Senate candidates do not succeed with such few votes. Even Antony Green at the time said that Anning's 19 votes would be a record low. Anning is only in the Senate due to a freak set of circumstances: It was a double dissolution election which inflates the chances of minor parties; PHON voters are voting for and preferencing Pauline Hanson rather than One Nation the party so other candidates on the PHON Senate ticket can gain a seat with bugger all votes; Section 44 of the constitution disqualified Roberts; Anning who was put in as Roberts replacement by PHON then quit the party that put him in the Senate as soon as he entered it. So he's not representing anyone who put him in Senate. The very definition of unrepresentative swill as Keating once said.
Anning has also repeatedly used taxpayers money to attend a number of these far-right/alt-right rallies across Australia. Are white farmers are being attacked in Qld too?
He has also laughably claimed he is allowed to claim more taxpayers money than any other pollie because his wife is "volunteering" for him
. Good riddance at the next election in a few months time
.
There was more than one of the goons there making Nazi salutes while others had SS paraphernalia (The Cosmic Psychos certainly didn't hold back on what they thought of it
). Add the swastika plastered on the aged care home connected to families of Holocaust survivors and that that 'rally' just so happened to be held on the 100th anniversary of the founding the DAP that would become the NSDAP. If it walks like a duck (or should that be steps like a goose
) and quacks like a duck then don't be surprised when it's called a duck!
