Pauline, Pauline

With the final day of classes tomorrow, we conclude the course on Australian history with the recent controversies surrounding one miss Pauline Hanson.

For anyone unfamiliar with her career in politics, here's a very brief rundown:
Hanson created the One Nation Party, which was established as a corporation and run by the company/party directors instead of through democratic process. She was elected to office and gave a speech including racist statements on the threat that Australia would be "swamped by Asians." There was a significant amount of public support and protest after her election, and Hanson was one of the main figures in the Australian media between 1996 and 1998. Later, she was convicted of election fraud. And recently she's remained in the spotlight on "Dancing with the Stars" and back in the political sphere in '07 when she trying to launch yet another new party.
