        Race in the marketplace
        Racial abuse in the workplace is on the increase, a trend
        some attribute to the rise of Pauline Hanson. As a recent
        court case showed, the human cost can be devastating. Bill
        Birnbauer and Claire Miller report.

        Asian tourism still on the rise despite Hanson
        Tourism to Australia from South-East Asia had increased in
        the past year, despite controversial comments by the
        independent MP Ms Pauline Hanson, the State Government said
        yesterday.

        Hanson may hurt Victoria most: MP
        Victoria had the most to lose from Pauline Hanson's public
        comments because its exporting relationship with Asia was
        stronger than any other state, the State Government said
        yesterday.

        Pauline Hanson views reported by neo-Nazis
        Britain's leading neo-Nazi group, the British National
        Party, promoted the views of Ms Pauline Hanson and her One
        Nation party in its failed bid to win seats in last month's
        general election.

        Patriot games
        What happened in Adelaide ought to be of concern because 600
        ordinary folk whooped and cheered and whistled and clapped
        with enough sincerity to dispel any notion that Ms Hanson
        will simply fade away.

        Tourism fears over Hanson's influence
        The Australian Tourist Commission warned that the harm
        Pauline Hanson was causing Australia's reputation as a
        friendly and tolerant society could threaten the $16 billion
        travel industry.

        Hanson takes aim at party tensions
        Pauline Hanson has sought to exploit leadership tensions in
        the federal Liberal and Labor parties by questioning the
        ambitions of their leaders, Mr Peter Costello and Mr Gareth
        Evans.

        Faces of One Nation
        Pauline Hanson's supporters say the Queensland MP has had
        the guts to stand up and articulate what Australians have
        found impossible to say for many years.

        Vanstone acts on Hanson adviser
        THE Federal Government has confirmed it is investigating
        allegations that a former Liberal staffer helped establish
        Ms Pauline Hanson's One Nation party while working for a
        senior Federal Government MP.

        The men behind the woman in the spotlight - Hanson's
        backroom boys
        Dr Eddy de Ruyter believes Australia is heading towards
        civil war unless Asian immigration is stemmed. Mr John
        Cumming believes civil disorder will occur unless foreign
        investment in Australia is stopped. These two men are the
        brains behind some of Pauline Hanson's more controversial
        views.

        Hanson's message hits trade, says MP
        A senior Victorian Government minister claimed that Asian
        investors were eager to do business in Victoria but were
        perplexed by the race debate inspired by the Queensland
        independent MP Ms Pauline Hanson.

        Hanson reversal on book
        Pauline Hanson has sought to reposition herself on race,
        immigration and gun control, critisising the racist comments
        of Liberal Senator Ross Lightfoot and disowning half the
        contents of her own book.

        Liberal staffer worked for Hanson: new claim
        A Former Liberal Party staff member is under investigation
        following allegations that he helped establish Ms Pauline
        Hanson's One Nation party while working for a senior Federal
        Government MP.

        Immigration cuts split Libs, ALP
        Changes to immigration levels in the wake of the Hanson
        debate have split the Liberal and Labor parties.

        Migrant level cut `to help jobless'
        The Federal Government has cut the migrant intake for the
        next financial year, arguing the move is a response to
        unemployment and not the anti-immigration claims of Pauline
        Hanson.

        Hanson travel claims checked
        The Federal Government is investigating whether the
        independent MP Ms Pauline Hanson abused her parliamentary
        privileges before her tours in Western Australia, Tasmania
        and Victoria.

        Hayden sets sights on Hanson
        The former Governor-General, Bill Hayden, will set up a
        community group in his old seat of Oxley to fight the
        re-election of Ms Pauline Hanson, describing her as a
        gullible political innocent being exploited by others.

        Liberal plan likely to seal Hanson re-election
        The Liberal Party is planning to direct preferences to Ms
        Pauline Hanson at the next election, in a move likely to
        ensure the independent federal MP is re-elected.

        Hanson accuses PM of inciting violence
        Pauline Hanson has accused the Prime Minister of inciting
        violence against her, labelling the protesters who forced
        her to abandon the meeting in Hobart as ``thugs'' and ``John
        Howard's accomplices''.

        Hanson makes streets unsafe, court told
        INDEPENDENT MP Ms Pauline Hanson has been accused of making
        Melbourne streets unsafe after a Malaysian-born woman
        appeared in court for damaging the car of a motorist who
        racially abused her.                                         
        Pauline's People
        On Monday about 50 people went to the Geelong West Town Hall
        to form the first Victorian branch of Pauline Hanson's One
        Nation Party. This is what they believe.

        Hanson's critics say PM spoke too late
        The Opposition yesterday condemned the motives and timing of
        the Prime Minister's attack on the independent MP Ms Pauline
        Hanson as Ms Hanson faced another angry protest, this time
        in Hobart.

        Hanson: Origin of the species
        In 1987, John Howard failed to stop the destructive
        Joh-for-PM juggernaut. A decade later, his leadership is
        again being challenged. Has his formal rebuttal of Pauline
        Hanson come too late? Virginia Trioli reports.

        The pushing and shoving behind the troubled birth of One
        Nation
        To pinpoint the genesis of Pauline Hanson's high profile you
        need to travel to Miami. Miami Beach, a few kilometres south
        of Surfers Paradise, that is. Paul Daley of the Sunday Age
        reports.

        The perils of Pauline's party
        All is not well within the Pauline Hanson's One Nation party
        and the threat appears to be coming from the inside, writes
        Martin Daly.

        The monoculture myth
        Immigration has made Australia a culturally richer,
        more varied and more interesting country, says Paul Keating.

        The tiger awakes
        Pauline Hanson's views on race have become a big story
        across South-East Asia with serious implications for
        Australia's relationship with the region, writes Mark Baker.

        Hate fills the vacuum
        Pauline Hanson wouldn't be heard but for the deafening
        silence where there ought to be intelligent debate, argues
        John Schauble of The Sunday Age.

        Voices that shatter our reconciliation
        Wadjularbinna laments what the Member for Oxley's views say
        about the state of race relations in Australia today.

        In diversity lies the strength within us
        Divisions of "them" and "us" are no longer valid in
        Australia's immigration debate, argues Manika Naidoo.
