The red headed nightmare Pauline Hanson has been turning Australian politics on its head after returning to federal parliament but it is her doings in the hustings that is bringing her undone

Pauline Hanson only cares about power, says ex-WA One Nation candidate Ray Gould

In the latest in party in-fighting she has sacked long term organisers on the eve of an election for being too old, I'm sure she could have put it better or just waited till the election was over and sacked them for incompetence when she lost as inevietably she must.

For those who don't know One Nation is the personal fifedom of Pauline, who espouses some radical ideas and could be considered the Maree le Penn of Australia as her right wing ideas are trumpeded in the halls of power and deals are done

competition for Red Julia ?

NO! Julia was a cunning, canniving darling of the left and a lawyer to boot. WA election has smacked Pauline in the face as well as sinking the WA Liberals for doing a preference deal with her. Politics here is a fickle thing but conservatives should take note. Hanson expects to do well in the Queensland state election but will need to think seriously about who she gets into bed with. The left appears to be resurgent in WA and the message to Turncoat is he could lose the next election in WA alone, and he needs to distance himself from One Nation who is led by the original bogan

for the people of this board who speak English :

The term bogan (/ˈboʊɡən/) is a derogatory Australian and New Zealand slang word used to describe a person whose speech, clothing, attitude and behaviour exemplify values and behaviour considered unrefined or unsophisticated.

Yes Tom that is the general conception, It also has come to mean an unsophisticated living like upper middle class, thus Pauline has the trappings of money but not the grace to keep her mouth shut. Her most famous saying is "please explain". In the state where I live we have the Bogan River, Bogan Gate, the Big Bogan and a TV show called upper middle bogan

And by the way Tom we do speak English, the Queen's English not that polygot tongue that has developed to the west of the Atlantic
