2007 – she formed the Pauline’s United Australia Party. (Not that one, and no, not that one either).

2009 – she again ran for the Queensland State Election as an Indy and lost. After this Election she spat the dummy. She told us she was deregistering the United Australia Party, selling her house, but not to Muslims, and moving to the UK. We danced! But then she found out the UK had non-white and non-Christian people living there too! And they had more of them than we did!!! So she said f*#k that, and we were stuck with her. We all slow danced …

2010 – she reached out to Mr Abbott and said she would love to rejoin the Liberal Party. But Mr Abbott was distracted by Ms Gillard and ignored Ms Hanson.
