Pauline Hanson relies on publicised antics to gain support. Unfortunately it works and it weeds out the ones who have been waiting for someone like her so then can reveal their own thoughts. Politics and religious affiliations should never mix. Everyone has their own beliefs and you cannot cater to every groups belief. It will become a bias attitude that takes precedence above the logical movement that should have taken place.
I was/am first of my family to have been born in Australia. I was raised in an orthodox household with strong influence from those around me and it became part of my own identity. But I also believe and support many things so perhaps that makes me a partial believer. I don’t know and I don’t care. I question many things about it but I’d never question those people around me on their belief or anyone else’s for that matter. I am curious about peoples beliefs though and love to hear about it. I’m drawn to that stuff- culture, history, language. We all have the right to believe in what we want, though I do not think politics and religious affiliations should ever mix. You cannot base decisions on a selective group, it divides instead of building inclusiveness. We all know this yet it continues to happen. I do think education is key though and it has a domino effect as the educated person educates those around them.
