There Should Be a Moratorium on All Muslim Immigration to Australia Says Pauline Hanson

NEWS.com.au: RIGHT-wing firebrand Pauline Hanson says she will run on similar policies to those that won her international notoriety a decade ago when she vies for a Queensland Senate seat at the upcoming election.

The main difference will be that this time the former fish and chip shop owner, who claims credit for forcing the Howard Government to adopt a harder line on immigration controls, will target Muslims.

"We need to have a look at our immigration levels and I'd like to have a look at putting a moratorium on any more Muslims coming into Australia," she said today.

The former One Nation leader has also applied to the Australian Electoral Commission to register Pauline's United Australia Party.

If successful, the party's abbreviated name, Pauline, will appear above the line on the Senate ballot paper, making it easier for people to vote for Ms Hanson.

The 53-year-old populist politician today said her policies had not changed since her days as the independent MP for Queensland electorate of Oxley.

Ms Hanson won Oxley at the 1996 election after being expelled from the Liberal Party because of her explosive views on immigration.

Her maiden speech warning against Asian immigration to the House of Representatives in September 1996 raised hackles in Asia and caused a sensation around the world. Pauline Hanson to oppose Islamic immigration (more)

Reverend Fred Nile (NSW) receives death threats
HERALD SUN: NSW Christian Democratic Party leader Reverend Fred Nile says he has received death threats over his call for a moratorium on Islamic immigration to Australia.

Mr Nile, who is recontesting his upper house seat at the March 24 state election, on Saturday called for a 10-year ban on Islamic immigration. 

He wants the immigration department to give preference to persecuted Christians while studies on the impact of Islamic immigration are carried out during the moratorium. 

Mr Nile has previously called for a ban on the wearing of full-face scarves in NSW. Nile reports death threats
