More of a Thatcher; monarchist Anglophile on a crusade to destroy the union movement and keep Australia English (or at least white).

(is she still around?)[/quote]
Hanson was politically neutralised when Howard shifted right and adopted her policies (wrapped in slightly more polite language). She ended up doing some time after being done for fraud re: electoral funding. The trial was incredibly dodgy (Abbott played a key role in driving the prosecution), but as it was a right-wing on right-wing fight and the loser was widely despised, no-one particularly cared.
Hanson is still around, and once again the leader of the One Nation party. But they’re a spent force, and she is mostly a Palinesque comedy figure these days.
