Via the ABC comes Pauline:
Pauline Hanson has drawn clear battlelines for the WA state election, opposing key Liberal and Nationals policies including the privatisation of Western Power and the iron ore mining tax.
Ms Hanson, who is in Perth to select candidates for the election in March, said One Nation would not back policies that hurt ordinary people.
“It’s been proven fact that when you sell your essential services like your gas, your water, your electricity, your telecommunications, it’s a rising cost to Australians and the average household out there cannot afford it anymore,” she said.
One Nation will also oppose the $5 a tonne mining tax being proposed by WA Nationals leader Brendon Grylls.
Under that plan, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto would be slugged with the tax which is expected to raise $7.2 billi n over four years.
Ms Hanson said people in WA wanted and needed a strong mining sector and did not support the tax.
Sometimes writing this blog is like fighting a tide of bullshit. The mining levy “hurts ordinary people?”?
