I am sorry that A Tang has suffered insults because of his race. Racism at heart is simply bad manners and lack of breeding.

But he is wrong to blame Pauline Hanson. He would do well to read her speeches himself with an open mind, rather than rely upon the media distorted versions of what she says. How can the following sentiments be considered racist?

"We welcome anyone who comes here with a genuine wish to better themselves, to be law abiding citizens, and to give their undivided loyalty to this country. We want everyone to be Australians, and to join us by being apart of One Nation, not one of many parts of a divided nation." (Speech at Newcastle)

As she says, no migrants have to forget where they come from, but they should remember where they are now. And join in!

Subject: Pauline Hanson and 60 Minutes

I agree don't ever let 60 minutes interview pauline again, this only confirms the involvement of certain wealthy people in this country in assisting certain politicians in harming Pauline Hanson.

Subject: The mythical 'cash economy'

Mr. Costello, what about the 'black' economy whereby your government allows multinational corporations to take an estimated $200 billion in profits out of this country annually virtually tax-free, (Austand Assoc. discovery), while home companies like BHP have to move offshore in order to survive? What about the fact that you and your fellow politicians accumulate multi-million dollar super. payouts while you do it?

The 'black' economy is another 'red' herring, Mr. Treasurer, to give the media something to crap on about while public attention is distracted from what's really happening to this country with your help. You and your government know very well where the real tax-avoidance occurs.

Subject: Dear Pauline! I'll support if you change your plan! I'm a Asian representative

Your party is planning to remove migrants, especially from Asian countries. Could you tell me about detailed information? I assume Australian industry and economy will be declined dramatically. Is it very sure that all Asians will be kicked out if Pauline becomes prime minister? However, I reckon the issue is bloody difficult because Australian government has been assisted by Asian countries, especially, Japan - one of the biggest customers for export. In addition, majority of Australian people who have ever stayed in Japan said that people are very nice over there and these people treat them nice.

Does that mean that you will still remove Asian people even those Aussies receive good treatment in Japan. However, this exists a difficult problem in front of you. First, you have to remove the Japanese motor plant in SA even though Aussie proposed Toyota to build it.

Second, there are several number of Chinatowns in Australia, especially, Sydney chinatown - one of the biggest chinatown in which Aussie gov't earns lots of wealth by tax. If you plan to remove Asians, just do it. However I consider, in order for Australia to be wealthy and peaceful in the future I strongly recommend you to reform a concept at which your party is trying to do.

Third, technology in Australia is much lower than in Japan. In other words, you're considering to stuck in the low tech country for long years unless you rely on NZ, America or Great Britain.

Lastly, there are a lot of Australians whose spouses are Asians. In order to prevent to get blames from these Australians, you must consider the problem.

I wish you'll consider with seriousness so as to get more supporters for your party.

Thank you.
