Hanson turns on 'diseased' Africans
A decade after warning Australia was being swamped by Asians, right-wing firebrand Pauline Hanson has voiced concerns about Muslims and says diseased Africans should be barred from the country.

The former One Nation leader is considering another political comeback, although she says she is unsure whether she'll stand for the Senate or House of Representatives at the next federal election.

Ms Hanson shocked Australia and its Asian neighbours with her comments on immigration and Aboriginal welfare after she was elected as federal MP for the Queensland seat of Oxley in 1996

I'd hoped her 15 minutes of fame were over. Apparently not:eyes:

1. Who?
Seriously, nowadays she is about as politically relevant as Meg Lees or Andrew Peacock...

2. Maybe she's just short of ready cash.
I seem to remember that large amounts of donations to One Nation went into her pocket.

There are still a lot of idiots out there though who'd probably vote for her - the kind of people
who gave Howard control of the Senate.
