What!!
I have just now heard on the news that our "One Nation" political leader, Pauline Hanson, wants to make us a "whites only" country and wants to begin mass deportations of illegal citizens in the same manner as that of the US president, lower case "p" because in my opinion he doesn't deserve that title.
She also wants our Health Care and Pharmaceutical companies to follow the American model!!
She thinks Trump is a great leader, so I say, go and live there!
I wondered what her policies would be, probably more moderate than how she speaks, but no. A whole lot worse. I heard a while ago that most of our 'illegals' are from Great Britain, who have just overstayed their visas. And they didn't come by boats.
ReplyDeleteI truly, truly hope she doesn't get what she wants.
DeleteTudo isso parece incrível e esse presidentinho só faz aumentar a desunião em todos os sentidos!AFFF! beijos, chica
ReplyDeletechica; I can't help wondering what things would be like if he HAD NOT become president. Not having him to copy from, would this woman still want what she is saying? Probably since that is what she has always said, but maybe not so forcefully?
DeleteEvery Australian, apart from First Nation people, migrated from somewhere else. Even if some people _were_ born here, their parents and grandparents came from abroad hoping for a peaceful and safe life.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is packing his suitcase now :(
hels; and it is the same the world over. There isn't a country anywhere that doesn't have immigrants from everywhere else. People who arrived as babies here, and were naturalised along with their parents, should we worry? Will she begin deporting any she sees as a threat to "white Australia" as Trump is doing via ICE in the US?Just how much say does she have in Parliament anyway?
DeleteEm quedo sense paraules!!! 😤
ReplyDeletePaula; me too, and angry and afraid.
DeleteEs increíble, no hay palabras. Un abrazo
ReplyDeleteNuria de Espinosa; there are plenty of words but I am too polite to say them.
DeleteBack to the White Australia policy. I trust it won't fly.
ReplyDeleteBoud; If she remembers the original Australians weren't white, so a "White Australia" is the abnormality here.
DeleteThe extremist right is a menace in every western country. Sorry to hear that Australia is not immune to that blight as well.
ReplyDeleteDebra She Who Seeks; for a long time the threat was muted, but this woman got onto our ballot papers at the last election earlier this year and now she is making larger waves than previously as she follows trump's money and power values.
DeleteMy heart aches for our world.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; mine too 😢💔
DeleteFunny (or maybe not), I just read that the Australian aboriginals form the most ancient continuous human civilisation.
ReplyDeleteGuillaume; that is true and I find it insulting that they were thought of as "lesser" and not allowed voting rights until late last century. As a child I had aboriginal friends and played with them at the beach, though there weren't any in schools until I got to High School, then there were two girls for about half a year.
DeleteOh and side note, if Nigel Farage ever becomes PM here in the UK, I'm going back to Québec and bringing my British wife and child with me.
ReplyDeleteGuillaume; that could be a wise move, but wait and see.
