Dirty politics !

Just coincidence ? Or dirty politics !

Just a week before a crucial state election in Queensland a national newspaper runs semi nude photographs of aspiring politician Pauline Hanson, supposedly taken by a man who claimed to be her ex-boyfriend.

Yesterday - the day after the election - which Pauline Hanson lost - that same paper admitted that the photographs were not genuine - claimed that they had been conned - and offered an apology !

What a remarkable piece of timing !

The opinion polls before the election indicated a close poll and both sides of politics thought a hung parliament was possible. In such circumstances, shutting out an independent would be crucial - because such a person might hold the balance of power.

Pauline Hanson was once the leader of " One Nation " and had a big following. Many of those were elderly people spooked by Asian immigration - and the elderly tend to be ultra conservative when it comes to sexual matters.

A semi nude Pauline Hanson would be a big turnoff to such people. There is a strange smell about this newspaper disclosure - and some would go further and say a bloody awful stink !

Just in case this was dirty politics it is essential that the Federal police fully investigate - and if they can find evidence of a political scam to deceive the voters - prosecute and name the instigators.

A lot of people who dislike Pauline Hanson's policies would be honest enough to insist that she is entitled to the Australian standard of " a fair go " !
