What Pauline Hanson thinks

WHAT PAULINE HANSON THINKS

ON THE MAJOR PARTIES

"Have a look at the vote that I've pulled and it will tell them they are clearly out of touch."

ON THE NEXT PRIME MINISTER

"To tell you the truth, I don't particularly like either one of them as the prime minister of this country."

ON THE GREENS LEADER

"Richard Di Natale actually needs to look at the word `racist' and what it actually means. There is nothing racist in it. I have the right to an opinion."

ON RACIAL DISCRIMINATION

"We live in a democratic society. We are entitled to freedom of speech and freedom of expression as long as it's not out to incite hatred or violence."

ON ASIAN IMMIGRATION

"You go and ask a lot of people in Sydney, at Hurstville or some of the other suburbs. They feel they have been swamped by Asians."

ON FAMILY LAW

"It disturbs me greatly to see so many fathers and women that are actually mothers who are suiciding."

ON BANKS

"We have families that are losing their family homes, their properties by the banking sector that I believe needs to be a full investigation into it because documentation that I have seen clearly shows that signatures have been forged."

ON IMMIGRATION

"What we're doing with high immigration, we're putting a strain on our infrastructure, whether it be the housing, hospitals, water, sewage, nursing homes, schools, it's clearly that's the problem we have."

ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF LAND

"A lot of Australians feel that Asians are buying up prime agricultural land, housing."

ON ISLAM

"I'd like to know what they're actually teaching in those schools and what's being said in the mosques. You can't deny the fact that in these mosques they have been known to preach hate towards us."

ON A NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD

"I'd like to see it introduced. I believe that our welfare system has been abused and it needs to be reined in if we have any chance of pulling back our national debt."

ON FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS

"As far as those Chinese being able to bring in their own workers, we need to look at the unemployment in Australia."

ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE

"We can take a lesson from what happened in Ireland ... and put it in the constitution so that it will only be up to the people then to change."

ON HOW SHE'S CHANGED

"I'm not politically naive, I'm older and I think I'm wiser with this and I haven't got the people around me who are out for their own self-interest or gains."

ON DONALD TRUMP

"The more that the major political parties have a go at you, and the media, gives me more reason why he should be in there."

ON CLIMATE CHANGE

"I'm definitely not sold on it. I want the true facts to be put out to the people."

ON MEDIA TREATMENT

"Don't take me out of context what I'm saying here at all."
