        Yes Pauline’s time in the sun is almost over. When she talks to the press she is almost pleading with them to give her opinions air time (that they don’t deserve) As for the Asian card that is Paulines doing, It was wrong when she started talking about years ago & it is wrong now

        Pauline $#@&ing Hanson was, is and will always be a bloody racist. She needs to get back to her fish n chip shop and leave politics for good. #RacistBigot

        The strength of @SenatorWong ‘s identification with her Asian heritage is a personal matter. For @PaulineHansonOz to use it attempting to smear Senator Wong is contemptible behaviour.

        She’s the one that said “We’re being swamped by Asians.” Now she doesn’t like it when someone reminds her of what she said? And says something equally racist as “playing the Asian card”? It’s like she can’t help herself

        She's not "swamped by an Asian", she is surpassed by one.

        Does Pauline reside in mascot because its true we are being swamped. The only Anglos are ghastly backpackers. The contribution Asians have made to Australian culture is the Asian takeaway.

        No doubt she has a few cards up her sleeve, just waiting to see which one she plays for taking classified documents to her office .
