Pauline's United Australia Party

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pauline's United Australia Party was a right-wing populist and racist party in Australia that only existed for a short time. Pauline Hanson founded this party on May 24, 2007, which had previously founded the One Nation party . The Australian Electoral Commission approved the Pauline's United Australia Party for national elections on September 19, 2007.

This party took its name from the historic United Australia Party , which existed from 1931 to 1945. Pauline Hanson founded the party in the expectation that her name in the name of the party would give the party an electoral advantage, and she envisioned that other independent candidates would run under this party name.

Pauline Hanson turned against the big parties in statements in a newspaper that they were not telling the truth, that the policies of the Australian Labor Party were against the interests of small business owners and farmers that the Conservative government of John Howard caused Australia to do Immigration by Muslims is sold out and he is accepting Africans without consulting the public. She warned in particular against the election of the Labor Party , as its policies are directed against the interests of the coal workers and their families, because Kevin Rudd and the unions are pursuing an ecological policy against the use of coal, which is an essential economic factor in Queensland, and also that policy of the Labor Party was not to solve the problem of water shortage in the area. The main point of the Hanson party's program was a ban on immigration for Muslims.

The election candidates of the Hanson party were run for the Australian Senate of Queensland in the national election of 2007, in which Hanson received 101,461 (4.2%) first votes, this is not enough for success. Brian Burston, former One Nation advisor to Hanson , received 39,807 votes, or 1.0 percent of the vote.

Hanson disbanded this party in March 2010 and announced that it would emigrate to the UK . Contrary to this statement, she ran again in 2011 in a group of independents for an election in New South Wales . After the first count, however, she did not get a seat. It could be that she still gets a seat in a by-election, but this is very uncertain.
