Reasons for supporting Pauline Hanson - a desire to assist in the process of restoring pride in Australia, which is the best country in the world to live in. Desire to see Australians fulfilling their own potential, whatever their race or background, before sending assets and energies overseas. Australia is the heritage of all its people, not just one group, and quality of life will improve for all when resources are utilised to enable all to develop first themselves and then the country as a result. Once Australia is again profitable and fully employed, we will be able to assist and advise others less fortunate - at present we are giving to others from assets we do not possess ourselves.
Pauline Hanson has touched the nerve which has begun the process of facing up to the facts of life in Australia, a process which will result in return to honesty in government and in interpersonal dealings at all levels.
