from the abv "article":
More than one in 10 of those polled identified themselves as ''prejudiced against other cultures''. The rest may not be racist but 41.4 per cent of Australians believe that Muslims, Aboriginals, Asians or Jews ''don't fit into Australian society''. Broken down by cultural groups, 48.6 per cent of those polled reported anti-Muslim sentiment, while more than one in four - 27.9 per cent - expressed anti-Aboriginal sentiments, 23.8 per cent had anti-Asian attitudes and 23.3 per cent expressed anti-Semitic views.......
(my "high-lighting" & under-lining!)
if it wasn't for "the dirty tricks" played by the main-stream media and the two "main-stream" political parties, Pauline Hanson almost certainly would'v been elected as Prime Minister.....@ her "peak", she had the same or more support than Howard......prblby up to ¼ of "the primary vote"......more than enough to get elected with first & second "preferences"!
but.....it seems....that her "support base" is still out there.....maybe even more so, eh?!?
