Title: Pauline closing in on seat Post by bogarde73 on Mar 29th, 2011 at 11:28am
PAULINE Hanson was in line for a shock win in the NSW Upper House last night.
After being written off after early counting on Saturday, the former One Nation Party leader crept ahead of a Greens candidate yesterday. The first votes counted in the Upper House were from Sydney and metropolitan areas but Ms Hanson has performed better in votes that were counted yesterday in rural NSW. Ms Hanson, who has moved to a coastal town north of Newcastle, was last night ahead of third Greens candidate Jeremy Buckingham. She reached a quota in the counting of 0.41, slightly ahead of Mr Buckingham's 0.398. Labor's sixth candidate, Andrew Ferguson last night slipped behind them both to 0.34. The Greens were a slim hope of winning the final spot last night if they benefit from any Labor preferences. Ms Hanson did not return calls from The Daily Telegraph last night |

I welcome Pauline Hansons voice back into the world of Politics, the more people we have representing us in there and not the globalists and corporations the better. :)

This would be a truly amazing result if she gets in, not that I am convinced it will happen.
Admittedly she has a very high profile - maybe the most recognisable political figure in the country. But to come from nowhere, with no party backing, to win an upper house seat! We'll see. |

I support the preferential system - and proportional representation - but there ARE oddities and DOWNSIDES to it
Pauline Hanson 1.87% of the vote SEAT WON Christian Democrats 3.07% of the vote (down 1.35%) SEAT WON Shooters and Fishers 3.7% of the vote (down 0.91%) SEAT WON The Greens 10.89% of the vote (up 1.77%) NO SEAT WON http://www.abc.net.au/elections/nsw/2011/guide/lc-results.htm FORTUNATELY, we seem to avoid electing these WHACKO parties in the Victorian upper house The worst WE could manage - was ONE from the old Catholic "black sheep" of the Labor Party family - the DLP come back to haunt us |

so why dont we get rid of ALL PREFERNTIAL voting then since you dont like it! that way federally Labor will lose about 20 seats they get from Green preferences and probably all Green senators will disappear. Oh thats right... your attitutude to preferential voting is like your attitude to polls... You like it when it serves your purposes and not when it doesnt. not a really credible opinion is it?? |

i agree they shouldnt but it is not easy to change anything without messing up the entire process. but keep in mind that Adam Bandt was elected using just such an anomaly. Labor scored a LOT more of the primary vote than the Greens. Under any fair system Labor would have won that seat too. SO be careful what you wish for. If you want to try the rather lame argument that 'more voters actually wanted the Greens than labor' then remember that the same argument applies to Fielding. |

The preferential system server us well with under a handful of cantidates Obviously NOT so well, in a field of HUNDREDS I would STILL support proportional representation in upper houses eg .... If a party gets 10% of the vote, I believe it should hold 10% of the seats in an upper house But 1.5% equates to less than ONE I ALSO believe, it's a system we are STUCK with Just like State Governments |

and equal argument is that a party with 10% of the vote is NOT WANTED by a very very large number of people. 10% might merit being heard but certianly not 10% of the seats. and if that applied then you would have to concede that Abbott with 500,000 MORE votes than Gillard should be PM. But I thought you'd change your mind when you realised that thr Greens benefit from the preferential system while the major parties suffer from it. |

Proportional representation is rubbish.
Basically the best form is voluntary voting based upon a first-past the post Westminster system. At the moment, the fact you have nutcases like the Greens represented for whom 9 out of 10 people didn't vote, is ludicrous. |

If you'd had the benefit of living in this country back when most immigrants would assimilate with similar ethnic and religious values you'd very likely take a different stance. Go here for a little update on what concerns us, and if you then care to go stick your "all knowing" head back in the sand, be my guest.

If you want to compare Norton st and Chinatown to Bankstown and Lakemba maybe even Auburn then we can see the difference. Norton st and Chinatown are very popular these people make you feel welcome how many people bother going to Bankstown-Lakemba-Auburn to experience multiculturalism? These dagos wogs and chinks as you called them all integrated into Australia they did not segregate their women from Australians and we have many marriages between these cultures. Aussies marry these dagos wogs and chinks as you called them. A muslim woman is forbidden to marry a non muslim so the Islamic ideology does not promote integration. These muslim migrants will not fit in like the others because their belief calls for segregation of believers and non believers. So how can muslim women integrate into Australia when they cannot marry the locals because they are not following the delusion called Islam? One of the 5 pillars of Islam is Hajj which is a trip to the homeland of Islam in Saudi Arabia where you look at a rock in a vagina and throw some stones at satan. Mecca or Makkah is off limits to non muslims there is a death penalty for non muslims caught there. Islam promotes a sexual apartheid in regard to womens rights and if you are a non muslim you are worthless in Islam. |

"I am a centrist who hates non-white people, believes them to be of lower class than me, wants the country to run like a large corporation and thinks all low income earners are whingers. Life is so easy." "My daddy didn't get sacked! It was deceit! Stop talking about it!" "Energy costs too much but I don't want to do anything about it." "I like air conditioning" add in a few personal stories here and there that mean absolutely nothing and then we can just repeat all the rest in the same order 5 times a day, and we get your entire contribution for the past 3 months. Hip hip, hooray. |
