I think we will have to agree to disagree on Senator Bob(down)Brown. I really fear for industrial relations in the next four years.

You all make it sound like it's the end of the World.

Since you Aussies have mentioned this a lot, who is Pauline Hanson and this one-nation party?

Isn't One Nation a far right party?

Like any of these crackpots, they briefy flirt with popularity then fall hard. She timed her brief rise to coincide with a lot of attempts at illegal migration. One herself at one stage about 5 to 8% of the popular vote. The party had a couple of representatives at state level and 2 I think at a national level, but now to many people's relief that seems to be all over.

Although, after her release from prison, it appears that she has spoken of her intention to return to politics. Can't wait to see the crap she talks about next time round.

I suspect her 'return to politics' was actually a way of making money - she did absolutely no advertising, admitted she had no policies, and only nominated a couple of weeks before the election (on the day nominations closed). And, frankly, why not? There's always going to be enough tragics to give her her 4% (she got 4.4% apparently). I feel a bit sorry for Pauline, really, when you look at how Howard and the gang despised her and put her last on their preferences and all, and yet are embracing Family First - who seem to me to be just as whacko as she ever was.
