Australia's ex-anti-immigrant politician, Pauline Hanson, is planning to relocate to Britain to avoid ongoing controversy surrounding her previous comments about Asians overwhelming Australia. Hanson, who rose from owning a fish-and-chip shop to founding the One Nation party, announced in an interview with Australia's Woman's Day magazine that she will be selling her home in Queensland and moving to the UK in search of tranquility. She stated, "I will be leaving for an unspecified period of time. It's essentially a permanent goodbye. I have reached my limit." I desire tranquility and satisfaction in my life. 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 received a million votes in 1998, but she ultimately lost her seat and was convicted of electoral fraud, serving a brief jail sentence. After her conviction was overturned in 2003, she left politics and became a minor celebrity, even participating in a television dancing competition at one point. Hanson expressed her dissatisfaction with the changes she has seen in Australia, despite speculation by political analysts that the country's mood is once again aligning with her views. She believes that the country is no longer the land of opportunity as it once was. The increase in asylum seekers has caused division among Australians and is expected to be a major issue in the upcoming elections, which Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is expected to win. Immigration is projected to increase Australia's population to 35 million by 2050, with Rudd supporting a "big Australia" for economic sustainability, while critics argue that it may not be able to handle climate change and aging infrastructure.
