Pauline Hanson is very sensitive about the perception that she’s launched another doomed bid at election to Parliament for the money. She walked out of a Channel Ten television interview the other day because the rude, rude hosts dared bring up the topic. Hanson’s so touchy about electoral funding that she’s devoted a whiny, poorly punctuated web page to it.

There has been a lot of media hype with regards to the electoral funding I received from the last election. There are suggestions from media and my opponents that I am running in this election purely for the electoral funding. This is not the case. Why am I the only one who appears to be targeted when it comes to electoral funding. (sic) Go and ask all the other candidates who are standing are they doing it for the money? (sic) Go and ask the registered political parties why they don’t pay tax on electoral funding they collect from elections. As an Independent and unregistered political party I am obligated to pay tax on electoral funding.

My expenses far exceeded what I was required to report to the Electoral Commission as to the cost of running my campaign. Is there one set of rules for Pauline Hanson and another for the political parties and everyone else. (sic)

And check out the neatly rigged table of electoral funding at the 2004 election.

Very misleading, Pauline. Please explain.

I sense that this [first name]; [last name] template is going to spread far and wide. A new snowclone in the making? Who can lay claim to it?

I’ll happily take credit for the SemiColonClone, Jangari. Complete with EmbeddedCapitalisation.

Does Hanson’s website have any references to Jeremy Sear, or to ‘the minions of the left’?

I find it interesting that One Nation is listed as “Pauline Hanson’s One Nation”.

And is Pauline Hanson building a sports car?

Yeah poor old Pauline. Just thing how she could put matters to rest if she donated the extras she got to helping all those Aboriginal women she said she’d help in jail when she got out.

I’m happy for her to run. She’ll do little more than split the Liberal/National/Family First vote.
