Kim, Hope you enjoyed your visit to Australia.

You guess wrong. To describe Pauline Hanson as a primary candidate for PM is like describing Pallidotomy as a cure for Parkinsons. Given her current high profile, I can understand how you might make the mistake, especially as Austalian society, deceptively, may well appear not unlike your own. In one respect you are absolutely right - the things she says and the way she says them are very nasty. I look forward to the next election when, as is the fate of most one issue parties, she and her newly created party are ignored at the ballot box.
