ONE NATION EXTENDS A WELCOME TO OUR WEB SITE.

Whether you arrived here by curiosity, choice or are perhaps one of the many thousands that attended One Nation meetings, back in the late nineties? We hope that you will leave with a better understanding of what One Nation is about.

Perhaps you remember when Pauline Hanson could attract five or six thousand people to her meetings when the then Prime Minister, John Howard, could muster less than two hundred, the Opposition leader even less.

Was it any wonder that the powers that be were so panic-stricken that overnight such a threat to their support had arisen that they decided to join forces to use taxpayer's money pay for the organizing of crowds to disrupt her meetings? Is it any wonder that they turned to the only weapon at their disposal, and that was to accuse this vibrant new party of being racist?

And when that failed they then turned to playing on weak members of the party to give false evidence of impropriety which was later disproved, but by then the damage had been done.

One Nation is not, nor has ever been, a racist party. We are however a fiercely nationalistic party that puts the well being of Australia and it's people before anything else. It is obvious by the tens of thousands that came out to support us that there is a ground swell of ordinary people in this country who are sick of the self serving, on both sides of politics, that has been passed off as leadership for so many decades.

Why have we allowed the bad decisions that lead to the mayhem in the suburbs of Sydney in December 1995? Why are we fearful of the people who may be flying with us?

The answer is that politics has become so much an easy way to a gold pass life of luxury that no one wants to ask the tough questions that used to be asked in past years. No one wants to rock the cozy gravy train to the good life so no one says the things that should be said.

We at One Nation make no denial that, if we get support of those tens of thousands of our past supporters, we will be about changing how things are done in the future.
