Early life

Hanson was raised in Woolloongabba, an inner city suburb of Brisbane. Her grandfather was an immigrant from England in 1908. Her father owned a take-away food shop (fish and chip shop). Hanson left school at the age of fifteen after passing, and worked in a variety of clerical and service jobs. She accumulated several rental properties, becoming independently wealthy. She married twice and has four children. In her early political career, she was famous for having owned a fish and chips shop in Ipswich, a city near Brisbane. Woolloongabba is an inner suburb of Brisbane, Australia located 1km south of the Brisbane CBD.

Political background

Hanson was an independent local councillor in the City of Ipswich from 1994 until an early election due to administrative changes in 1995. Narrowly losing her seat, she joined the Liberal Party of Australia and was endorsed as the Liberal Party's candidate for the House of Representatives electorate of Oxley (based in Ipswich) for the March 1996 Federal election. At the time, Oxley was the safest Labor seat in Queensland. // Ipswich is located 40 minutes drive from Brisbane, and 60 minutes from both international air and sea ports. ...

The Division of Oxley is an Australian Electoral Division in Queensland. ...

Just prior to the election, Hanson made comments to The Queensland Times - a daily newspaper in Ipswich - advocating the abolition of special government assistance for Aborigines above what was available for other Australians. These comments led to her disendorsement by the Liberal Party during the campaign. However, ballot papers had already been printed listing Hanson as the Liberal candidate, and the Australian Electoral Commission had closed nominations for the seat. As a result, Hanson was still listed as the Liberal candidate when votes were cast. Australian Aborigines are the main indigenous people of Australia. ...

Hanson subsequently won the election easily, with the largest swing away from the Labor Party in Australia. A large proportion of her support appeared to have come from traditional Labor Party voters.

On 10 September 1996 Hanson gave her first speech to the House of Representatives, which instantly made headlines and television news bulletins across Australia. She warned that Australia was "in danger of being swamped by Asians" due to high immigration, asserting that Asian immigrants "have their own culture and religion, form ghettos and do not assimilate." She also denounced the policy of multiculturalism and the "privileges Aboriginals enjoy over other Australians", advocated the return of high-tariff protectionism and generally decried many other aspects of economic rationalism and what she perceived to be 'political correctness'. ^[2] is the 253rd day of the year (254th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

As a result of her controversial maiden speech, Hanson was briefly catapulted to the forefront of Australian politics, with the Australian population divided on whether Hanson was honest and plainspoken, a far-right nativist, or misinformed and uneducated. Some of Hanson's critics also derided what they saw as her inarticulate style—the very trait that her supporters took to be evidence of her credentials as a speaker 'for the people'. On 13 October 1996, asked by Tracey Curro on 60 Minutes if she was xenophobic She replied "Please explain?", a phrase which has since become a catch phrase in Australia.

One Nation

On the back of her relatively small but loyal supporter base, in April 1997 she founded the One Nation Party with her senior advisor David Oldfield and professional fundraiser David Ettridge. Many of her branch formation meetings and political rallies across Australia in the next two years would attract protests, occasionally spilling over to violence between Hanson supporters and left wing protestors.

"Death" video

In November 1997 Hanson, under suggestion from Oldfield, recorded a video which was to be screened to One Nation members and supporters in the event of her assassination, following claims that she and her daughter had received anonymous death threats. ^[3][4] The 12-minute tape started off with the following message:

Declining popularity

Ever since then, Hanson's popularity has declined. During the campaign for the Federal election of 3 October 1998, she supported a number of policies which alienated much of her support base, such as no increase in pensions for second and subsequent children of single mothers, and replacement of all taxes by a 2% tax on financial transactions (similar to GST). is the 276th day of the year (277th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

She lost her seat in Parliament after an electoral redistribution split Oxley before the 1998 election. She contested the neighbouring Division of Blair and won 36% of the primary vote,^[5]slightly over 10% more than her nearest rival. However, preferences were enough to elect the Liberal Party candidate, Cameron Thompson.^[5] Nationally, One Nation gained 8.99% of the Senate vote [1] and 8.4% of the Representatives vote,^[5] but only one MP was elected - Len Harris as Senator for Queensland. (Heather Hill was originally elected to this position, but the High Court of Australia ruled that although she was an Australian citizen, she was ineligible to sit as a Senator as she had not renounced her childhood British citizenship).

She has accounted for her declining popularity by blaming Prime Minister John Howard for "stealing her policies". Other interrelated factors which have contributed to her downfall include her connection with a series of advisors (John Pasquarelli, David Ettridge and David Oldfield), all of whom she has fallen out with; disputes amongst her supporters, including One Nation's webmaster Scott Balson (who left the movement after a disagreement with Oldfield), and a lawsuit over the organisational structure of One Nation.

Hanson also claimed over the years to have been systematically misrepresented and publicly vilified by the mainstream media. In 1997, Professor David Flint observed: "It was media indulging in its own fantasies, believing its own stories, which turned Ms Hanson into a spectre stalking the land... Her message was presented in some quarters as if it were the voice of Satan. In fact, her views are more moderate than many right-wing parties in Western Europe."^[6] Professor David Flint AM is a prominent Australian legal academic, best known for his controversial tenure as head of the Australian Broadcasting Authority and as one of Australias most prominent and enthusiastic monarchists, in opposition to Australian republicanism. ...

