Over the weekend, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson outlined what Australia would look like should she ever become Prime Minister.
Predictably, some of her ideas were slightly terrifying (she’s keen to abolish the GST, so see ya Medicare!), some were just nonsensical (she’d like to launch a royal commission into Islam. Just a really expensive, taxpayer-funded commission to check things out…), but there was one comment that stood out as far more problematic and worrying than the rest.
Speaking to the Sunday Mail about her politics, the 62-year-old Senator claimed, “I don’t change my tune, whichever way the polls are going. If you look at what I said 20 years ago, it’s exactly what I’m saying today."

Someone does not like Pauline ..............
"It's human nature for people to change their minds." Wow completely in opposition to actual research. In fact the higher the 'intelligence' level the less likely you will change your mind despite compelling evidence you are wrong. Why? You are simply much more skillful than those around you at convincing yourself you are not only right but are also more convinced your are.
For instance "she’s keen to abolish the GST, so see ya Medicare!" Despite the absence of any evidence a person's view as to the efficacy or not of GST as a source of revenue determines you will or will not seek to abolish universal health care-Medicare the author of this article I am sure will persist in believing it is the case or something worse in regards Pauline Hanson, and will persist in believing despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary her own predjudice, bias, beliefs can surely dramatically change when confronted with the truth as to her error(s).
