"Death" video

In November 1997 Hanson, under suggestion from Oldfield, recorded a video which was to be screened to One Nation members and supporters in the event of her assassination, following claims that she and her daughter had received anonymous death threats.[18][19] The 12-minute tape started off with the following message:
“ Fellow Australians, if you are seeing me now, it means I have been murdered. Do not let my passing distract you for even a moment ”

and then urged that

“ For the sake of our children and our children's children, you must fight on. Do not let my passing distract you for one moment. We must go forward together as Australians. Our country is at stake ”

So, she's not dead? Just released a video because she feared murderous blowback from her attempts to keep Austrailia "white"?

Dear Videosift, If you are reading this, then I am already dead. Please do not take even a moments pause. Keep those cat videos coming and vote up my pq.

No, she's not a racist. She just thinks of non-whites as lesser beings. HUGE difference there.

It was just another attention-seeking act from Australia's most well known media-whore racist. This was over ten years ago. More recently, she's decided she's going to move to England, Australia being not-quite-white enough for her. Either that, or she sees greater scope for anti-immigration politics there. She's selling her house, but has told the tabloid media she won't sell it to muslims (apparently 'Asians' are ok - no one's told her there may be muslim Asians).

She's a national joke, and I can't wait for her to leave if she ever does.

Y'know in the '99 federal election, her party received 1 MILLION votes (that's 10% of the population!). She spoke to an undercurrent of racism in the country that we like to think is not there.

Sorry to plug from my own pqueue, but John Pilger's piece on racism in Australia is a must watch:

I don't know that we pretend it's not there. I'll say this, though - I was studying politics in the late 90s when there were a handful of her party members (One Nation) in the Queensland Parliament. We went on a field trip to the Parliament, and these people sat by themselves, acknowledged by no one else. Every other member of parliament pretended they weren't there. They were complete outcasts, thoroughly ignored by every major party. It was fascinating. Apparently it wasn't just in the sitting house either. Even in the corridors, in the street, at functions - the major parties just pretended they didn't exist. And then, eventually, they didn't exist.

i've said it before: racism is the only problem in the world that will go away if you simply ignore it.
