had made a successful return to the parliament and his party would do all it could to keep her in check. They also have a good chance at securing a seat in New South Wales, and a possible seat in Western Australia.
“I have got no problems with anyone – if they have got a problem with me, that’s their issue, not mine”, she said, adding that the major parties needed to start listening to grassroots Australians.
