...
By the holy flying cane toads this is SERIOUS!!!!!



Pauline Hanson's One Nation careering from controversy to oblivion
By AAP 12:22am May 26, 2017

Pauline Hanson has been forced to defend One Nation as at least five agencies and several ministers weigh up allegations against her party.

The Australian Federal Police, Queensland police, Australian Electoral Commission, Queensland Crime and Corruption Commission, Attorney-General George Brandis, Justice Minister Michael Keenan, Special Minister of State Scott Ryan and the Electoral Commission of Queensland are all examining allegations against One Nation.

Labor shadow attorney-general Mark Dreyfus summed up the situation in a question to the prime minister in parliament this week.

Not unless she loses the idea that Liberal policy is her own, and gets back to genuine grass roots instead of this elitist nonsense like saying that HECS people should start repaying when they make $450 a week pre-tax.

She needs to stop listening to the latest good-sounding voice that gets in her ear, and start formulating a solid and reliable platform that does not waver all the time to suit the prevailing wind...

Once you come out and tell everyone you are on the side of the little people - you have to remain there and not prevaricate with every passing thought bubble that comes along, wrapped up for you by some slick salesman in a suit.  The Liberals must be laughing all the time knowing they only need to go chat with her and explain the wonders of their policy idea and the benefit for Australia, and she's theirs.

BPD perhaps?

You would reckon she learned from the days of being imprisoned as a result of not so well defined issues of governance within the Party.  She clearly has not.  Yet again, she is being attacked for pretty much the same thing...the PHON Constitution, its very core document, being in apparent breach of AEC Rules through to conspiracies to game the system (something she wants welfare recipients deported for) and including a dodgy arrangement about the plane which seems to be yet another attempt to game AEC's donation reporting requirements.

The common factor in all this and the past is Perilous Pauline, AND creepy, flawed advisers who all seem to believe they are gifted in how to cut corners without anyone noticing, when in reality, their 'plans' are so naive and rudimentary, a schoolkid could dream them up.  Another common factor between the past and now, is the internal implosions.  Look at the Pasquali (sp) fiasco, the two Davids, the WA ditching of loyal supporters, the disgruntled candidates and former employees who are all coming out of the wood work to leak on PHON, PP and that idiot Ashby.

She must ditch him, but I fear she will not because she knows that what he knows will bring her down and he will not hesitate to use whatever he has.

In short, she delivers herself up into the hands of charlatans whose chicanery will always be exposed, bringing with it significant loss of political capital, and perhaps the loss of a golden opportunity to seriously disrupt the duopoly of the major parties.

The acid test for Pauline will be the Qld state election where she is a folk hero.

In WA she effectively controls WA thru her WA Senate seats.

She ain't no folk hero up here at all.  She is cunning enough to associate herself with disaffected groups (like the Taxi Industry) offer them support, and have them line up behind her.

She has zero chance of winning Government, but she does have a chance to hold the balance of power....if she can bring to an end all this unravelling.

I reckon Palaszczuk is leaving the election for as long as possible for two reasons....(a) allow time for the new electorates to be established and in place, and (b) allow time for PHON to further implode.

Even ASIO is scared stiff of Pauline on one side and scared stiff of Triggsy on the other side.



'Absolutely no evidence': ASIO boss shuts down Hanson over refugee terror links
Michael Koziol Political Insider MAY 26 2017 - 10:47AM

The head of Australia's top spy agency has rebuffed One Nation leader Pauline Hanson over her fears that refugees were contributing to terrorism.

Watch One Nation leader Pauline Hanson get shut down by the head of ASIO over her questions about Islam, Muslims and terrorism.
VIDEO: Hanson shut down



...
Despite the growing threat of Islamist extremism, Australian Security Intelligence Organisation boss Duncan Lewis indicated there was no evidence to substantiate several of the minor party leader's claims.

