Yesterday it was reported that nearly half of Queensland voters think Pauline Hanson would be a good Prime Minister. These reports appear to be giving the major parties a proverbial boot up the bum, according to acting Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce.

However, with the Queensland state election set to be held during or before 2018, Pauline Hanson’s One Nation looks set to secure the unicameral power structure of Queensland. Even former Queensland Premier Campbell Newman has said at the beginning of the week:

“Things could change, of course, but I think the next government in Queensland will have to be a coalition government with One Nation,”

“You can talk preferences all you like, but they’re going to win enough seats.”

One can almost hear Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen uttering from the clouds “Pauline, be the bushfire! Rage across this great land! Crush the Bolshevik bastards that have castrated the country!”

Food for thought.
