The humble fish and chip shop lady turned politician turned inmate turned dancer, has made the headline yet again for something as equally outrageous as her racial point of view.
This time, our little lady has exposed all (in a literal sense).
Recently a series of photos of a 19yr old Hanson in (politically) compromising positions has surfaced in various media outlets nationwide. According to the woman in question the photos are not of her. The Sunday Telegraph however has stuck to its story, alledgelly putting them through serious photo shop testing to prove authenticity.
This event has sparked some controversy within several Queensland political parties. It would seem that the photos are being used against Hanson in a childish bid to make her political run a big joke among the general public. On the other side, there have been rumours that back Hanson claiming a huge conspiricy against her to decrease her popularity.
Despite the average citizens urge to make fun of Pauline at any given moment, any reasonable person should be able to see that these photos not only went too far in regards to journalistic ethics, but also in basic human morals.
It's true that these photos would get popular attention (as they have) and pull in large numbers for papers and TV shows, but can a person really be judged on something they did in a drunken moment in their youth? And should we be sitting there ready to pass judgement on her (even though we may dislike her) when if we were in her shoes, we too would feel completely betrayed and embarrassed?
I didn't think so.