Senator Hanson asked the ASIO director-general whether he believed the terrorist threat was "being brought in" courtesy of Middle Eastern refugees.

"I have absolutely no evidence to suggest there's a connection between refugees and terrorism," Mr Lewis replied.

There was also "no evidence" to suggest children born to refugees in Australia were more likely to convert to radical Islam, Mr Lewis said.

He indicated to Senator Hanson that ASIO did not have security concerns about Muslim women wearing the full burqa.

"We've made it plain on a number of occasions, senator, that we have no security reason to be concerned about the wearing of a burqa - other than the requirement for individuals to identify themselves to authorities, and there are regulations in place for that," Mr Lewis said.

Senator Hanson began the late-night Senate estimates hearing exchange by asking the ASIO chief whether all the perpetrators of four terrorist attacks, and 12 thwarted attacks, in Australia since 2014 were Muslim.

Mr Lewis indicated one of the 12 foiled attacks "involved a right-wing extremist". "So the answer is no, they have not all been carried out by Muslims," he said.

"But I've got to stress, senator – this is very important – ASIO does not make its inquiries or its assessments on the basis of somebody's religion.

"We are only interested in people who are exhibiting or offering violence, and to the extent that there is violent extremism – which is very frequently inspired by a warped version of Sunni Islam – that's when our interests are invoked."

The One Nation leader has been a strident critic of Islam and has called for a ban on Muslim people immigrating to Australia - a position rejected by one of her own party colleagues this week.

Moments before her interrogation of Mr Lewis on Thursday night, Senator Hanson posted to Facebook: "Remember, there is only one religion across the globe blowing children up and cutting off infidels heads [sic]. That's Islam."

Fairfax Media has asked Senator Hanson whether Mr Lewis' testimony had altered her views, but has not yet received a response.

Mr Lewis made clear the overall security environment was "worsening", and said ASIO was dealing with an "unprecedented caseload" in both volume and gravity.

The threat to Australia would persist despite the weakening of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, he said.

"We assess that well beyond the physical existence of this so-called caliphate, the threat of terrorism and the threat of a terrorist attack against Australians and Australian interests will continue," Mr Lewis said.

"So this is not the end, it's not the beginning of the end, it's more like the end of the beginning. We don't see this finishing any time soon."

Wonder where Pauline stands on ADANI the employment and growth solution for Nth Qld ?

She's right behind it subject to a few clarifications and Rockhampton adores her as a folk hero.




Standing ovation for Pauline Hanson in Rockhampton
Amber Hooker | 16th Sep 2016 9:16 PM Updated: 17th Sep 2016 8:37 AM

.... Amber Hooker

A STANDING ovation greeted controversial One Nation senator Pauline Hanson last night as she took her place among a 200-plus crowd of some her strongest Rockhampton supporters.

The reception was reminiscent of the response to Ms Hanson's maiden speech the Senate on Wednesday night, which featured strongly in her address at Rockhampton Showgrounds' Robert Schwarten Pavilion.

Unwavering over her claims Australia was at risk of being "swamped by Muslims", and that family law needed an overhaul as women's "frivolous claims" would mean we "continue to see murders out of sheer frustration", Ms Hanson said she would stand by her statements which were "based on facts".

The rally and Pauline's presence in Central Queensland was at the invite of vocal Rockhampton businessman Dominic Doblo, who said his key concerns were immigration and jobs in the region.

Touted as the LNP's number-one supporter throughout the Federal Election campaign only months ago, Mr Doblo denounced his backing and stated, "bugger the LNP, they don't want to do nothing... next election her (Pauline's) party will hold the balance of power" before passing the microphone to Ms Hanson.

After sharing her two-decade-long desire to land her Senate seat, Ms Hanson did go on to sprook her plans for Rockhampton and greater Central Queensland.

Her vision for Australia to become a "food bowl" filtered locally to a vision that rural areas be able to drought-proof themselves by building major water infrastructure.

