John Pasquarelli, and The Australian rides again as the last mainstream home for Hansonism ...

(Above: more Nicholson here).

You have to hand it to the editors of The Australian, for sheer devious ratbag cunning.

How better to alienate voters of a certain stripe than to label Julia Gillard a wannabe Pauline Hanson, and who better to explain it than the exceptionally well credentialed John Pasquarelli.

Hire firework, light taper, stand well clear and publish column Gillard's smartest move: becoming Hanson.

It is of course the shared red hair that's the clue, though perhaps the shared nasal accent that so horrifies Christopher Pearson is another clue (they certainly don't speak like that in Unley, oh no sir, dearie me no, they speak proper and know how to enunciate skool lady-like).

Pasquarelli is of course under the delusion that Hanson and Hansonism still has some credibility, and so becoming Hanson is a good move, when in reality Hanson long ago became a political joke, and set the cause of redheads back by at least a hundred years.

And his column is of course just a standard excuse to recycle his alarmist hysteria about Australia being swamped by furriners.

Not the European furriners after the war, because they were good Christian white folk:

Australia benefitted hugely from the many post WWII migrants and refugees who came here, rapidly assimilated and locked arms with the rest of us.

Of course these people were overwhelmingly European, from Judeo-Christian backgrounds and quickly introduced some interesting accents to Aussie English in their desire to become good citizens. These people were culturally compatible and multicultural stupidity was still some years down the track.

No, Pasquarelli has other fish to fry, and it's about this point you begin to wonder why The Australian reliably gives him room for his dog eared rhetoric. Is this yet another case for those with subscriptions - god knows who you are, but the long absent god will surely punish you - to Think. Again.?

The tsunami of multiculturalism started building up during the Whitlam years and all our governments since have been cravenly subservient to the demands of the UN, particularly when it comes to immigration and refugees. This from a disgraced organisation that sat on the sidelines and watched the ghastly genocide committed in Rwanda, when an estimated 800,000 people were hacked and butchered in 1994 and then, incredibly, it repeated the dose in 1995 when UN troops didn't fire a shot during the massacre of Muslims at Srebrenica. And we do the bidding of this mob?

Yes, only god, the editors of The Australian, Pasquarelli, and perhaps Pauline Hanson herself might work out the connection between the tsunami of multiculturalism in Australia, the Whitlam government, the genocide in Rwanda, and the massacre of Muslims at Srebrenica, but there you have it. A national rag allegedly at the heart of the nation, printing tripe that if it were truly the heart of the nation means Australia and Australians have gone barking mad ...

As always, a whiff of paranoia and conspiracy theories is an important ingredient in the stew of rhetoric:

Before he was garrotted by Labor thuggees, Kevin Rudd came out in favour of a "Big Australia", but that set the alarm bells clanging with mainstream Australia, as it coincided with his disastrous policy on people smuggling that resulted in boats arriving almost every day, as well as a continuous stream of media reports detailing the ethnicity of criminal offenders despite the PC brigade, including some senior police, trying to censor such material.

But if there's censorship at work, how come Pasquarelli gets to blather in The Australian about his dark thoughts?

Well one thing's for sure. Pasquarelli isn't in the PC brigade. His solution to boat people?

Our laws must change and people smugglers and their clients would be warned that they face arrest on criminal charges and serious time in prison: no visas, no "Hotel Australia". All boats would be destroyed and big bounties for bringing people smugglers into Australian jurisdiction would be advertised.

It wouldn't take much time for this policy to bite and be successful but the howls from the UN and the bleeding-heart human rights lawyers and their cheer squads would be just too much for our MPs.

Yes, let's tear up all our international agreements, and go feral, and let them send in the black helicopters, because we'll fight them on the beaches, or perhaps in the RSL clubs.

You see, these fiendish new people are arriving here to steal our men's healthy bodily fluids:

Labor and Liberal have been strangely silent about the largest holes in our borders: the front counters of our embassies, where locals of the host country are employed instead of Australian nationals, who once were before Gareth Evans changed everything and John Howard's government failed to rectify this huge change to our border protection.

The employment of non-Australians in these positions has led to massive bribery and corruption for all the obvious reasons and this explains the large number of Asian girls who come here on tourist and student visas and work in brothels all around Australia.

Yes, it's about time our menfolk decided to deny them these women their powerful essence!

What is it, this thing Australian men have for Asian women? Surely it must be a corruption of the mind, a disease, encouraged at the very highest levels of government. And who knows what else might be going on?

Who else has arrived here during all these years on bodgy visas obtained from compliant fellow countrymen?

Yes, what a great question. A pity there's no answer, but who knows? They might lurk all around, perhaps even next door. Who knows? Who else is here? Who knows? Perhaps only John Pasquarelli or Pauline Hanson. Or maybe the Shadow knows ...

Still there's one shining light on the hill, one flickering glimmer of hope:

I thought Gillard was one smart person but her undergrad efforts on East Timor and a new "solution" astounded me.

She is now standing in front of the cameras like an automaton delivering her spin words "sustainable" and "moving forward" but her cynical intent to morph into Hanson may prove to be one of her best moves.

It was at this point, thankfully the end of column point, as I contemplated a cleansing shower, that I realised that The Australian had once again proven it was the last mainstream home for Hansonism in Australia.

Think. Again? Don't even begin to think ...
