Australia's ex-anti-immigrant politician, Pauline Hanson, is planning to relocate to Britain in order to avoid ongoing controversy surrounding her previous remarks about Australia being overwhelmed by Asians. Hanson, who went from owning a fish-and-chip shop to establishing the One Nation party as a significant political entity over ten years ago, shared with Australia's Woman's Day magazine that she is selling her home in Queensland and moving to the UK in search of tranquility. "I will be gone for an indefinite period. It's essentially a final farewell," she stated. "I have reached my limit." I desire tranquility and satisfaction in my life, and that is my goal." Hanson gained popularity in 1996 when she joined the national parliament as an independent advocating for reductions in Aboriginal welfare and immigration from neighboring countries. Her nationalist One Nation party garnered a million votes in 1998, but she was eventually defeated and convicted of electoral fraud, serving a brief jail sentence. After her conviction was overturned in 2003, the red-haired mother of four retired from politics and found fame as a minor celebrity, even participating in a TV dancing competition at one point. Hanson mentioned that Australia has changed too much for her liking, despite some political analysts speculating that the country's mood ahead of the upcoming elections leans towards her views. She expressed disappointment that the once-land of opportunity no longer applies. The increase in asylum seekers arriving in the past year has once again caused division among Australians and is expected to be a major issue in the upcoming elections. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is expected to win the elections, even though his support in opinion polls has recently dropped. Immigration is projected to increase Australia's population from 22 million to 35 million by 2050, with Rudd supporting a "big Australia" that would be more economically self-sustaining, but critics argue that it would struggle to handle the effects of climate change and aging infrastructure.
