Former One Nation leader jailed for electoral fraud
fDing Dong, the witch is dead
Oh, happy day. Former One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has been jailed for 3 years for electoral fraud. If you’re not familiar with her, and I sincerely hope you aren’t because I tried my best to ignore her moronic, xenophobic, right-wing ravings throughout the years and shuddered whenever I considered any embarassing international exposure she might have attracted, she rose from political obscurity as a back-Edocher in the Liberal Party when she gave a speech in the lower house in 1996 regarding the danger of Australia “being swamped by Asians.” After the controversy which followed, and which led to members of the Coalition distancing themselves from her, she split and became an independent, attracting a cult following amongst misfits, racists and rednecks everywhere, which led her to create her own party (One Nation). Much to the horror of all sensible people such as myself, she managed to gain a huge swing and earned several Federal seats in the upper and lower houses. Thankfully, her support started to wane throughout the years as people seemed to regain hold of their common sense and saw just how idiotic her shallow little ideologies were, and she eventually lost her own Senate seat in the last Federal election. Now this, the official nadir of her fall from grace. The general consensus has been that the punishment was exceptionall harsh, but I honestly won’t be losing any sleep thinking about her in drab prison clothes, sitting alone in a tiny cell. I even heard people ringing up call-back radio and labeling her a political prisoner, saying that defrauding the state for half a million dollars doesn’t matter because she eventually paid it all back, and comparing her to Nelson Mandela.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*ahem* Anyway, just goes to show the type of support she attracts. Finished with you, you racist little worm. Wallow in the shithole you’ve created, and when you finally get kicked out back into the world, go back to your fish and chip shop with the shower of bastards who blindly follow your every word and keep your racist, fascist, bigoted prejudices in the warped little specks you call brains. *wipes memory banks*
Speaking of call-back radio, I was listening to the AM station I always listen to on the way to and from Uni, and the presenter stopped what he was talking about, seeming confused, and explained that an unusual and unexpected call had just come in from a famous American celebrity. I thought it would be Guiliani, since he’s currently in town making plenty of scratch on the public speaking circuit like Bill Clinton a few years back, but he introduced Arnold Schwarzenegger. His voice, mannerisms and accent were very convincing, but the presenter was just as skeptical as I was, but decided to go along with it, saying what a pleasure it was to talk to him, etc etc. “Arnold” was very polite, and explained how much he loved Australia, and he wanted to get some listener’s opinions regarding his campaign to become California governer. After a few minutes of pleasant back and forthing, the presenter asked how old he was, to which the caller replied that he had just recently turned 56, and the presenter complimented him on his health and appearance, and casually asked him when his birthday was. The caller hesitated, and dodged the question, saying that it was a pretty meaningless question, and he wanted to talk about important political issues. The presenter persisted, saying that he merely wanted to compare his own birthday, but he continued to refuse to answer. Eventually, “Arnold” pretended to lose his patience, saying how wasteful it was to ask such meaningless questions when he was giving the radio station some of his precious time to discuss major international issues, to which the presenter complimented him on being such a convincing fake, to which “Arnold” angrily asked for his agent and hung up. The presenter joked about it for a while, then went to ads, and, acting on a hunch, I switched over to the major rival AM station, and sure enough, there he was, discussing his policies to a humbled presenter who obsequiously went along with everything he said. After thanking him profusely for his time, the presenter revealed that he was “honoured” to have the “exclusive” interview, and that the station had been trying to organise some of his time for weeks. HAHAHAHA!!!!
Gullible bastard. Later on, 2UE followed up on the hoax, saying that they had tracked the prank caller to a Los Angeles FM station, where a comedian had been ringing around overseas as a joke. It was pretty amusing, but if you happen to hear the little skit on American radio, bear in mind that we’re not ALL so naive.
