If she thinks her country is being swamped by Asians....

[VHG]

...wait til she comes here. She is in for a shock

http://news.bbc.co.uk...a-pacific/8515977.stm

She also says about Australia "Sadly, the land of opportunity is no more applicable, blaming high taxes and over-regulation".

Oh dear, she is in for a REAL shock in the UK

[Gromit]

It always amuses me when anti-immigaration people say they are emigrating.

[anotheoldgit]

She is not emigrating, she was born here, so she is just coming back home.

[rov1200]

Sorry I was thinking along the same lines

[LoftyLottie]

If I lived in Australia I too would want to get out. It's not what we think it is - a land of opportunity.

[sp1814]

Yeah...must be AWFUL for her. Poor thing.

I bet she wishes she were an Aborigine. They have it easy eh?

[Gromit]

That's even worse.

She has been complaining about immigrants in Australia for years, and she was herself an immigrant? What a hypocrite.

[Gromit]

She is 56 and will no doubt retire soon having paid nowt into our system but will reap the benefits of our national health service for a very long time.

[Seadragon]

Basically she has failed in Australia with her rascist views. She's just the type of person who would join the BNP.

[fredpuli47]

Not so fast, Seadragon. She's a 'ginger' . It's been noticed already that the BNP ejected a Times journalist who has ginger hair. Gingers are the new Asians !

Wonder where she'll settle ?She should be told that Luton and Bradford are very good for Australians like her.She'll feel quite at home, by the sound of it ! At least she'll have something to talk about there.

[Seadragon]

You guys are funny! I hope she gets a good ethnic reception at the airport and books a one way ticket back.

"It always amuses me when anti-immigaration people say they are emigrating. "
Funny you should say that - we get a lot of Brits arriving here in Greece claiming that they are fed up with the immigrants in the UK. They really don;t get it that they are now immigrants, and that they stick to there Brit ways, and often choose to live in Brit Ghettos.

None of you know Pauline Hanson apart from what you read or hear so please keep your prejudiced comments to yourselves until you get to know her. I also am white and proud of it and why shouldn't I be ,is this some new crime the whites are committing ? I have a Samoan grandson-in-law and four half Samoan greatgrandchildren (of whom we are very proud ) and grandson-in-law is proud to be Samoan .He is entitled to be exactly the same as I am to be white .
I emigrated to Australia 44 years ago and I wouldn't live anywhere else not even in my beloved England ,we emigrated mainly for health reasons not because of immigrants to the UK but now I'm glad to be out of it .Another point about Pauline unlike most immigrants to the UK she won't be living on handouts from your Goverment as she is quite well off due to her own efforts here.

[Dolly1308]

Good Luck Pauline you're going to need it and no she doesn't know what she is letting herself in for !

[dothawkes31]

Having never heard of the woman, and nowing nowt about Australia except that Skippy is on TV tonight at 9pm, it sounds like she craves publicity to achieve her own ends, bet she ends up on loose women. She's not araid to speak her mind and she's not running from the scandals she's been associated with, she''ll write a book and be all over the chat shows thie summer.

[Dolly1308]

As I said you are judging someone you do not know ,I'm surprised Dot that you would make such sweeping derogatory statements about someone you've never even heard of yet alone met.

[Quinlad]

Dolly, you're also making sweeping statements by assuming that none of us have any idea about this woman. You don't have to be a resident of Australia to have followed her political and media career. She's quite well known - and not just for saying 'I don't like it'. She's an odious woman.

[jno]

I'm not sure she was born in Britain at all - her Wiki entry says her grandfather was (though she has patriality status that will allow her entry into the uK)
