Australia needs you, son tells Pauline Hanson
PAULINE Hanson broke down in tears yesterday as she explained why she is running for the NSW elections: "Australia needs me."
Ms Hanson has aligned herself with candidates opposing immigration and privatisation on an "independent" ticket of 16 people contesting the Upper House poll on March 26.
She declared she did not believe in foreign investment, that Asian migrants had not assimilated, and there should be a referendum before state assets are privatised.
Fellow candidates include Katie McCulloch, who led a campaign against an Islamic school in 2008, and former Australians Against Further Immigration candidate Alan Cronin.
Ms Hanson, 56, said she had the blessing of her four children to restart her political career. She became emotional when describing a talk with her son.
"I told him I'm only a phone call away if I have to (speak to you), a flight away," she said. "He said, 'No, mum. Australia needs you more at this time'."
Ms Hanson needs 4.67 per cent of the vote to win a seat, difficult with no major party directing preferences to her.

Difficult?
No, I think she'll wing it.
Easily.
