Apparently a motion to be put to the PHON "AGM" this weekend - from thier Faceplant page:

1. To expel James Ashby from One Nation (Pauline Hanson’s One Nation), and all divisions, for life.

> The reason being for bringing One Nation into disrepute due to his actions over the past few years. i.e. the American trip to the National Rifle Association with Steve Dickson (Senate Candidate), the scuffle and fight with former One Nation Senator Brian Burston in Parliament House last year, the One Nation aeroplane saga and investigations that came with it and for other headlines that have hit the media.

2. To remove Pauline Hanson as President for Life of One Nation Federal Division.

>The reason being that One Nation should be democratic and members should be able to nominate for executive positions within the party. This is also for the better management of the party, which will in the future minimise any litigation that the party may encounter, due to any poor decisions. One Nation has been subjected to this in the past, with Pauline Hanson even being put in jail.

You may not be a supporter of Pauline Hanson or One Nation but One Nation is a political party that was intended to hold the major political parties to account. Without democracy in this party, this will never happen.
From the Go Fund Me page:

Political parties in Australia should be democratic.

When a person joins a political party as a member, they are all entitled to attend the organisation’s AGM and have voting rights.

Unfortunately, at the upcoming One Nation Annual General Meeting on the 19th October, many members will not be able to attend due to the exorbitant attendance fee that the One Nation Executive are charging ($150 a ticket and $100 for pensioners). In this case, many members have not even been invited to the AGM.

The One Nation Executive is headed by Pauline Hanson, who has made herself President for Life, and Pauline’s advisor is James Ashby, who is also a member of One Nation.

Pauline Hanson is a Queensland Senator, which is more than a full-time job. There are many party members who are of the opinion that Pauline needs to concentrate on her Senate work and leave other capable people to manage the executive and finances of One Nation.

Unfortunately, because Pauline has not had the time to dedicate to the management of the One Nation Political Party, there are party members that believe that she has trusted and let the wrong people in to manage the party. Pauline cannot do every job herself and One Nation and Queensland need all jobs done efficiently and properly.

This GofundMe is to raise money for those members who cannot afford to attend the AGM, to pay for their tickets to go, and vote on important party decisions.

To put the One Nation Party back on track to being a democratic party once again, some members would like to be able to attend and back the following motions at the meeting.

Old news, although I do appreciate it being kept in the forefront of people’s minds.
Really??? Do people actually pay to hear her moronic beliefs??? I am in two minds here with this one...

Better old news than no news, Fred.

Unfortunately, yes, they do. Paying to hear her speak is one of the party's major sources of funds, along with election funding from the AEC. Indeed, the election funding is how Pauline has made herself a moderatley wealthy woman. She has, in the past, stood as an independent and not even bothered to electioneer. She knew she wouldn't be elected but would get enough votes for pay for her nomination and to fund her lifestyle. :roll:

Honestly, she does have some support. Let those morons pay her way. BUT the reason I am in two minds about the one you show is, that the old woman is foolish enough to want to talk to Hanson then she deserves to pay.

I just don't believe she has value in Australia any more. Paying to talk to her or hear what she has to say has been squandered since all she does is parrot the populist Bogan rhetoric of the audience she is addressing... Just a waste of space IMO.

Pauline Hanson denies One Nation in financial trouble after $100K loan

100k loan? What 100k loan?

Ah, this 100k loan...

Pauline Hanson wants the role of journalists to be 'defined' amid media blackout :roll:

Yeah, but you see, Briney, Pauline Hanson loves white Australians while you hate white Australians. So, I like Pauline and despise you, because I am a white Australian.

The more you try to throw mud at her, the more I likme her. It's like Trump. People like you in the USA nev4er stopped hating the USA and sneering at Trump. That's why white Americans, and people who like the society created by white Americans, and who want to asimilate with white Americans and live in communities among white Americans, vote for trump.
