Welcome back Pauline.

I read that failed pollie, Pauline Hanson is to (re)settle in Australia, having disowned her birth country just a few months ago proposing to live in England instead. "I love England but so many people want to leave there because it's overrun with immigrants and refugees," Ms Hanson said on return.

Further she has not ruled out another tilt at politics. Why would she? I used the term ‘failed Pollie’ very loosely because, while not elected in 2007 to the Senate in Queensland, she did collect $213 095.49 in Public Funding from The Australian Electoral Commission for her token effort. Not a bad little earner. All she has to do is keep her public profile up and she can probably do it over and over.

Let’s see, how could she do that? How about appear on a popular TV show, announce she’s moving overseas and then come back, propose rejoining the Liberal Party (as if they’d have her). In short, anything to keep the brand “Pauline” active. Anything that is except come up with an original idea of any political substance.

There must be a still mostly white, Anglo Saxon, conservative country out there somewhere a la Australia 1950. Somebody find one for her please. No matter that it’s probably as dull, boring and backward as Australia was before we discovered the economic, cultural and social advantages of multiculturalism based on tolerance and understanding.

Welcome back Pauline.
