I did precisely the same thing, but if you are going to lead a party, then listen to what those who genuinely worry about you, have to say. This man was going to be the inspirational force behind the new wave of Hansonism. For those who witnessed the puppet-master clad in blue jeans crouched uncomfortably to the side of the 2GB studio console, Mr X hardly made an auspicious television entry. During the commercial break he stumbled not once but twice. First he 'advised' his charge that sole parents were more likely to be harbingers of 'homosexual children' and secondly he had committed a classic faux pas in failing to recognise that Hanson herself was a sole parent.
Politicians have to think on their feet.
This man had trouble squatting. There has been much controversy surrounding the publication of Pauline Hanson's book The Truth. The author of the book has yet to be revealed, although Whiteside offers some important clues. He claims that Denis McCormack of Australians Against Further Immigration wrote parts of the book and edited it. When Joe told me about the book, I understood it to be one he was writing himself.
