    I think she is only doing it because there is a good chance she will get a few quid out of it.

    What about Bob "Ten Gallon Hat" Katter and Clive "Ten Gallon Gut" Palmer?

    This election should be a hoot!

    Was there something in her speech that she lied about? NO. Maybe some people have heard lies so often, that they don't recognise the truth when they hear it anymore - pity.

    I don't see any valid reason why any Australia would not want to protect or look after another Australian first. Any other proposal would be an act of treason against this country.

    I don't like her politics, but admire her courage.

    I don't see anything significantly wrong with her policies in wanting to protect and help Australian first. Isn't that what we all do within our own family units - help and protect our families before anyone else?

    Well at least by comparison she makes me feel better about the prospect of PM Tony.

    When you bluster so much your words lose all meaning.

    Did Pauline lie about anything in her speech? NO.

    Everything she said is happening and is correct.

    She suggested that Australians start using their resources to help Australians before others. Is there anything wrong with that suggestion? NO

    Don’t we use the same philosophy Pauline is suggesting within our own families - we help family before anyone else?

    If the above doesn’t help you understand, then I suggest a few English TAFE classes.

    She lied when she said you can trust her considering how many times now has she promised that she won't be running ever again?

    PMSL, the "thinking" of the bots has been programmed to suit the agenda of their controlers.

    You are wasting time. My starement of "but that is no reason to lie about her", didn`t refer to your hyper biased article.

    If anyone with an open unbiased mind read Pauline’s maiden speech, they would recognise that it was 100% correct at the time she read it out.

    The speech instantly became controversial, because for the first time in politics, a politician was actually standing up and telling the Australian people what was happening in their country without tip-toeing around and being politically correct about every wishy-washy issue.

    It scared the hell out of politicians, because their decades of negligence on immigration and lack of concern for the wellbeing of the Australian people over foreign interests was being exposed to the general public for the first time.

    All their back-room games and underhandedness towards the Australian people instantly saw the light of day.

    If the truth now represents racism, then we seriously need to change the terms and meaning of the word racism, because telling the truth should not mean you are racist.

    Does this now mean we have to be deceitful and lie to prove we are not racist?

    From Ray Martin:

    Pauline Hanson has black banned me... no pun intended. She won't talk to me because she believes I'm sympathetic towards the plight of Aboriginal people. Well, I must confess I am.

    Where is his proof that she said that?

    Or is Ray Martins words simply accepted as the word of God these days?

    Everyone just accepted his word over Pauline’s, because Ray has been on TV for years and is Mr. personality - Ray would never lie. Is that really a good enough reason to accept his word over hers without proof?

    Lying about her was a good strategy - she had no way to defend herself. Especially when the pack of media dogs were told to go for her throat. The staggering thing about it all; everything she said was the truth. The media and politicians turned telling the truth into acts of racism.

    If Pauline had of taken her philosophies to Europe at the time she first entered politics, she would have been hugely successfully, because European people want to embrace the truth; whereas, Australians want to hide from it.

    He is expressing his opinion of her attitude toward him - she could have come on a program - any program and stated she was willing to talk to Mr Martin. But what has he really said

    When you selectively quote it is called "cherry picking" and is disingenuous to say the least

    With all due respect, have you even bothered to read Pauline Hanson’s description of events, as to why she refused the interview with Ray Martin?

    Ray Martin (Channel 9) would not agree to giving her a scripted interview. The same respect and privilege that they gave all other politicians that were interviewed.

    They tried to force Pauline into doing a “live” non-scripted interview, and when she refused, Martin lied his head off about the real reason, and claimed she was racist about his views on the plight of Aboriginals.

    I also did not selective quote or “cherry pick” and comment made by Martin.

    Martin made the statement that Pauline refused the interview, because Pauline believed Martin was sympathetic towards the plight of the Aboriginal people.

    I simply asked you if Martin could provided some evidence in the form of a letter, or phone transcript, or did her just tune into the crystal ball reading “madam Zelda” and assume he knew what Pauline was thinking? Martin could not provided any evidence to support his fabrication, so the latter now seems obvious.

    Martin was trying for his glory media moment in a fading career, by attempting to “bash-wack” the woman, and when she didn’t fall for it, he concocted some erroneous tail about her racist opinions to get even.

    How would you have coped being placed in that kind of a situation being a total amateur, and trying to defend yourself against someone with Martin and Channel 9’s journalistic experience?

    I always though Martin was a scum-bag even before his attempted set-up of Pauline, and nothing he did during his career ever changed my mind.