She has been parodied and impersonated by drag queen Pauline Pantsdown, who sampled snippets from Hanson's speeches to create a song called "I'm a Backdoor Man". After Hanson successfully pursued legal action against Pantsdown, Pantsdown used the same technique to create the track "I Don't Like It", a 1998 Top 10 single in Australia.

Fraud conviction and acquittal

On 20 August 2003, a jury convicted Hanson and Ettridge of electoral fraud. Hanson was sentenced to three years imprisonment by the District Court of Queensland for claiming that 500 members of the "Pauline Hanson Support Movement" were members of the political organisation "Pauline Hanson's One Nation", in order to register that organisation as a political party and apply for electoral funding. Because the registration was found to be unlawful, Hanson's receipt of electoral funding worth AUD$498,637 resulted in two further convictions for dishonestly obtaining property.

The case did not escape politicians' notice: Prime Minister John Howard thought it was "a very long, unconditional sentence".

On 6 November 2003, the Queensland Court of Appeal (comprising Chief Justice P de Jersey, Justice MA McMurdo (President of the Court of Appeal) and Justice JA Davies) quashed Hanson's and Ettridge's convictions.^[8] McMurdo J publicly rebuked many politicians including Prime Minister John Howard and Mrs Bronwyn Bishop MHR, whose observations, she said, demonstrated at least "a fundamental misunderstanding of the Rule of Law...[and] an attempt to influence the judicial...process".

Some criticism was directed at the political interference of Tony Abbott, who had arranged for the lawyers who instituted the legal action which resulted in Hanson going to gaol to act on a largely pro bono basis.^[9] Investigations by the ABC's Four Corners programme showed that Abbott had financed disgruntled ex One Nation member Tony Sharples's court case against Hanson, in order to derail the One Nation party. ^[10] For other people called Tony Abbott, see Tony Abbott (disambiguation). ...

Queensland Premier, Peter Beattie, initiated legislative changes to Queensland Law shortly after the verdict ensuring Hanson's conviction would mean she could not return to politics in the State, despite her convictions being eventually overturned and her prison sentence ruled wrongful. Peter Beattie and his Government also denied Hanson any financial restitution for her ordeal, despite her very public protests. Questions were raised as to why former Queensland Chief Magistrate, Di Fingleton, received a large sum of restitution following her wrongful imprisonment in a very similar set of circumstances. Critics slammed Peter Beattie for the apparent double standards. Peter Douglas Beattie (born 18 November 1952), Australian politician, was the 36th Premier of the Australian state of Queensland for nine years and leader of the Australian Labor Party in that state for eleven and a half. ...

In January 2004, Hanson announced that she did not intend to return to politics. ^[11]

Electoral Funding

After legal troubles in 2000 related to fraudulent registration of the One Nation Party, Hanson was facing bankruptcy. She made an appeal to supporters to give money to help her through her hard times. Sean Nelson attacked Hanson, saying, "She can afford to live on a $700,000 mansion just outside of Rosewood. The people up here that she's asking to give money to are pensioners and farmers that are doing it tough."^[12] Hanson, however, claimed she considered selling her mansion.

Hanson claims she doesn't run for the senate to make money, saying, "I think everyone would know I don't do it for the money."^[13] However, running in elections has earned Hanson electoral funding. According to Misha Schubert from The Age, "Ms Hanson, earned $199,886 from taxpayers for winning more than 4 per cent of the vote, and another $7695 in donations. She declared only $35,426 in campaign expenditure, potentially pocketing as much as $170,000." Hanson refused to repay the money back to taxpayers.^[14] This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Hanson's return to politics

On 15 September 2004, Hanson announced that she would be standing as an independent candidate for one of Queensland's seats in the Senate in the 9 October election. She declared, "I don't want all the hangers on. I don't want the advisers and everyone else. I want it to be this time Pauline Hanson." She was ultimately unsuccessful, receiving only 31.77% of the required quota of primary votes,^[15] and did not pick up enough additional support through preferences, however attracted more votes than the One Nation party (4.54% compared to 3.14%)^[15] and, unlike her former party, recovered her deposit from the Australian Electoral Commission and secured $150,000 of public electoral funding.^[16] is the 258th day of the year (259th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ... Federal elections were held in Australia on 9 October 2004. ...

On 6 December 2006, Hanson announced that she will stand for election in the 2007 Australian federal election in a seat yet to be determined. It is likely that her high profile and media profile will play a part in her election bid. Hanson launched her campaign by voicing concerns about Muslim immigration and warning that diseased Africans were coming to Australia, stating: "They are of no benefit to this country whatsoever." She also assailed her critics, saying it was her right as an Australian citizen to question the Government's immigration policies. ^[17] On 26 February 2007 Hanson announced that she would run as an independent candidate for one of the Queensland Senate vacancies at the upcoming Federal election. ^[18] is the 340th day of the year (341st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

On 24 May 2007 Hanson launched Pauline's United Australia Party.^[19] She is running as a candidate for the Senate in Queensland. The new party shares the same name as the historical United Australia Party. Her campaign song is titled "Australian Way of Life." While at the first performance of this song she "embraced" all audience members "regardless of their nationality", saying "Welcome everyone, no matter where you come from."^[20].
