Pauline Hanson: Looking For Love In All The Televised Places

Being Pauline Hanson isn’t easy. Sure, thousands of Antipodeans – uncomfortable by the presence of an Asian section in their local supermarket – think of her as a strong, courageous type, a woman who was unafraid to throw political correctness, charisma, and eloquence out the window in order to put forward her astounding What’s With Slanty Eyed Foreigners? argument during her maiden speech to federal parliament back in the heady days of the mid-nineties. But is the lingering kudos from Mr and Mrs Hick McRedneck enough to keep Pauline warm during these cold, lonely nights?

It would seem not.

(Pauline Hanson has) confirmed she has been “casually” approached by Channel Seven to star in her own dating show in the tradition of Nine’s mega-hit A Farmer Wants A Wife.

“I am open to offers and I think that A Farmer Wants A Wife is interesting and some of those people have met their ideal matches and I think that’s wonderful, ” she said.

…

The 54-year-old single mum, dubbed one of Australia’s Most Influential People, admits she struggles to find love given her political past and high profile. “I would dearly love to meet someone who I can spend the rest of my life with and have that companionship with,” she said.

One media analyst has already declared the proposed project as a sure-fire ratings smash.

But of course! Let’s face it, Pauline charmed the nation enough to make it through to the final of Dancing With The Stars (sadly she was beaten by that Aryan wunderkind Bec Cartwright), and heavily Hanson-influenced oldies remain popular enough with bogan television viewers to win large sums of cash, so there’s absolutely no reason why Pauline Hanson cannot find love and make the networks happy by giving them another excuse to pop a pissweak reality show onto our screens and rake in the cash.

And I would probably watch it, you know.
