Pauline Hanson Quotations

To survive in peace and harmony, united and strong, we must have one people, one nation, one flag.

This nation is being divided into black and white, and the present system encourages this.

I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians.

We have one of the highest interest rates in the world, and we owe more money per capita than any other country. All we need is a nail hole in the bottom of the boat and we're sunk.

We must look after our own before lining the pockets of overseas countries and investors.

Governments must give to all those who have hit life's hurdles the chance to rebuild and have a future.

My view on issues is based on common sense, and my experience as a mother of four children, as a sole parent, and as a businesswoman running a fish and chip shop.

It is refreshing to be able to express my views without having to toe a party line. It has got me into trouble on the odd occasion, but I am not going to stop saying what I think.

A social problem is one that concerns the way in which people live together in one society. A racial problem is a problem which confronts two different races who live in two separate societies, even if those societies are side by side.

I may be only a fish and chip shop lady, but some of these economists need to get their heads out of the textbooks and get a job in the real world. I would not even let one of them handle my grocery shopping.

I will fight hard to keep my seat in this place, but that will depend on the people who sent me here.

I come here not as a polished politician but as a woman who has had her fair share of life's knocks.

I do not believe that the colour of one's skin determines whether you are disadvantaged.

The majority of Aboriginals do not want handouts because they realise that welfare is killing them.

We are regarded as a Third World country with First World living conditions.

If politicians continue to promote separatism in Australia, they should not continue to hold their seats in this parliament. They are not truly representing all Australians, and I call on the people to throw them out.

The World Health Organisation has a lot of its medical experts sitting in Geneva while hospitals in Africa have no drugs and desperate patients are forced to seek medication on the black market.

We have lost all our big Australian industries and icons, including Qantas when it sold 25 % of its shares and a controlling interest to British Airways.

The Government must do all it can to help reduce interest rates for business.

Usually, I am on the other end and they're (reporters) interviewing me,

Wake up, Australia, before it is too late. Australians need and want leaders who can inspire and give hope in difficult times.

She may not be sitting in the Senate but she's still standing for us.

My greatest desire is to see all Australians treat each other as equals as we travel together towards the new century.

Now the shoe is on the other foot, I am asking the questions.

I have been in their shoes. I know what it is like just before you go on and how it feels on the floor.

I talk about... the privileges Aboriginals enjoy over other Australians. I have done research on benefits available only to Aboriginals and challenge anyone to tell me how Aboriginals are disadvantaged when they can obtain 3 and 5% housing loans denied to non-Aboriginals.

Reconciliation is everyone recognising and treating each other as equals, and everyone must be responsible for their own actions.

I was born here, and so were my parents and children. I will work beside anyone and they will be my equal, but I draw the line when told I must pay and continue paying for something that happened over 200 years ago. Like most Australians, I worked for my land; no one gave it to me.

Those who feed off the Aboriginal industry do not want to see things changed. Look at the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation. Members receive $290 a day sitting allowance and $320 a day travelling allowance, and most of these people also hold other very well paid positions. No wonder they did not want to resign recently!

Racism is getting worse because of a lack of moral leadership,

The most noisy criticism came from the fat cats, bureaucrats and the do-gooders. They screamed the loudest because they stand to lose the most-their power, money and position, all funded by ordinary Australian taxpayers.

This is breaking my heart. I love this country with a passion, but since the Tampa and 9/11 we've gone from a position of international respect in relation to race and human rights to a laughing stock.

It was always written up in our constitution that our positions were not concreted forever and a day, ... It is written in our constitution that our positions would go to the vote by the members of One Nation, so you see they have misread our constitution.

The Family Law Act, which was the child of the disgraceful Senator Lionel Murphy, should be repealed. It has brought death, misery and heartache to countless thousands of Australians. Children are treated like pawns in some crazy game of chess.

Immigration must be halted in the short-term so that our dole queues are not added to by, in many cases, unskilled migrants not fluent in the English language.

In this financial year we will be spending at least $1.5 billion on foreign aid and we cannot be sure that this money will be properly spent, as corruption and mismanagement in many of the recipient countries are legend.

I am not guilty and I will be fighting this.

I do not feel we can go on living in a dream world forever and a day believing that war will never touch our lives again.

The greatest cause of family breakdown is unemployment. This country of ours has the richest mineral deposits in the world and vast rich lands for agriculture and is surrounded by oceans that provide a wealth of seafood, and yet we are $190 billion in debt with an interest bill that is strangling us.

In this financial year we will be spending at least $1.5 billion on foreign aid and we cannot be sure that this money will be properly spent, as corruption and mismanagement in many of the recipient countries are legend.

I won the seat of Oxley largely on an issue that has resulted in me being called a racist. That issue related to my comment that Aboriginals received more benefits than non-Aboriginals.

Present governments are encouraging separatism in Australia by providing opportunities, land, moneys and facilities available only to Aboriginals.

What I can't understand is why come here and try and change our country into the place that you've come from? And all I ask of people is come here, respect our country, respect our laws, our culture, our way of life. Be Australian, join us, enjoy this beautiful country and everything that it has to offer.

I and most Australians want our immigration policy radically reviewed and that of multiculturalism abolished. I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians. Between 1984 and 1995, 40 per cent of all migrants coming into this country were of Asian origin. They have their own culture and religion, form ghettos and do not assimilate.

Muslims are not compatible with the Australian way of life because they have a different region code
