Pauline Hanson's One Nation party in Australia has just become the highest polling political party. This is a meteoric rise. They could become the government at the next election.

Australia's One Nation Victory
While we were all studying the astounding victories of Reform and the Greens in the UK, Australia was having its own moment, leaving the plantation and voting in its first One Nation member to the federal House of Representatives. One Nation, under the leadership of its mercurial leader, Pauline Hanson, these days polls highly, often in second place. They're fast displacing the right-of-centre Liberal Party.
Pauline Hanson is an interesting figure. Personally, I cannot stand her voice, so I rarely listen to her. But she has stuck at it, never giving up. Finally, off the back of her own decades-long efforts, the party she created is getting traction. They're now a real force. They could become the government of Australia.

One Nation’s surge can no longer be seen as a blip or an aberration.
As the results in the Farrer byelection showed, the right-wing populist party – which has been hovering on the fringes of Australian politics for 30 years – is now a serious electoral force.
While the byelection was considered likely to be a close contest between One Nation’s David Farley and independent Michelle Milthorpe, in the end voters delivered an easy win to Farley. His is the first One Nation victory in a federal House of Representatives seat.

Australia Needs To Wake Up
The land of the racist xenophobes, otherwise known as Australia, home to that prize wanker Russell Crowe the New Zealander who pretends to be an Australian, is now calling for immigration restrictions on Kiwis.
Admittedly the call comes from the loony One Nation party so it can't be taken too seriously. This is the party founded by former fish and chip shop owner Pauline Hanson. But my guess is many Australians share the same opinions as One Nation. If there's a racist bandwagon to be on, then Australians queue up for more. They're completely equal opportunity racists.
What smarts is these One Nation people think New Zealand should be taught a lesson over its UN Security Council vote which effectively sanctioned Israel (the US wisely abstained). No-one should be surprised by the Australian reaction as one racist generally backs another and here we have yet another example. You just know that Australians really want to drown all those refugees on their flimsy boats fleeing persecution; not take them to Nauru (come on they should all be rehoused in the Australian suburbs, the food would improve and Australia would get some work done ).

Maybe Australians should get out a map and check where they are on the globe. The last time I checked they were surrounded by enemies and people who hate them, with their one friend being little old New Zealand, sitting neatly at their back door. Get New Zealand offside and they're completely surrounded. True, given its small population and large landmass it is only time before Australia is overrun by more enterprising and interesting cultures, but it should at least realise this fact and do something to stem the tide. But no, they want to piss off their only friend and support a monstrous regime in Israel.
