Flip flop Hanson
Jun 27^th, 2018 at 3:22pm

Link.

Quote:

Monday, 7:30am

Pauline Hanson says her party will not support company tax cuts unless the Coalition takes action on multinational tax avoidance, among other things.

"I understand they need another four votes, they haven't got One Nation, and I give the people my guarantee that, unless they really target multinationals, it's so important to me, we need to have a revenue stream come into the country."

Tuesday, 5:15pm

After leaving the door open on the prospect of supporting the cuts, Pauline Hanson slams it shut in the Senate.

"One Nation will not be supporting company tax cuts. So I haven't flip-flopped, I said no originally, then I said yes, then I have said no and I've stuck to it."

Wednesday, 7:25am

Less than a day later, Pauline Hanson appears to soften her stance on Channel Nine's Today Show, indicating she is open to negotiations.

When asked where she stands, Senator Hanson replies: "I've made my point really clear about this."

Senator Hanson says she wants multinationals to pay more tax, and told Finance Minister Matthias Cormann as much during a meeting on Tuesday night.

"It doesn't mean to say I'm going to back their corporate tax cuts, what I'm saying to him is start doing something about the multinationals in Australia not paying their taxes," she says.

And if Pauline Hanson wants to flip-flop, she will.

"In the chamber today again [Labor's] used flip-flopping, that's my prerogative! And I will change my mind as many times as I want to, to ensure I come up with the right decision."

Wednesday, 7:30am

Pauline Hanson tells reporters in a Parliament House corridor "Minister Cormann has not got me over the line" on the company tax cuts.

She is then asked if she can understand why people are saying she has flip-flopped.

"I'm not going to apologise to anyone for that," she says.

"That's not a bad thing to do. If you get better information, you want things for the country — why not? It's about what's right for the country."

Wednesday, 9:10am

Less than two hours later, Pauline Hanson does change her mind — again.

She tells Melbourne radio station 3AW One Nation has settled its position.

"We have come to a firm decision, we are not supporting the corporate tax cuts. It's not changing. I've sent a message to Minister Cormann this morning, so anyway, he knows."

And so do we. For now at least.
What next?

Senator Hanson says she will let the Government take the policy to the next election and allow the public to decide.

Until then, she's offered a suggestion to help the Coalition get the cuts through the Senate.

"I suggest Cormann go and knock on the door of Labor or the Greens and see if they can get them over the line."

Woman is just bizarre, and ought to just shut up. We never hear from any other Senator about all this argy bargy/wheeling and dealing....just this one.

Complete? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration. She's no Einstein, but how many politicians thesedays are?

Of course there is schmedia interest as they know they will get something stupid out of her every time. Fills the column inches easily and journo takes the rest of the day off.

From her perspective, she should just shut up. She won't. She is a bigger media tart than Beattie ever was. Difference is, he occasionally made sense.

Well, when you put it that way, Greggery, by your own personal definition of the word kind I am sure that I write on behalf of the complete nincompoops of Australia that we are thankful for your kind words. Wink

You're welcome.

In all seriousness, I've conversed with primary school children who are smarter than Hanson.

She's a lot like Trump: she's knows next to nothing about almost everything.

Aww c'mon now Greg'. Do you want me to write a list for you? I'd rather not because they're mostly female, and I am not wanting to be labelled as a misogynist about the truth. It's all out there in the media already, who the dunderheads in Canberra are.

Pauline is just one of them. She is not there for her brains, nor her looks. She is there for the devout patriotic Australians that she represents, as ineffectively as she might go about doing it.

How patriotic are you, Greggerry?

i recon she is asking for something the Coalition will not agree too....Possibly some ban on immigration from certain types or a ban on certain foreign head wear....Pauline Hanson is playing the Government because she can....Hanson is holding the pen the coalition need to get their tax cuts through and has every right to ensure she gets what her supporters want???

Huh

Hanson unfortunately does not recognise the difference between "patriotism" and "jingoism", just as you don't.

As to whom she represents, I doubt even she knows. Roll Eyes

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes
