To whom this may concern,

Just a quick note about 60 Minutes, like any other reporters when they don't have any news to report they make it up, just like sundays 60 minutes interview with Pauline, I have a personal friend who had there career wrecked by a 60 minutes interview, and my friend was also told that it would be a good interview, but what did they do? they edited the interview and made him look really bad, but hey what more can you expect from such a cheap show.

I saw the 60 minutes show and althuogh bised towards the journalists personal pioint of view it is only what should be expected from the apologists and feelgooders who masquerade as presenters of truth and fact.

Cynically perhaps however their main concerns, as are those who One Nation is seeking to denounce, is their own highly paid positions as purveyors of infotainment; directed by Packer et al who are ultimately answerable to the vendors of Coke, Chips and Tampons : those who actually pay for the shows.

Until the journalists wake up to the fact that MANY, MANY Australians are tired of political correctness and want to live a decent life here in GODS-OWN without feeling that they are somehow at fault for the innumerable unpleasant things that have happened through the course of our albeit short history.

Keep up the good work Pauline, Australia is behind you.

Any red headed, white, well-off Australian can claim to know what to be disadvantaged is, can even claim to be so themselves. But has Pauline Hanson ever experienced less than a white upbringing in a predominantly white country? She says she is from "the school of hard knocks" - which to me, taking into into account the figures of unemployment, of life expectancy, of disease for indigenous Australians - is an utter joke. Fair enough, racial minorities receive allowances and schemes, benefits which do not always apply to whites, for example. But isn't the reason for this (funnily enough) because they need them? Only when all races are as advantaged as the next; only then can one take away benefits - this is but mere logic. Looking past racism, if nothing, there is factual evidence to prove that if living conditions and disease are anything to go by, Aborigines are disadvantaged in comparison to whites.

What Hanson is asking is ridiculous - to ask for 'One Nation', where above all, every race considers themselves as Australian, regardless of their rich cultures and religions. Immigrants do not come to Australia because they wish to feed off the whites, to live off their prosperity. They come because Australia allows them to enter, and because they hope for a comfortable life, and to be prosperous in their own rights. Is it fair to strip people of such innocent intent of what makes them different? To force them to conform...diversity is something to be proud of.

Finally, a slight critisism on your page - the fact that an entire section of it is devoted to photographs of protestors and text including references such as "grinning hooligan" and "goons" show what pathetic levels you have had to stoop to to create a basis for your argument. To take this protest as a shocking thing is rather naive..put any group of young people together, whether white, Aboriginal or otherwise, and they will cause a scene. It happens all the time. Are we supposed to feel pity, or pride in heroic Pauline Hanson and her supporters as they braved their way through the "cannibal" Aborigines? The fact that Hanson and her merry bunch could walk into the hall in utter seriousness and with dignity with such absolutely ignorant views is more embarrassing and shameful than the pictures of youths protesting.

I do not claim to have a vast understanding of hardship, I am well off and ultimately but 15 years of age- but I do have the insight and sense to deduce the seemingly obvious - racial minorities are not often seen to be advantaged, and are certainly not more advantaged in Australia.

RE: 60 Minutes fax from Executive Producer & other issues

The fax from the EP seems to me to be quite neutral, in fact - if Pauline Hanson and her supporters had any sense they would know by now that the media are only after discrediting pieces, not supportive ones! I can't believe that she can be so naive not to see this - didn't she learn from her first 60 Minutes interview? The questions were all traps and she tripped into each and every one of them, strengthening the argument that she is quite stupid - if she doesn't want to be portrayed in this manner, SHE SHOULD STOP GIVING THEM THE AMMUNITION! She's not going to get any positivy from the media - she should accept it! And the reason she's not going to get it is because she has nothing positive to say!

BTW, I am a little confused as to which song you are referring to when you said everyone sang the "We are one, but we are many..." song. Is it the Seekers' song? The one about (my interpretation at least) multiculturalism? It is a great song but from my perspective it is about living together in harmony even though we are all from different parts of the world - living in harmony is about being tolerant and peaceful - One Nation, on the other hand is about stamping out all cultures other than that of the beer-swilling, pie-eating, footy-loving, Aussie - God bless 'em, I'm one of 'em. However, the great thing about living in Australia is it's rich cultural diversity - I love, for example, sitting on a train and seeing many and varied faces looking back at me - one from Africa, one from Japan, one from Vietnam, one from Greece, one from Italy, one from Croatia, one from Ireland and one from Australia - indigenous Australia, that is. It gives me a sense of belonging to a country without prejudice - how can Pauline say that people from other countries have given this country nothing in return??

Also, I am not University educated (only Year 11, I'm afraid) I was brought up on a farm where I had to chop wood and round up sheep, my parents always struggled for money and I don't like being lumped in a pigeon hole labelled "FERAL, DIRTY, INNER-CITY-DWELLING, VEGO-COMMO-LEZZO UNI STUDENT" I am, by all accounts, part of your "Mainstream Australia" but this little mainstreamer, thankfully, does not swim in your waters.

Yours sincerely

P.S. Sorry, no four letter words to whinge about!
