Though shalt not commit electoral fraud, or Pauline gets 3 years

I wonder if she asked the judge to 'please explain' that one.

On a side note, I actually went to her infamous fish n' chip shop before she was famous. I went to school in Ipswich, sadly, and when I was over a friend's house we went to her shop in the suburb of Booval.

To be honest, I kind of feel sorry for her, as one would feel sorry for a dog too stupid to know why it's been kicked. She was no more redneck / uninformed than half of our population, except she felt she could perform the mighty 'backstreet lass => parliament' jump (typical 'rags to riches' tale). The media had a field day (and why wouldn't they) and chewed up this woman who had no idea of how to play politics.

Nonetheless, the real crime she committed here was thinking the 'common voice' was 'the informed voice'.

They knew right from the start that the formation of "One Nation" was a joke, as it only had three members. Here she was, supposed to be giving the average Australian there voice back in politics, and the first thing they do is lock their party up in a con.
 
When I saw this, I wondered if you two had started a new thread just so it wouldn't have my post in it.

*sob*

I was hoping to get the duplicate deleted before anyone posted to it...

Bugger.
 
There are some really, really scary stories around about the extent of PH's naivete during the time at which One Nation was formed and the extent to which she was manipulated by D1 and D2. Let's just say that she isn't "bright" by any stretch of the imagination.
 
What's really fascinating to see is ex-One Nation'er David Oldfield -who usually calls for tougher sentences, mandatory minimum sentences, death penalty, etc- suddenly finds it within himself to call for leniency in the case of David Ettheridge and Pauline Hanson.

"Aw, they just made a mistake, they didn't mean to do it..."

Yeah, Pauline accidentally spent party funds on house extensions. I can see how someone can make a mistake like that.
 
"Bugger" has been de-sworn in Australia. We even have an ad for a utility van where the van- so powerful it destroys everything in its wake- causes observers to say 'bugger'.

Besides, 'bugger' is really only a swearword if you say 'bugger that' or 'I'm going to bugger you'. It isn't a swearword if you mean it as 'The Don is a silly old bugger' (See "The King's English" by Kingsley Amis). We don't know which inflection of 'bugger' reprise meant, she could have been saying 'I'm a bugger, aren't I?'
 
Sydney Morning Herald, "Appeal in Offing; Plea for Protective Custody"


Hanson, who sported a variety of smart outfits during the four-week trial including a navy suit today, will be given a blue-grey tracksuit prison uniform.

She will be strip-searched and have a medical check-up before being assigned to a cell.

Hanson will be entitled to keep few personal possessions and was to be issued with a standard hygiene pack.

Visits will be restricted to just a few each week.

Hanson could end up like jailed former Queensland chief magistrate Di Fingleton and be transferred at a later date to a low security facility elsewhere in Brisbane.

But both she and Ettridge for the moment have been classified as maximum security prisoners.

I wonder if this experience will temper One Nation's views on tougher sentencing and mandatory minimum sentencing?

Typical crypto fascist jackbooted lackie of the great evil oppressor (Hal).

Obviously you are supressing something and when I finally figure out what it is I'm going to start a whiney thread about it!!!!!!!
 
Office comment overheard: At least Wacol Gaol will be having well-cooked fish 'n' chips regularly. (An Oz joke, folks...)

Also noted: Today's Courier Mail (Brisbane's ultra-parochial daily tabloid, for the non-Oz) devoted the first seven(7) pages to Pauline plus commentary. The Israel bombing made page 20, the Baghdad bombing page 21. Who says we can't produce world-class dullards of our own!

I saw a headline that compared her to Nelson Mandela.

Uh, oh. I think my head is going to explode.

Hmmmmmmm, Is Nelson a Racist Nazi? Did he falsify records to claim electoral allowance money? Did he spend large amounts of money donated "for the cause" on personal Items?

Yep, the similarity is astonishing. About the only thing they will ever have in common is time in prison.

She is scum, trying to tap into the underlying racism and fears of the ignorant to feather her own nest. Good riddance.