"I want a strong united society, a country," Ms Hanson said.

"I want us to be the food bowl of the world, that we grow the food, they come to us and they buy it.

"Here you are the Beef Capital of the world, but at present, because of the droughts, the farmers have had to sell their prime stock; what we need here to is to drought-proof ourselves, that's what we need.

"We need dams, we need water, we need to be able to provide the water to the farming sector. Why won't they build the dams, why wont they build the infrastructure?"

Ms Hanson went on to claim the Federal Government had privatized water following the 1992 Earth Summit.

During her speech she made a point to denounce "international control" of food, products and water, but Ms Hanson threw her support behind the proposed Carmichael Adani Mine which she believes "should go ahead".

Though, her concerns reigned back to water usage while sharing her disbelief that the mine, rail and port would have an impact on the Great Barrier Reef from climate change and ocean acidification.

"When they say it (the mine) shouldn't go ahead because of the impact it will have on the Great Barrier Reef, I find that hard to believe," Ms Hanson said.

...

"I believe I will be looking at that further and where they make that statement, but I spoke to (Deputy Prime Minister) Barnaby Joyce about it because I've got concern about the water that they will use, and it is a very good point - because if farmers cant get water that they need - you think to yourself why should we allow the Adani mine to go ahead and utilise the water?"

With job creation featuring strongly in the crowd's concerns, Ms Hanson said she had seen regional areas become "ghost towns", with people chasing jobs in city centers.

Her solution was a centralization of Government jobs to rural areas, and to back another contensious development.

"I have been pushing for Great Keppel Island resort to go ahead... it will create 1500 jobs, and I believe that's what the region needs, it needs tourism in this area," she said to a roar of applause."

So she's playing the race card and promising to fix everything yet she has no actual plan on how to do so.  If Americans are stupid enough to fall for that I don't see why my fellow QLDers to the north can resist, especially the fear mongering around muslims.

If she fails in North Queensland she's not go a hope on a national scale, especially from those who will take into account what stances she's taken and who she has supported since getting back in the Senate, not just the pie in the sky claims she keeps making.

I don't know enough about North Queensland politics, but PHON will have a fair chance in Bundaberg and perhaps one or two seats on the Sunshine Coast.  Jarrod Bleijie (LNP) stinks in Kawana, and Mark McArdle (LNP) could not care less any more.  I doubt Steve Dickson (former LNP and now the only PHON) will retain Buderim which will go back to the Libs.

The UK's PM has released the army onto the streets of Britain.

The Australian budget for funding our various security agencies and for housing our Muslim terrorists in prisons is astronomical.

We're told by our national leaders down there in Canberra that it's intelligent to fear going to the sort of venues and occasions where a Muslim might set off a bomb.

We have hundreds of young men and women from our Muslim Community who rallied to the cause of actively supporting fundamentalist Islam in Iraq and Syria.

But then a sad sack like you thinks it's appropriate to sheet home the blame to Pauline Hanson for the public believing that if a bomb goes off among us it'll probably be the handiwork of someone from our Muslim Community.i

LH,

Only time will tell when the Qld election happens.

The next Queensland state election is scheduled to be held on or before 5 May 2018 to elect all 93 members to the unicameral Legislative Assembly of Queensland. The first-term incumbent Labor government, currently led by Premier of Queensland Annastacia Palaszczuk, will attempt to win a 2nd term and will be challenged by the Liberal National opposition, currently led by Opposition Leader Tim Nicholls.

Following the 2015 election outcome, Labor formed a minority government in the hung parliament with confidence and supply support from the crossbench, while retaining the right to otherwise vote on conscience, from independent MP Peter Wellington. During the parliamentary term, both Labor-turned-independent MPs Billy Gordon and Rob Pyne indicated their ongoing support.

