Except those "comments" were said in parliament and are on the official parliamentary record and were to the effect of "I believe we are being swamped by asians"
This is when she was IN the liberal party!
if you want to search that public record go to ph.gov.au and for the 1996-1998parliament search speeches by member and then search immigration under pauline hanson.
Don't tell me these comments were made up! They were said in front of only 100members of the press and several TV cameras IN the chambers of the Australian Parliament!
"We are being swamped by asians" is racist for the record!
