Pauline Hanson had a job

The Australian

Dear Sir

I have seen many attacks by Labor on Pauline Hanson.  She went into politics after running a fish and chip business.

One wonders how many Labor politicians have become MPs after going to school and maybe uni.  How many have run a business or had a real job?  Or changed a tyre?

Yet they are trusted to run Australia.  One doubts seriously whether they could run a fish shop.

We can't blame them for this.  They are on their huge salaries and benefits because Australian voters put them there.  And those voters acted on the advice of the media, some of which are taxpayer-funded.

If One Nation ever gets to run the Australian government, they have a swamp to drain. A task ignored by previous 'conservative' governments.
