Right-wing firebrand Pauline Hanson says she's penned an autobiography because she's sick of getting "kicked in the guts" and wants to answer the "untruths and lies".

The former One Nation leader said she was focusing on the March 29 release of the book before mounting a political comeback at this year's federal election.

Ms Hanson said it marked "my time to put across my side of the story".

"I just want it to set the record straight - that's really what it's all about, you know?" Ms Hanson told AAP.

"I'm sick of getting kicked in the guts over the years and I'm sick of these people coming out with their lies and their untruths and I just thought it's my time."

She said the book "in a fair and just way" chronicled her life, including her childhood, her controversial political career and her 11-week stint in prison in 2003 for electoral fraud before her conviction was overturned and she was released.

"Look it's not a book where it's 'Hey, wow, I've been absolutely fantastic' - I've been truthful in the book," Ms Hanson said.

"It tells people a lot about me, my childhood, my background.

"...I'm just saying this is what's happened behind the scenes, this is what's happened to me and why decisions were made and why I had to do these things."

She said the few people who had read the book "thoroughly enjoyed" it but she would let "people make up their own minds".

"I know it's gone to print and I'm really happy about that - it's been a big job, very big," Ms Hanson said.

It may bare a few suprises and i hope she tips a bucket on the people in the media that took some of her quotes out of context in the name of sensationalism.
I dont think she should have gone to jail,that was an utter disgrace,she was a scapegoat,plain and simple.To my mind she spoke the way a lot of Aussies think but was not prepared for the hammering she would get from the media for airing those views
At least she had the intestinal fortitude to stand by her remarks and made every effort to put them back into focus in a bumbling sort of way.
I like the lady and even considered giving her one for good luck

Rural Australia owes a great debt of gratitude to Pauline Hanson. Without her exquisite personification of the inarticulate rage so common in the bush, there would have been no other conduit for the delivery of such an enormous kick to that most sensitive part of our political powerbrokers’ anatomy, the (ballot) box.

They got her in the end of course, with a brutality that only a society with such corrupt sophistication can deliver, then completed the job with a softly-softly drenching in milk and honey.

How long will we have to wait until our next Pauline Hanson emerges to ignite the passions of the voiceless horde?

Pauline was valuable because she showed in a real way that people were willing to vote and support someone with views that were so politically incorrect. Behind the secrecy of the ballot box Real Australians can be heard  - if they have someone who is delivering the message that they want to hear.

Wow thanks mantra! wasnt expecting that! im just waiting for freediver to pounce and call me a fascist!

Perhaps, Mantra might understand now!

Not to bag out ms hanson, but she was'nt the smartest human on earth. Moreover, she did'nt have the WILL to continue. There is no such thing as being politically correct, anyone who bends to todays society of weak multiculturist rat bags is not worthy of speaking for the people.
There is nothing wrong with honesty, in fact, it is the basis of free speech.
Pauline opened up the idea of Australian Nationalism, and it is up to us MEN who will take up the struggle. As men, we wont give up so easily and as i stated earlier, someone will take our place.
Lets hope its soon. I for one, would like to take up the challenge,if the people would want me.

saying sorry for something that happened 200+ years ago

There are plenty of people still alive today who had their wages taken under offical state policies. People don't recover from that very quickly. It can take a few generations. Is a fair day's pay for an honest day's work too much to ask for?
