Isolationism is the only sane course. An Australian MP has set off a storm of controversy with a remarkably clear-thinking maiden speech in the Australian Parliament on September 10th, 1996. Her blunt words have resulted in threats of withdrawal of investments by Asian tycoons and such a swelling of public support that, were she to form her own party, is would hold the balance of power should an election be called tomorrow. Pauline Hanson did the unspeakable - she stood up and spoke up for her race. It is reported that she has had to go into hiding because of threats against her life.
Word is that media coverage ever since has been non-stop and vitriolic.
Here is an abridged version. My view on issues is based on commonsense, and my experience as a mother of four children, as a sole parent, and as a businesswoman running a fish and chip shop. I won the seat of Oxley largely on an issue that has resulted in me being called a racist. That issue related to my comment that Aboriginals received more benefits than non-Aboriginals. In response to my call for equality for all Australians, the most noisy criticism came from the fat cats, bureaucrats and the do-gooders.
