    In the news today: It’s official. Pauline Hanson is a racist.
    I nearly made a post about it - but I decided it wasn’t actually news to anyone.

      dont really need a ruling to confirm that. I’d call her a c word, but that seems an insult to genitals.

        Lacks the warmth and depth. She’s a douche. Claims to fix a problem that doesn’t exist and is actively harmful

      it bothers me how when she first started she was mocked for being a woman, for being a red head, for being working class, for having a working class business

      and then people wonder why she got votes 🙄

      few people reported on or cared what she was saying, nor that what she was saying was normal LNP party policy

      there are few good guys in that whole fucking drama

      I do wonder if she did good potato cakes though (not that’d I’d buy one but I’d eat it if it was free).

      It isn’t, but it’s like when you have someone that everyone knows has ADHD who finally gets a diagnosis. It’s good for everyone that it’s finally on record and they can get the support they need.

      Actually I don’t know if that last bit will happen for Pauline 🤔

        why are you making shit up, I never said I agreed or supported her

        I am saying how she was reported and what the public response was

        it pissed me off how the LNP lied when they said they weren’t racist and that Hanson doesn’t represent them, she exposed them all as being racist. She was originally a LNP candidate.

        Hanson was quoting the policies in the members handbook the LNP gave her

        the racist LNP were angry at her for exposing their hidden racism, the city middle class mocked her , this is such a fucking classist country

        the news did not focus on her racism and nativism, just her class

        I hated Fraser but at least he wasn’t a racist cunt like Howard and the rest
