Don't expect a significant One Nation presence in the Senate, though Hanson may win her seat. She'll be busy. Blast from the Past For a good wholesome slapdown, watch the roughhousing going on in South Korea, where politics is an extreme contact sport. The issue is the government's current audit of 23 newspapers and other media. Opponents say the companies are being subjected to a financial witch-hunt in an attempt to get them to curb criticism of the Kim Dae Jung administration.
Auditors say they're just doing their job.
Then, former president Kim Young Sam stepped into the fray. He admitted that a 1994 audit of the media industry, which took place during his rule, came up with so much dirt that it was politically expedient to ignore the results. The investigation's paperwork was destroyed in 1997. Now Kim Dae Jung wants a criminal investigation into the 1994 audit and coverup. You decide if that's because Kim Young Sam's recently released memoirs claim that Kim Dae Jung once amassed a huge sum of slush funds while he was in the opposition.
