One Nation, another country

Article Abstract:

About 25% of the members of the Electrical Contractors' Association of Queensland voted One Nation at a recent Queensland election. They were mostly people who ran small businesses and employ others as part of the core businesses that help the country function. The group was dissatisfied with the leadership of John Howard and Paul Keating. They believe Australia is in turmoil but would never want to leave the country.

The man from Manly waves the baton

Article Abstract:

David Oldfield, Pauline Hanson's staffer, has been active attending television interviews, taking questions, and talking about the One Nation Party. This appearance was unprecedented, since the press is rarely interested in what staffers think. Many have credited him for his party's Queensland election performance. Judging by his performance and accomplishments, he may run for office.

Hanson heads for the exit

Article Abstract:

Pauline Hanson does not have a strong chance of winning the seat of Tony Blair without substantial preference leakages from the major political parties. The One Nation party will continue to struggle for seats. If Hanson had stood for the Senate, she would have had a better chance without major party preferences, needing only 14% to win.