Successful amendments to the electoral act through legislation and a referendum in early 2016 include adding an additional four parliamentary seats from 89 to 93, changing from optional preferential voting to full-preferential voting, and moving from unfixed three-year terms to fixed four-year terms. However, fixed four-year terms will not take effect until after this election.


Now how will Pauline go ?


Which Queensland state seats could Pauline Hanson's One Nation win?
By Matt Martino Updated 2 Dec 2016, 2:48pm

...
Photo: One Nation Senators drink champagne outside Parliament House. Could One Nation one day hold the balance of power in Queensland? (ABC News: Ross Nerdal)

The rise of Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party in Queensland has given state politicians cause for concern.

In the July federal election, the right-wing, anti-immigration party polled 5.52 per cent of the Queensland vote in the House of Representatives, despite fielding candidates in only 12 of 30 electorates, and 9.19 per cent of the vote in the Senate.

The Liberal National Party in Queensland is clearly rattled by these results, with fears that One Nation could take up to 11 seats. A recent Newspoll showed the party's support in the state has almost doubled to 10 per cent.

So which state seats are vulnerable to a One Nation takeover? We've analysed polling booth data from the federal election to find out.

Terror attacks and Aboriginal calls for a treaty will sure up support for One Nation.

I hate to say it, but Australia has caught a lot of terror attacks and prevented them.

We cant keep being that lucky.

And we must look like real attractive targets the longer we go without an attack. (Monis was just a loon not counting him.)

ON may self destruct.
But Duncan Lewis is a liar and the LW Prog media are using every lie they can to hurt the party and Hanson.

Quote:
ASIO boss sparks row over refugees
The Australian
12:00AM May 27, 2017
Ean Higgins
Reporter
Sydney

ASIO director-general Duncan Lewis has declined to elaborate on his claim that there is “absolutely no evidence” of a link between Australia’s refugee intake and ­terrorism, despite multiple Islamic terrorist acts in the past three years involving individuals on ­humanitarian visas, or their children.

One Nation seized on Mr Lewis’s comments, with Queensland senator Malcolm Roberts tweeting:
“If ASIO can’t see a link between refugees and terrorism we are in far greater danger than I thought.”


Labor MP Anne Aly, an Islamic radicalisation expert, supported Mr Lewis, while Philip Ruddock, a former Liberal immigration minister and attorney-general, said while one could not ignore the issue, “simply to blame all refugees is over-simplistic”.

On Thursday, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson grilled Mr Lewis, a former special forces commander, in a Senate estimates hearing about Islam, radicalisation, refugees and terrorism.

She first asked Mr Lewis if he could confirm that the four terrorist attacks and the 12 foiled on Australian soil were “committed by Muslims”.

Mr Lewis replied: “Certainly of the 12 thwarted attacks, one of those indeed involved a right-wing extremist, so, the answer is ‘no’, they have not always been carried out by Muslims.”

During the exchanges, the ASIO chief said: “We’re not interested in religion. We are interested in whether an individual is exhibiting or practising violence.”

Senator Hanson then asked: “Do you believe that the threat is being brought in possibly from Middle Eastern refugees that are coming out to Australia?”

Mr Lewis replied: “I have abso­lutely no evidence to suggest there is a connection between refugees and terrorism.”

Islamic State-inspired gunman Man Haron Monis, who took hostages and killed one of them during the Lindt cafe siege in 2014, came to Australia on a business visa before successfully applying for asylum.

Abdul Numan Haider, the Melbourne 18-year-old killed after attacking police with a knife three months earlier, was an Afghan-born Australian citizen whose family arrived as refugees.

Farhad Jabar, the 15-year-old jihadist who killed NSW police civilian accountant Curtis Cheng in Sydney in 2015 was an Iranian-born Australian citizen of Kurdish-Iraqi background whose family came as refugees.

At least a dozen other first or second-generation Muslim ­mi­grants have been convicted of terror-related charges.


