    Australian far-right nut job turns up to parliament in FULL BURQA - embarrassing!



    I'm glad the attorney general called her out on her elaborate stunt, she is a real loony... Is this woman popular in Australia?

    For reference, this is her during her first Parliamentary tenure.



    This is the woman who claimed that power outages in South Australia were due to Muslims.

    Yeah, legislative discussion being reduced to trolling is oh so funny.

    I'm surprised you people bitch about how ineffective government is and then turn around and support activities that preclude it from -being- effective.

    Muslim voltages are not compatible with the South Australian energy market, clearly.

    That video is very chilling... The more and more I learn about this woman the more shocked I am that she stills gets to be in parliament. I've even learnt that she committed election fraud and subsequently was jailed for 11 days, what a horrendous creature.

    Think of it this way, atleast your new far right party did not hold its first speech in parliament in Latin. We got that one! Dutch power!

    The way Australian Senate elections work is through a form of proportional representation; i.e. parties get seats based on their percentage of the vote. However, in Australia this is muddied by the fact people can vote for individual candidates in order of preference as well as parties, leading to a whole sub-industry of preference trading between parties and politicians.

    The long and short of it, is that electoral method gives a lot of power to ratbag one-issue third parties, particularly from Queensland, who then proceed to force the major parties to concede on certain issues in exchange for anywhere between one to three extra votes.

    I would prefer that government be even more ineffective. The less government, the better.

    No. She's popular in her electorate, and a few others. Most Australians find her an embarassment, a horrible person, and were pretty pissed when she came back to Australia and sought to rejoin politics.

    For reference, she left Australia after her first stint as a politician saying it had "too many immigrants", so she went to live in the UK. Then she came back, only this time she hated Muslims instead of Asians.

    Also she wants to segregate autistic children in schools because they "hold other children back" and her colleagues (and likely her, given past remarks) wants the publicly-funded television station to give "equal time" to displaying anti-vax campaigner's "point of view".

    Right wingers in parliament seldom get anything done but interrupting the democratic process.

    She made a good point poorly. That's her style.

    The point still stands - the thing should be banned.

    Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
    You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
    Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
    Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

    So how many people in Australia actually wears the full covering Burka?

    Because we've had this come up in our government, and it was noted, we barely talked about 10 people in our country that actually wore it on a regular basis.

    What the feminist position on the burka? Is protecting Islam more important than protecting women?

    Which ones got triggered?

    From the video, Hanson got her ass handed to her. Just zoom in on her face as she STANDS UP when the guy who bashes her gets a standing ovation. She is LIVID, she is FURIOUS at how much she got embarrassed. Certainly, it's obvious to see who the triggered one was here.

    Him condemning her so much about what the muslims in their country might think/do in response will only feed her point.

    Wearing clothes is not mocking them.

    At worst, publicity stunts are somewhat disrespectful to the professionals in the room. Still, they're called "publicity stunts" for a reason, and quite frankly more of them would make politics more interesting, within reason.
