Watch out , Poms ....
Pauline Hanson leaving Australia for new life in UK By Fiona Byrne From: Herald Sun February 15, 2010 6:ANTI-immigration mouthpiece Pauline Hanson is packing up her bags and emigrating.
She is departing for a new life in the UK, claiming that Australia is no longer the land of opportunity.
The former One Nation leader has told Woman's Day magazine she is selling her Queensland home.
"I'm going to be away indefinitely," Ms Hanson said.
"It's pretty much goodbye forever. I've really had enough. I want peace in my life. I want contentment, and that's what I'm aiming for.
"I will miss my children and close friends most of all."
The mother of four - who in 1996 made world headlines when as a new federal MP she blasted multiculturalism in her maiden Parliamentary speech - told the magazine Australia had changed too much for her liking.
"Sadly, 'the land of opportunity' is no more applicable," she said.
She acknowledged her Parliamentary days were behind her, having failed in her latest bid to enter the Queensland Parliament, in March last year. "I know I will never be given a chance to enter Parliament again," she said.
The former fish-and-chip shop owner rose to national prominence 14 years ago when she won the federal seat of Oxley in Queensland. Originally endorsed as the Liberal candidate for the seat, she was cut loose by the party because of her controversial views on race.
In 1997 she formed the One Nation party with David Ettridge and David Oldfield.
Ms Hanson lost the seat at the 1998 election and then tried a further four times to be elected to Parliament. While she became an independent, her former party collapsed and is now a shadow of what it was when she was at the helm.
She appeared on TV's Dancing With The Stars in 2004 and released her autobiography Untamed & Unashamed in 2007.
Married twice, she has four adult children, Steven and Tony from her marriage to Walter Zagorski, and Adam and Lee from her marriage to Mark Hanson.
It is unknown if she is currently in a relationship.

Good point, JGK. It's just a bullsh!t ploy to get air time for the $1M property she's trying to sell.
Farkin ignorant biatch.

On the subject of Poms, just saw the name of the head of the British armed forces.
Sir Jock Stirrup.
Bet he hated his parents.

On the main topic, I suppose she can walk into the BNP. They now have an Open Door Policy. Which means they can't be called racists any more, according to N Griffin.
Forced by the authoritarian nanny state, as he was also careful to point out.
A career in stand-up awaits for Nick. If Al Murray can do it ....

She ought to move to the US and get a job on Fox News. On second thoughts, she's probably too much a lily-livered pinko liberal for that crew.

Not a chance of that. Only the idiotic European elections where you need only 8% of the vote to get a seat allowed it to happen, and even then only just did the BNP get one. Under FPTP there's not a prayer - which is why no one standing on a racist ticket has ever been elected.

Probably positioning herself to be the new Rolf Harris. He can't go on forever.
If she turns up at Heathrow with a wobble-board under her arm, it's a shoo-in that she'll be hosting Animal Hospital within the year...

More a replicant of Dame Edna's late lamented Madge ...Probably positioning herself to be the new Rolf Harris.