Senator Roberts last night told The Weekend Australian: “We see a lot of terrorism around the world from refugees who have come in particularly from Islamic countries. Most people so far have hidden the obvious correlation between Islam and terrorism and refused to discuss it.

“We’re stunned that ASIO doesn’t do that, and that the Australian Federal Police doesn’t.”

Mr Lewis declined to answer questions requesting he expand on his statements in Senate estimates. He has previously sparked controversy for what some conservative Coalition MPs saw as an effort to play down the threat of ­Islamic radicalisation.

In 2015, The Australian revealed Mr Lewis had telephoned MPs publicly critical of attitudes within the Australian Muslim community, asking them to use the “soothing language favoured by Malcolm Turnbull in their public discussion of Islam”.

Speaking from Liberia last night, Mr Ruddock said it would be unrealistic to say immigration and refugee questions “play no role in relation to trying to resolve difficult issues”, but he said “integrity in selection is always of the ­utmost importance. Some of the people you cite were never refugees and deceived us in relation in to their entitlements.

“Monis was never a refugee. He clearly had difficult psychological problems.”

Mr Ruddock noted many of those who had committed ­Islamic-inspired terrorism here had been born in Australia, and said the question was “why have we failed to pass on our values”, particularly respecting the law.
MULTICULTI...


Dr Aly said: “I think Duncan Lewis knows more than Pauline Hanson, and if Duncan Lewis is saying that, we should be paying attention to him.”

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton declined to comment.

Again with the “left wing media” this time with roach’s favorite cussword “progressive.”

What media in this country is left wing?

Independent Australia?

Crikey?

You can safely assume that “left wing media” is any media that does not 110% back the Libs. That assumption is even surer when it is roach saying it.

So, you think the same tired old Islamophobia is worth looking at, time after time that it is posted?  Really?   No one died and made me king of anything, I just have the good taste to be able to identify crap when I see it.  Tsk, tsk.    Roll Eyes

I'll give you the fact that, as what somewhat ironically pointed out, hypocritically I have not yet bothered to check the "facts" that were posted here, but I should before I offer any further contribution.

I've thus far supported nor denied anything (other than judging Hansen by her long and well documented past) and I'll keep my trap shut until I've had a chance to read over everything.

Latest Essential has PHON on 5%, Greens on 11%.

I think Greens will be back to 10% next week, not sure if PHON will get back to the giddy heights of 6%.

Who is the fringe group, roach?

The acid test for Pauline will be the Qld state election where she is a folk hero.





This is due to Queensland's long and proud association with political corruption - or the Bjelke-Petrson syndrome as it is more commonly known




However ... in the most RECENT polling

Queensland Galaxy: 52-48 to Labor as One Nation slumps
April 30, 2017 12.48pm AEST •Updated May 1, 2017 9.56am AEST


A Queensland Galaxy poll has Labor leading by 52-48, a one point gain for Labor since early February. Primary votes are 36% for Labor (up 5), 34% for the Liberal Nationals (up 1), 17% for One Nation (down 6) and 7% for the Greens (down 1).

Given the large increase in Labor’s primary vote, the one point gain after preferences is low, probably due to rounding. This poll was conducted Wednesday and Thursday from a sample of 850. The next Queensland election is due by early next year.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s ratings are 47% approve (up 6) and 35% disapprove (down 2), for a net approval of +12, up eight points. Opposition leader Tim Nicholls has a net rating of -18, down six points. Palaszczuk’s performance during Cyclone Debbie and associated floods was rated good or very good by 76%, and poor by just 16%.

Polling and election results from Australia and Europe indicate that support for far right parties has fallen since Donald Trump became US President.

One Nation, Geert Wilders’ Party of Freedom and Marine Le Pen all underperformed polls taken a month before the election at the WA election, Dutch election and French election first round respectively.

French polling has Macron thumping Le Pen in the runoff, and UK polling has the UK Independence Party (UKIP) slumping into single figures.
