In her maiden speech Pauline Hanson said:
if I can invite whom I want into my home, then I should have the right to have a say in who comes into my country.
On the other hand, Prof Bryan Caplan said:
It's reasonable to insist that people get your permission to come to your home. It's absurd to insist that people get your permission to live in your neighbor's house* - much less than people get your permission to live in a hundred-mile radius of you. That's on par with the schoolyard bully's grievance that "You're breathing my air." We should see it for what it is - a flimsy pretext for naked aggression.
* Unless your neighbor contractually agreed to such restrictions, of course.

WHat a racist bitch! If this was the case, ask her how the aboriginals felt when the early european settlers (most of them convicts whom she is probably related to) forced their way into their home?

Fuck I can't stand that racist whore.

Best way to rebut Pauline Hanson: Don't give her any attention. She's like an RL troll, if nobody gives a fuck about her she'll go away. Her views are too incendiary to be taken seriously. She is a joke.
