she is
a thing of darkness we acknowledge ours
she is a pure kind of monster of the id as in that wind that keeps howling in
the background on forbidden planet
and she is as such the perfect anti-politician
because she's not smart enough to play any tricks
... except things are never so simple
there is a tradition along these lines in queensland because the state was run
for a long time by character named jo bjelke petersen who meets a lot of this
description
...what i've always wanted to ask pauline is this ...
if you put her on a quarter acre with a family from Hong Kong on one side and
let's for argument's sake say her nice white ancestors circa 1860 on the other
from whom woulod she borrow the cup of sugar?

Subject: Re: Aboriginal-led recovery
I've seen Pauline Hanson on TV reports over here. She doesn't seem very
bright so one assumes she's just a figurehead for more powerful, murkier
forces - any Oz members care to elaborate on who they might be, if my
assumptions correct?
cheers
