She is telling a massive lie if she think Australians are even remotely accepting of him and how he runs.

Pauline must think that copying Donald Trump word for word and saying controversial things will help get her exposure.

But we dont have any illegal immigrants anymore. Muslim immigration leading to terrorist activities is virtually non-existent.

So her only controversial position is she has a thing for Vladimir Putin.

Nonetheless it's working. Pauline is is sitting about 11% in the polls. Given the hidden orange haired loving silent voter effect, that number will probably end up around 18%.

She might win Kalgoorlie and a couple of regional seats.

It was in Mandurah this afternoon.

http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/waelection/wa-election-2017-one-nation-leader-pauline-hanson-campaigns-in-wa/news-story/4c08ee3ded58f5c311653fa38d1a6096

Half way down.

Pauline is getting mass coverage akin to Donald Trump:

https://www.9now.com.au/a-current-affair/2017/clip-cizxwh8tu006e0gpmugj4sexh

Pauline could have killed that interview.

A Current Affair ran an extremely disturbing racially motivated muslim gang rape case 2 mins before that interview. If only Pauline had known, she could have accused Tracy of stirring up religious tensions herself.

Still, the two most powerful women in Australia is always a laugh.

Tracy ripped her a couple of times.

As a fish batterer she can more credibly carry the 'populist' label than Trump, I suppose.

She is more popular now than in 1998.

Just surviving that long in politics and spending time in jail is a sign of a survival instinct.

Pauline actually had an Asian woman as a candidate in her party, and sacked her for saying homophobic remarks.

http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/pauline-hanson-suspends-candidate-shan-ju-lin-over-homophobic-comments/news-story/a4950c36612f8f316bec6530bcf56ce9

Shan Ju Lin said that homosexuals should be treated like patients seeking medical attention.

To which Pauline said

“These are not the views shared by Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, now the views of your fellow candidates and the general public,” she said.

“I will not stand by and allow people to trash the Party or my name, so I make no apologies for being tough on candidates.”

Salt Creek Backpacker Sexual Attack trial begins in Adelaide.

Two young foreign female backpackers from Germany and Brazil seeking to travel from Adelaide to Melbourne offered lift by 60 yo suspect.



Stopped and camped at a beach on the way. He has cut one girls bikini off with a knife when she was slightly drunk after walking her into remote sand dunes near the beach.

"He grabbed her, he pulled her to the ground face first, he positioned himself over her body preventing her from getting up. Then he produced a knife.

"The accused had total domination over her. With the flurry of a knife she was naked. Lying in the sand she was helpless."

She pointed out she would be more comfortable back in the beach side tent, so he walked her back there naked....

http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-09/salt-creek-trial-hears-alleged-kidnapper-was-armed-with-hammer/8338610

He has allegedly tried to strip them, bind them and sexually assault them in remote samd dunes. Amazing story of escape. This will end up being a movie.

Meanwhile, an English backpacker has been kidnapped in Queensland and kept as a sex slave for 2 months by a 22 year old man.

http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-07/rape-strangulation-charges-for-man-found-hiding-car/8330624

Going to jail for a very long time.

The liberals are down to just 2 premierships after the liberal party is removed from office in a landslide.

One nation has also performed really poorly, only pulling 4.5% as of 8:01 AWST

follow the election live: http://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/wa-election-2017/

The results show that One Nation peaked ages ago, and shouldn't be a problem in most states, except in Queensland

Isn't it fun watching the Australian right implode?

The just got smashed in WA. I mean, it was a complete blowout. And this was likely what doomed them; it made it easy for WA Labor to paint them as going too far to the right.

Either way, I predict a massive Labor swing in 2019.

The Liberals are seriously inept if they are actually sticking with Fizza Turnbull after the last couple of months.

Has Turnbull actually accomplished anything other than presiding over an increase in homelessness and a decrease in take-home pay?  Pathetic.

Well who takes over? Dutton? His seat is slightly marginal. Bishop? The right wing won't support a moderare woman. Abbott? He'll get crushed in 2019.

No matter who is leader, they'll get crushed, becuase the Liberal bench is extremely weak.

OMG. This is the craziest story of backpacker survival since Joanne Lees escaped the evil clutches of the murderous Bradley John Murdoch.

It hardly matters, the Liberals have no record to run on, so I guess you are right that they would be better off with Turnbull.

PM Dutton would probably be the final nail in the coffin in Australia's international reputation.

Bishop is extraordinarily corrupt, even by the standards of the Turnbull government.  If she ever really wanted to be leader of the Liberals, she should have probably been more careful not to so blatantly accept gifts and bribes from donors.

As Lok sais above, the Liberals have no one ready to take over. Labor has a decent bench. Plibersek, Albanese, Chris Bowen, Tony Burke and so on.

The point is, if Shorten suddenly implodes (which I honestly can't see happening), then there's a cadre of skilled leaders ready to take over, so old Bill can rest easy. Turnbull can't do the same.

Chris Bowen and Anthony Albanese suck, lol.

I actually think Shorten is doing fine.  But I could be biased.

I used to live in Albanese's district (he is a real piece of work), now I live next to Shorten's, and met him last year the day after the election.  That was a very exciting day - it still wasn't clear that Turnbull's government would hold on!

But apparently Turnbull is feeling emboldened because he's "only" down 52-48 in the latest NewsPoll.  How many is that in a row where the Coalition is losing? Cheesy
